NO ATTORNEY FOUND YET
TO REPLACE VON DER HEYDT
Jim von der Heydt reported to
i day that so far he has been un
j successful in securing an attor
ney for Nome. Mr. and Mrs. von ■
det Heydt are leaving soon for
Juneau where Jim will assume
his duties as a Superior Court
judge for the First District.
He said most attorneys in the
state already have established
practices and so far none have
shown any interest in coming to
Nome. He held out one ray of
hope, however, in that several
young attorneys had taken the
■bar examinations recently but
the results have not yet been
! announced—and it might be that
i one of these might be interested
j in coming here.
