' Dog Races Become
Spring Event At
Shaktoolik Village
By LAWRENCE KAYOUKLUK
SHAKTOOLIK — As most
Alaskans are always interested in
celebrations, festivties, and espe
cially dog team races, we have de
cided to tell of the two days of
| dog races held here on the 17th
and 18th of April.
The 17th was cold, with a brisk
north wind, and it was blowing
snow, but in spite of that, the
Ladies 8-Mile Race was held.
There were nine entries: Miss
Rena Nakarak, Mrs. Jessie Pan
iptchuk, Mrs. Laura Kayoukluk,
Mrs. Mary Katchatag, Miss Helen
Rock, Miss Eva Rock, Mrs. Erma
Sookiayak, Mrs. Ida Nakarak,
and Mrs. Lucy Sockpealuk. Only
four teams were able to complete
the course, however we have noth
ing but praise for the ladies who
were unable to complete the
course, due to the wind and other
difficulties on the trail. It was
also the first time out on the
trail this winter for most of them.
The winner of the first prize of
$10 was Mrs. Laura Kayoukluk,
who drove her team over the
course in 39 minutes. Second place
winner of $6 was Mrs. Jessie Pan
iptchuk, in 41.02 minutes. Miss
Helen Rock won third place, $4,
in 44 min., and in fourth place
was Mrs. Mary Katchatag, with
55.56.
The main event was the men’s
32-mile race, held on the 18th.
Willie Takak of Shaktoolik won
this race. He is an old dog team
mail carrier, with thousands of
miles of dog mushing experience.
He won $75, and his running time
was 2:02.25. In second place was
Charles Aylie of Elim, who won
$50, with a time of 2:31.46. Ed
ward Sagoonick of Shaktoolik
took third place and $30 his time,
2:33.31. In four place, and win
ner of $20, was Silas Sockpealuk
of Shaktoolik, in 2:40.32.
Andrew Nakarak of Shaktoolik
took fifth place and $10, in 2:48.15.
John Rock, sixth, won $5 in 2:50.
07. He is also of Shaktoolik.

Dan Tatak, Shaktoolik; Franklin
Paniptchuk, Shaktoolik; Andrew
ftfashalook, Unalakleet; Stanley
Ryan, Unalakleet, and Gilbert
Paniptchuk, Unalakleet.

and the organi?ers wish to thank

Bartender Found
Guilty of Murder
Night Spot Owner
JUNEAU,' UP\ — Frank Marrone,
31, Anchorage bartender, was con
victed of second degree murder
early today by a federal court
jury which deliberated 5Vfe hours.
Marrone was accused of slaying
Anchorage night club owner Don
Ianatti last July 18 after an after
noon of gambling in which the
prosecution contended the two
flipped silver dollars for stakes
up to $100 a toss.
The jury of 10 women and two
men decided on second degree
murder, instead of first degree,
with which Marrone had been
charged.
U. S. District Judge J. L. Mc
Carrey Jr. set Friday at 9 a.m.
for sentencing. Second degree
murder is punishable by not less
than 15 years to life
Ianatti was slain in the Pink
Garter night club which he op
erated on the Seward Highway
just outside of Anchorage.
The six-day trial was held here
on a change of venue from An
chorage. Marrone contended he
was having dinner at another club
at the time of the shooting.
the fine sportsmanship shown.
Three charter plane loads also ar
rived from Unalakleet, to attend
the races, and it was apparent
they all enjoyed their brief stay
here. Free coffee was served to
all in a local coffee shop, and the
winners were given their prizes
on Saturday evening, following
the men’s races.
About a week before the races
a very serious mishap took place
here, but we are-glad to say it
ended happily. Five of our men
drifted out on the ice, while out
sealing. They reluctantly aban
doned their four dog teams on a
pan of ice, hoping that the teams
would drift back ashore. The men
arrived home safely minus their
teams, and very fortunately their
teams were blown ashore two days
and nights later. Edward Sagoo
nick and Silas Sockpealuk were
so happy to get their teams back
they celebrated by entering the
races; although they knew their
dogs weren’t in shape. They nev
ertheless were in the money. The
other three men were Saul Sock
pealuk, Gustoff Sagoonick and
Edward Nakarak.
