Kotzebue
(Special Nugget Correspondence)
Kotzebue, March 3, 1933
Pilot Chester Brown of the NAT
arrived here March 1st with Glenn
Briggs, the Buckland Unit Mana
ger, and Wm. Oliver, manager of
the NAT. Pilot Brown made two
tripe up the Noatak river.
Everyone in Kotzdbue extends
their sympathy to Mary and Jerry
Cop-pock, whose baby died of causes
unknown on Wednesday, March 1.
It seems that, blinded by the
sun, Mary did not see the L & G
plane coming down to land until
it was very close to her. Frankie
Lazarus pulled her away.
In the confusion the baby's head
which was on her back was frac
tured. A coroner's jury in Judge
Southward’s court, found the cause
of the fracture unknown.
This unfortunate occurrence is
one that has long been expected
an-d should be a grave lesson to
both grown up people and children
to stay well clear from both in
coming and outgoing planes.
Judge Southward has. just re
ceived word from Herman Bern
hardt and Frank Stoker at Kiana,
that Leopold GafTe found the body
of Mike Gametes,- the well known
Arctic photographer, upon the floor
of his cab in t frozen. It seems that
he died on or about Feb. 22nd of
heart disease. Everyone will miss
Mike and his wonderful mustache.
Mrs. Annie Joule, wife of Tony
Joule, government -school teacher
*t Buckland, 'passed away last
week at the government hospital.
She leaves a husband and four
children and a brother Max Leib,
and a sister, Mrs. C. D. Moyer of
Point Lay, and many other rela
tives and friends to mourn her
loss.

—City and state Red Cross offi

iday to minimize suffering and start
reconstruction. Late today the fog
which shrouded stricken southern
California lifted and permitted a

forty killed, about 2000 injured
and property damage unofficially
estimated at thirty-five million dol

ed amid the ruins dragging out
bodies arid carrying injured to the
hospitals while the earth shook
under their f> et and tottering walls
of masonry crashed around them.

Thousands of refugees are hud

Many fires were allowed to blaze

SEATTLE. March 11. bP)—Torn
DeAValke, assistant U S Attorney,
began action in the federal court
Friday to confiscate the airplane
owned by Frank Dorbandt. The
plane was seized several months
ago when Dorbandt and Lyanan IJe

with smuggling furs. The charges
were dismissed but confiscation of
the plane is being asked on the
grounds that Dorbandt didn’t have
proper permission to operate It
under Department of Commerce
regulations. ’ .
