The bnndholders Of the Seattle. Lake

United States court by decision of Judge

read Company cannot obtain receivers

for interest and sinking fund and alleged
by IL 10 be preferred claim, and showed
some doubt " hether it could establish \
similar claim as TO the amount of ss15,-
41o.63 balance due on account of advances
for construction, equipment and taxes.
The question came up on the hearing of
the demurrer OF the Northern Pacific TO
the intervening answer of the Union
Trust Company as trustees for the bond
holders TO the petition of the Northern
Pacific that the Lake Shore receivers be
authorized to issue receivers certificates
for the two amounts named. ssgregating
81 260. 100 IS as preferred Claims. The
Northern Pacific claimed that this money
was advanced by it for the protection of
the Lake Shore property and that the two
amounts are equities superior to those of
the bondhoiders. II therefore asked that
they be declared prior lien to the mort
gage.
In its answer the trust company alleges
the terms OF the mortgage given to secure
the bonds and sets forth the guarantee o.
interest and sinking fund payments given
by the Northern Pacihc as one of the con-
dtions under which it acquired the ma.
jority of the stock and the agreement TO
complete the road to the boundary. and
that the payments to the amouns Of 1884,
800 were made under this guaranty and
NJ f1tf AT hal "a
. prior lien. The traffic contract under
which the Northern Pacific operated
the Lake Shore road and inter-
changed business with it is also set
forth. The closing paragraph states
that prior to and during all the times
named In the petition, when the advances
in question were made. the Northern Pa
cifc owned more than half the stock. con-
trolled and managed the company and
operated its roads; that its agents and
employees kept the books, disbursed money
and incurred liability on behalf of the
Lake Shore, and that all the advances
named were made voluntarily by the
Northern Pacific IN payment ami satisfac-
ton OF its own obligations and in parsu-
ance of its contracts and in no way on
behalf of the Lake Shore.
Judge Hanford overruled general de-
mgrrer entered by the Northern Pacific to
the answer and refused the petition far
as it related TO the claim of $3Si. go for in
terest and sinking fund payments on the
grounds Sc. forth in the last paragraph of
the answer, holding the answer TO be suffi-
Gent on its face. and that, if the Northern
Pacific could amend its petition 50 as 10
show good equities against the mortgage,
its claim of S275, 63 might stand. He
therefore gave it thirty days in which to
amend its petition on that claim. Thus
the Lake. Shore is relieved OF debt OF
nearly 81. COO 900.
