» EAGLE CO’S. MIX-UP.
Allen Refuses to Turn Over Papers And
» Belsea Withdraws His Support—A
Peculiar State of .\.tairs-Nu Hotel.
.
Aii construction on the Hotel de
1 .
Roden, sold bv that gentleman to
4, .
C. li. Allen, has ceased. It is stat
i
ed authoritatively that Allen will
never complete it. It seems that
the Hagle Mining Co. weresuppos
!
£d to be backing Alien, and from
the tact that Allen claimed to owd
a quarter interest in 4a (rlen, men
r
*■* were found who were willing to
work on ‘bad-rock’ and wait for
A Heirs ‘wash-up/ But like a flash
from a clear sky came word that
Bei^ea of the Eagle Co. had with
er awn the favor of his countenance
and on top of this the supeiintend
e it of construction was told that he
J
could not eat any longer at his
boarding house on ‘bed-rock/ then
? al) work stopped. Mr J. Belsea
was .seen and in answer to some
questions said: “We never guar
anteed anything connected with Mr
Allen’s hotel scheme. We have
enough to do to pay our own bills.
Mr. Allen is not connected with the
wise. While we have no regular
Hi attorney, for any legal advice we
^ require we consult K. J. Knapp.
► Alien has made the statement that
he owns a quarter of 4a; this is a
—falsehood, he has nothing to bo
PlT^ith it.” From this it can be seen
that the entente cordiaie between
f ^company in any way, agent or other
t
Allen and the Eagle Mining Co. is
badly bent, to say the least. It is
rumored that the break was caused
by Allen refusing to turn over some
papers belonging to the company,
holding them to force recognition
of his claims Belsea said: “It is
true that Alien is in possession of
valuable papers, but we have not
yet made formal demand for them.”
Jack Nelson may purchase the
logs that Sam Heeter has hauled
on the ground and erect a one story
hall, in place of the ornate two
story structure designed by Allen
chinked with moss and mud.
BELSEA OFF TO EAGLE.
Supposedly to Secure Counsel In 4 Case.
Great Activity Of Allens Typewriter
Followed by Nervous Prostration.
J. Belsea of the Eagle Mining Co.
leaves for Eagle this morning. It
is rumored that his object is to se
cure counsel in the 4a Glen case.
He will meet Dillon, who comes in
over the ice, at Eagle and confer
over the outlook. Belsea, Beard
sley and Allen were busily engaged
all day yesterday in copying papers
for Betsey’s use above. Belsea’s
departure was a surprise to many
and considerable speculation is in
dulged in as to what he expects to
accomplish by the trip. There is
no judge in Eagle and there is no
likelihood of there being one there
for some months yet, so that factor
is eliminated. Mr. Allen it is ru
mored, is confined to bed with an
attack ot nervous prostration induc
i ed by excessive strain over his
typewriter.

This closes the first round in the
legal battle over the ownership of
the lower half of 4a Glen Gulcu,
and puts a stop to all further woik
on the claim. The dumps vill rt
‘ main in their present condition un
til the case is finally settled. As it
is highly probable that 110 judge
will be. appointed until fall the ca.^e
will not be disposed of earlier than
the summer of 1903. Frank Hiatt
left Uualaklik yesterday for Ram
part and it is supposed that lie is
j the bearer of the papers referred to
in the telegram.
Marshal Dribelbis left for Glen
j at 7 o,clock this morning and will
j
enforce the order of the court clos
ing down the claim and stopping
‘ all work on the disputed ground.
