SUIT TO RECOVER
I TOWNSITE IT
The Valdez Prospector publishes the
following details of the complaint
wired from San Francisco to the dis
trict court, in which the charge is
made that Ballaine diverted Alaska
Central money for the purchase of a
townsite at Seward, but retained the
land after patent was granted.
Itevial of an old chnrge that John
F. Ballaine used Alaska Central mon
ey to buy the Seward townsite from
the government appears in an action
tiled in the district court yesterday
| by the Alaska Northern, successor of
the Alaska Central, to impress a trust
In Its favor upon the entire townsite.
John K. Ballaine, Frank L. Ballaine
and thirty "Does” are made defend
ants, along with the Alaska Central
; Hallway company and the Tanana
Construction company.
The charge that John E. Ballaine
touched the Alaska Central for 7,000
bones and blew the bunch into the
soldiern’ additional homestead entry j
of the land that besame the Seward
townsite is an old one in Seward.
Several old Sewardites now living In
Valdez remember the fact well. The
Ballalnes never seemed ruffled by the!
charge because they said It was ab
solutely without foundation, and that
whenever it might become necessary
they could easily prove that the mon-!
ey was their own.
u. u. i^aueree circulated the charge
, In Seward In 1906, the first time he
was there. The story was not new
then. He stated then that the Alas
ka Central would soon bring suit to
have the Ballaine holdings declared a
trust for the railroad company. Noth
ing happened. Mr. I-a he re o became
receiver of the Alaska Centr-’ in Oc
tober, 1908, and continued in that po
sition until the sale of the railroad
under mortgage foreclosure in Octo
ber, 1909. .He then became president
of the Alaska Northern, organized Im
mediately after the sale, but nothing
has' ever been done in the way of
assailing the Ballaine title until yes
terday.
The action was tiled by Donohoe &
Dlmond for the Alaska Northern
Railway company. The entire com
plaint was wired to the local attorneys
from San Francisco at a cost of $448,
by T. C. West, well known here as one
of the attorneys for Captain Barnette
in the numerous criminal cases against
the Tatiana magnate tried in Valdez
| In December, 1912, before Judge
Thomas R, Lyons. The haste is sup
posed to be due to a deBlre to avoid
possible raising of the ten year statute
of limitations, one of the Ballaine pat
ents to the land bearing date May 1,.
1905. The other is dated May 20, 1905
The complaint alleges that the Bal
laines paid $3,000 for the homestead
scrip and $4,000 to Mrs. Mary Low
ell, who, with her family, had lived
for many years on a part of the town
*lte. It avera that John E. Ballalne
obtained possession of the money
through his position as director and
active officer of the Alaska Central
Railway company.
By the suit It is sought to recover
not only the remaining Interest of
the Ilallaines In the Seward townslte,
but also to subject to the alleged
trust all lots sold by them and all
moneys due on contracts. The com
plaint says that all moneys paid to
the Ballaines be recovered by the
Alaska Northern, and that the Bal
laines be enjoined from receiving any
more money payable to them on con
tracts. It is alleged:
“That the deefndants, John E. Bal
lalne and Frank L. Ballalne, hold the
above-described real property afore
said for and on behalf of the plain
tiff, and are each of them la a trustee
ex maleflclo for on behalf of the plain
tiff.” Ex maleflclo signifies In the
English tongue “by his own wrong."
The effect of this explosion on the
real estate boomers of Seward is
awaited with interest.

SYDNEY, May —A plant for treat
Ign molybdenite ores has been estab
lished here, and a first shipment of
1U0 tons of metal is to be sent to
England next month.
The prinicpal supplies of molyb
denum have heretofore come from Ger
man sources, and the cutting off of
these supplies has caused consider
able embarrassment In England. The
metal Is used in the manufacture of
special steels, having the quality of
increasing greatly the (ensile strength
of steel when added to It.

PLACE BOUNTY
ON BROWN BEAR
According to G. T. Barrett, a pio
neer of Katalla, a bounty should be
placed on the brown bears of Alaska
because of the cattle and game de
stroyed by them every year. “The
Alaska brown bear is the most dan
gerous and destructive animal in the
north," said Col. Barrett. "There
should be a price on his head instead
of a bag limit of two bears a year, as
1 understand the law now Is. A
great deal of game and cattle are de
stroyed every year by brown bears
and the animals should be driven out
of Alaska.
