TOPEKA.—Facts involved compell
ed courts and attorneys to abandon
their cut-and-dried methods in writ
ing the history of the case of Nels O.
liultberg against Peter and Fricde
liutg Anderson, and make it read like
it Rex Beach romance. Apparently
the last chapter was written when an
opinion written by John C. Pollock,
federal judge, was filed with Morton
Albaugh, clerk of the court. The
. opinion closes the back cover on a
story that has been in the making
since Peter H. Anderson of Kansas
City went to Alaska back in 1897 to
make Christians out of Eskimo In
dians, and instead found gold.
Early in the 90s Peter 11. Anderson,
then little more than a boy, was strug
gling along out in Central Kansas
trying to get an education. Through
a friend he learned of the Swedish
Evangelical Mission Covenant of Am
erica, a missionary organization of
Chicago.
He learned that by binding himself
to give a certain number of years of
his life to missionary work under the
direction of the mission the latter
would agree to educate him free of
charge.
Anderson accepted the offer as an
opportunity. He was educated in Chi
cago, the mission paying the bills.
His agreement was to tlie effect that
after his education was completed ho
should go into foreign fields and do
missionary work. When his course
was completed Anderson was sent to
Alaska, to the Nome district, to as
sist Nels <1. Hulthurg, the missionary
in charge. That was in 1897. Prev
ious, to that he had met a nurse in
the mission and they had made prom
sises.
A year after Anderson reached Al
aska gold was discovered. Hoth An
derson and Hulthurg filed on claims
and Anderson developed a claim from
which nearly a million dolors in gold
was taken. It was rich beyond all his
dreams, and he worked it. Then came
tiie information from the mission to
the effect that he. was a trusted ser
vant of that organization during his
years of bondage, and that his ser
vices belonged to the mission; con
sequently the gold he had mined be
longed to the mission.
Anderson came back to the states,
and he and the nurse, who had wait
ed, made good their promises. The
mission claimed the money he brought
back with him, and. he made some
payments to it up to 1800. Then he
maintained that his duty was to his
wife, and lie purchased land in Dick
inson county and made it over to his
Wife,
In the meantime the mission had
brought suit in an Illinois court for
the money Anderson had dug out of
the ground, but before the litigation
tad progressed far all claims against
Vn.lerson were sold to Hultburg by
ite mission.
I pressed the suit in Illinois and
f'd judgment for $2.32,200. The case
las tarried through the Illinois courts,
l.'-ugh the federal courts, and on to
the supremo court of the United
-ti des. In every instance the judg
ment of ttie lower court was sustain
'd.
After securing the judgment Hult
mrg brought suit in the district court
if lieu i sen county on the judgment
granted in Illinois. Judgment was
i gain given him. Then Hultburg
brought suit in tHe federal court of
his district to subject the Kansas
and deeded to Anderson's wife to the
judgment.
