The Rev. F. H. Anderson, for long time Swedish missionary at Chinik, is the defendant in d suit to recover S400,- 93J. The suit was filed yesterday in the district court. and it involves the ownership of No. 9 above on Anvl worked since the fall of 1898, when the famous creek was discovered and staked | by E.,O. LindolCom. Jafet Lindeberg and others.
 The complaint is not without seG- sational features, since it directly charges Clergyman Anderson with de- frauding two natives, Constantine | U,arazuck and Gabriel Adams, ont of their rights.
 ! Briefly told, the story contained in he complaint filed by Attorneys C. NJ. Thuland and T. NJ. Reed for the plaintiffs. Constantine Uparazuck and k. HendrksOn, administrator of the estate of Gabriel Adams, who died in 1900, is to the effect that when Erik Lindbloom left Chinik in September. 1893, on the trip which re suited in tte discovery Of Anvil creek, upon reaching Anvil. he stakcd No. s above for Uparazuck and No. 9 for Gabriel Adams, who at that time were inmates of the Swedish mission at Chinik.
 h h 1ptn nnt IS, 1898, Anderson assuming to act for the natives, and being advised that natives ceuld not hoN mining claims in Alaska, agreed with G. w. Price that he should relocate the claims known as Nos. $ and 9. Price did SO. locating No. 8 for himself and No. 3 in the name of R. l.. Price. the latter transferring No. 9 to P. II. Anderson, ito hold and keep in trust for Gabriel Adams" The cCn,ideratiou stated in the deed was $2O.
 1t is also alleged that Uparazuck and Adams did not know of Anderson agreement with Price. or the taking of the deed, until after it had all been consummated. Later Anderson is alleged to have told the natives that they could not hold mining claims and that he would hold No. 9 for their use and benefit, and the natives iu- nocently trusting Anderson. by virtue of his position and he confidential re- lations existing between them, con sented to the cancellation of their locations and the relocation of their claims, as well as the execution of the trust deed.
 Anderson entered upon end took DOS session of claim No. 9, and in July. 1899, he sold an undivided one-eighlh interest in the claim to attorneys Jack son X Hatch, who subsequently con- veyed their interest to the Alaska Com mercial Company.
 In July. 1900, Gabriel Adams died and K. Hendrikson, also d missionary at't the Swedish mission at Chinik, was appointed administrator of Adams estate. hence his appearance as one of the plaintiffs. Prior to the death of Adams, Andersen. it is alleged, prOn.- ised to account for his trust, but he iaited iu do SD. It is admitted, how ever. that Andersen paid to Heudrik- son $4O0 for Uparazuck.
 The complaint further alleges that Anderson has taken the sum ol $i00. eco from the claim. A receiver is asked for, and the court is also asked 10 aDrOHate the trust and to declare a seven-eighthS interest in the claim 10 belong to Upa aZuck and the estate Of the deceased, Adams.
