WANTS DEER
_ i
Ownership of Kusko
kwim Herds Are in
Dispute.
Seattle, Sept. 18.—A contro
versy has arisen over the owner
ship of several large, herds of
reindeer in the Kuskokwim val
ley, Jafet Lindeberg, for whom
the deer were purchased by J.
Frostlin, claiming that, despite
the fact that checks on the de
funct Scandinavian American
Bank given in payment were
never honored, the deer are law
fully his.
The reindeer were purchased
about three years ago for a rela
tively small cash payment from
G. Spain and Sara'Bros., Akiak,
who were bound by contract to
care for the deer for three years.
As payments matured checks
were given on the Tacoma bank,
the doors of which were closed
before the checks were present
ed for payment. The original
owners now wish to declare the
deal off and resume control of
their herds.
