Long Legal Battle Over Big
Missouri Sale Finally Ended
A decision of the Privy Coun
cil in London has ended the
long litigation arising from the
sale of the local Big Missouri
property for $250,000 s i x
years ago.
The mine was originally
owned by Daniel and Andrew
Lindeborg, formerly of Hyder,
James Proudfoot, Hiram Stev
enson and William F. Harris.
All are now dead except Har
ris, who resides in Port Angel
es, Washington.
Following sale of the proper
ty in 1928, Harris established
a claim to a $50,000 interest
against the estates of Steven
son and Proudfoot under a
partnership agreement.
The estates of the Lindeborg’s
were absolved from liability
in the court action but Mrs.
Laura McEwen, as representa
tive of the Stevenson estate un
dertook to collect from the Lin
deborg estates a portion of the
judgment awarded Harris,
claiming the Lindeborg’s had
agreed to contribute on a pro
rata basis.
The British Columbia sup
reme court allowed her $13,
862 on this plea, which was
later sustained by the Court of
Appeal? and then set aside by
the Supreme Court of Canada.
It was the decision of the latter
court which has been upheld
by the Privy Council.

BIG FIRE DESTROYS
FIVE STRUCTURES IN
BUSINESS CENTER
Continued from Page 1
available.
P> this ;ime a l:.».*e number
of people ha I arrive'1 from
Hyder, B. C., and Stewart and
•vt-mtion was concentrated on
ving th- Goldcir Gate Hotel
building, three-«tory structure
situated about 75 feet east of
the Hyder Grocery. A bucket
brigade, which included many
ladies, particularly from Hy
der, B. C. succeeded in prevent
ing the building from catching
fire, although it was not until
the grocery building was down
that its safety was assured.The
Bank of Hyder building, a
short distance west of the Rey
nolds store, was also a danger
spot, but was fortunately not
involved.
In the meantime, roof fires,
started by blazing fragments
carried by the wind, had ap
peared at several nearby points
and only the close vigilance of
watchers prevented further
outbreaks as far away as the
Hovland cottage, more than a
block from the fire area.
That a far greater destruc
tion was averted was due sole
ly to the citizens of Stewart,
Hyder, B. C and Premier, who
not only supplied most of the
fire fighting equipment, but
also worked like heroes. The
Stewart volunteer department,
headed by Chief W. R. Tooth,
and the members of the Pre
mier baseball team, as well as
other Premier residents, rend
ered herculean service and
won for themselves the deepest
gratitude and thanks of the
citizens of Hyder. By 4 p. m.
the fire had virtually burned
itself out and only heaps of
smoking embers and blackened
debris remained of one of Hy
der’s principal business areas.
About 90 per cent of the
stock and most of the furnish
ings of The Nugget Shoppe
were saved, as well as a major1
portion of the Reynolds house-!
hold furnishings, but the loss j
will approximate $5,000, with i
insurance of $3,000. The
merchandise stock of the Hy
der Grocery and some of ithe
fixtures were saved, but Pro
prietor Reichenbach lost virtu
ally all of his household and
personal effects. The build- j
ing was worth approximately
$3,500 and was not insured.
Aside from a couple 'of hand
bags and seme clothing, no
thing was saved from the Ken
nedy building, and much valu
able dental equipment was de- \
stroyed. The loss will approxi
mate $5,000 with a small
amount of insurance carried.
The Reichenbach boat house
and its contents were a total
loss.
Dr. Kennedy provided the
sole casualty by cutting one
hand so badly on a broken
pane of glass that a half-dozen
stitches* were required. |
