SEWARD, Oct. 23.—The plaintiff
completed hU case In the suits for the
Seward townsite this morning. On
cress examination Colonel Swanitz ad
mitted Joining in a contract between
the Tanana Construction Company and
John E. Ballnine in which Ballaine
stated that he was the owner of the
townsite. Attorney James A. Haight,
attorney for the defense was called by
the plaintiff to Identify the minutes of
a meeting of the board of directors of
the Alaska Central railroad and on
cross examination it was developed
that Haight was at that time legal
advisor of the Alaska Central. The wit
- ness stated in answer to questions that
the officials of the railroad had not
been notified that the road laws of Al
aska prohibited railroad corporations
from owning townsites and upon learn
ing of this provision the directors re
fused to have anything to do with it
but allowed Ballaine to take up the
townsite project. The testimony
throguhout has been equally damaging
to Ballaine. When the plaintiffs case
was completed this morning Haight
moved that the case be dismissed but
the motion was overruled by the court
on the grounds that the whole case
should be heard. Pursuant to the
court’s ruling the defendant's case
commenced this afternoon.

IOITAROD TRAVELERS
HAVE HARD EXPERIENCE
Mr. Henry Riley, a mining operator
of the Iditarod section arrived In the
city on the Bear from St. Michael this
morning after an experience on the
Yukon river, tligj, will undoubtedly live
f lYf Ills memory' for some time. Mr. Riley
left Iditarod on the launch Tramp to
gether with a number of others. In
cluding several women, who were In
tending to make their way down the
fiver to St. Michael but run Into a
\ariety of vicissitudes that would be
looked upon as harrowing in any other
country. The party departed on Oc
tober 6 and reached the mouth of the
river on the 12th but were compelled
to return to Kotllk owing to the Ice.
Here they were frozen in for good and
the remainder of the journey was made
by means of dog teams hired from the
Indians and finally arrived at St. Mich
ael on the 20. Owing to the party not
appearing? for so longj a period the
report was sent -out that they were
lost and the commandant at St. Mich
ael sent out ft relief expedition in (
search of them. The relief party were I
provided rations and such Impediment! i
s might be needed but found no need I
for their services when finally locating (
the missing travelers at a point about
thirty miles from the post. The wea
ther was freezing throughout the jour
ney and the party were compelled to
suffer many hardships but all come
through the ordeal safely Including one
invalid, Wm. Detterlng, well known to
old timers under the name of "Cari
bou Bill.” Detterlng was badly Injured
by being thrown by a steam scraper
a few days before the party left on
their trip. On arrival at St. Michael
the troubles of the party appeared to
be over but they were again subjected
to some unusual experiences before
getting away yestt, day on the coast
guard cutter Beai . •lib had come to
lihuL point expreaiit.* to pick up the
passengers marooned there by the
freezing of the bay. The Bear was not
able to approach within less than two
milts of the shore and the ship’s boats
were compelled to cut and break their
way through the loose ice to a point
some half mile or so from shors in
order to reach the party of about eigh
teen persona who were In waiting. Mr.
Itiley speaks in terms of the highest
praise of the officers and crew of the
cutter and particularly of the latter
> whom h,j» says are worthy of reward for
their efforts In breaking their way
through the ice at imminent risk of
life and limb In order to rescue the
stranded ones. The sailor boys were
compelled to tigirt every Inch of * mile
and a half of Ire that was not strong
I enough to travel over and was Still so
iheavy as to make t lie task af getting
[through one of the most dUBcult as
1 ture. Time and again the sailors broke
j through the Ice up to their shoulders
|but still kept at their task despite the
exposure and freezing weather and at !
length reached a point about three
hundred yards from the little group on
the Ice. Further progress then be
came so difficult that the party were
under the necessity of crossing over
an exceedingly dangerous piece of Ice
covered water by means of an Eskimo
boat placed on runners by some enter
prising nctive who exacted as high as
five do'lars for transporting the party
over to the ship’s boats. They were
finally .anded safely In the cutter’s
boats and were then towed back to the
ship by means of a tow line which had
been carried along by the crew on their
way inshore For the efforts of the cut
ter and her crew Mr. Riley is loud In
his praises and declares that they dis
played a spirit that Is seldom seen and
which Is worthy of the highest praise
Aboard the Bear the party, among
which were three ladles, were treated
with the utmost kindness and consid
eration by Captain Cochrane and were
safely landed In Nome this morning at
7:30.
Dettering was hurried to the hospital
on arrival and Is none the worst for
his experience, indeed, is said to have
Improved greatly on the trip. Mr.
! Riley Is a prominent operator on Flat
. creek In the Idltarod and Is a member
of the firm of Riley and Altken. He !
states that everything was frozen up
In the Idltarod by the 10th of the pres
ent month with the exception of the
dredges which were still operating at
last accounts. There will be but little
doing In the camp this winter aside
from a little prospecting . It Is esti
mated that the population will be about
twelve hundred this Winter.
