al August 9 after 14 days illness
of complications following diph
theria.

Knudsen apartments. He was

and Mrs. Sherman was employed
at a number of places, including
Kraft’s office and the former
Jerrome’s Grill.
ifeney Is Late-But
Still Acceptable
Three delayed shipments of
money from the Federal Reserve
Bank almost caused the Bank of
Kodiak to “run short of funds"
when eqd of fishing season de
mands and a call for $75,000 by
the Navy almost depleted the
ca-h drawers of the bank this
week.
Bank President 0. A. Torger
son made quick arrangements to
have $50,000 brought from An
chorage by plana, and when it
arrived the overdue funds came
on the same plane.
The shipments totaled $220,000
so the cash supply should be
ample.
