City Loses Deed Suit Over Restricted Property
City backed suit by Tom Nachand against the Department of the Interior ends with Judge Harry Pratt upholding the government's demurrer to the amended complaint. Anchorage attorney Buell Nesbett says title was not proven due to missing transfer records and unprobated estate history. Nesbett suggests pursuing tax foreclosures to raise the core issue, while discussing a potential suit against the city with the U.S. Attorney.

Body Identified as Missing 13 Year Old From Karlak
The headless torso found near Holiday Is has been identified as Harry Antonsen 13 of Karlak who left in February for Kodiak and disappeared. His father Guet Antonsen arrived from Karint this week and identified the body by a t shirt remnant and belt. Deputy Marshall Pas Herring reported the boy was first listed missing in February after his father wired that he left Karink to join navy or Army Transport Service but no enlistment record was found. A coroner's jury earlier could not identify the body or cause of death. The dead boy was nephew of Mary Gallagher and Ammer Anderson of Kodiak.
