By cable from San Francisco it has
been learned that the United States
circuit court of appeals for the Ninth
circuit has affirmed the decision of
Judge Brown in the case of Andrew
Grosvold vs. F. E. Whelpley. L. E
James, Jr., of this city, represented
Grosvold, as against J. Bindley Green
Donohoe & Dimond and R. J. Harri
son.
This case was tried before Judge
Brown in the summer of 1916 at Val
dez, when judgment was rendered in
favor of Grosvold, a permanent in
junction issuing from the court re
straining Whelpley or his agents from
trespassing on Bittle Koniuji island
Whelpley was on Bittle Koniuji
island when the department of com
merce called for bids for leasing saif
island from the United States for i
period of five years. Bids were sub
mitted to the department by an as
sociate of Whelpley's and Mr. Gros
void. The department accepted th
bid of Grisvold and issued to him
lease of the island from the Unite
States for a period of five years.
Grosvold allowed Colwell, an en
ploye and agent of Whelpley’s, cei
tain time out of his five-year leasin
period in which to trap Whelpley
foxes already on said island and r
move all of Whelpley’s personal pro
erty. Subsequently Colwell vacaK
said island on September 1, 1914,
agreed. Grosvold then took posse
sion and planted said island with bl
foxes. A short time thereaft
Whelpley went upon said island a
trapped foxes. This trespass was
peated several times. Grosvold th
brought suit in the district court
the territory of Alaska praying
_ an 4njunction to issue forever restra
_ ing Whelpley or his agents from c
tinulng this trespass. Judge Bro
I decided in favor of Grosvold, issu
said permanent injunction. Whelp
took an appeal from this decision
the United States circuit court
appeals, Ninth circuit, sitting at i
Francisco.
The case was argued in San Fr
cisco in the February, 1918, term of
the circuit court, and supplementary
briefs (by both sides) written in ban
Francisco.
Whelpley based his claim to the
| island on possessory rights, and
claimed that the lease Issued to Gros
vold was void on the ground that the
President of the United States had
no authority to issue an executive or
der transferring the jurisdiction over
! this and other islands to the west
ward from the department of the
treasury to the department of com
merce and labor, and further, that
the department of commerce and la
bor had no jurisdiction of the depart
ment of the interior.
Grosvold contended to the contrary.
I upholding the acts of the President
of the United States and the depart
I ment of commerce and labor, and that
his le^se to said sland was valid.
Grosvold claimed that Little Koniuji
island, with other islands to the west
ward, was reserved from entry and
set apart from the public lands on
the ground that when the homestead
laws of the United States were ex
tended to Alaska, in 1898, the An
nette, Pribiloff and all ilslands leased
t or occupied for the propagation ot
. foxes were excepted from the opera
. tion fo the homestead act, and fen
. this reason the department of the in
3 terior had no authority or jurisdic
i tion over this island. This islanc
1 was leased to Rudolph Neuman iron
1896 to 1900, inclusive. Grosvold up
i- .... - ....—
held the department of commerce and
labor and contended that possessory,
rights would not avail as against a
reservation of the United States.
At the trial in Valdez Judge Brown
held Hhelpley to be merely a tres
passer.
The circuit court of appeals af
firmed Judge Brown’s decision, ac
cording to the cable received. The
opinion of the circuit court will be
receive in due coure through the mail.
