For ten years he resided in Daw
son, Prof. George was one of the

tory. He was editor of the Dawson
Nugget for two years and then for
several years he was editor oi‘ the

POTO SHOOTING CASE
REOPENED; OWENS HELD
Eugene Owens, well known pio
neer of the Klondike and Southeast
ern Alaska and longtime resident of
Sum Dum, was arrested the other
day on a warrant charging man
slaughter and was bound over to
the next Federal Grand Jury by
Judge V. A. Paine. He waived pre
liminary examination and statement.
The charge was filed by the Unit
ed States Attorney’s office for the
shooting last week of John Poto by
Owens at Sum Dum. The latter
was completely exonerated by a
coroner’s jury which held an inves
tigation here and before whom
Owens made a frank statement of
the entire affair. The verdict found
that Poto had been killed by Owens
in self-defense.
U. S. Attorney A. G. Shoup said
today that in justice to both Mr.
Owens and the public the matter
should be officially investigated by
a grand jury.
Mr. Owens was represented today
by H. L. Faulkner. Should the
matter not be presented to the
grand jury as a bind over case but
come before it as an original sub
ject, unless it brought in an in
dictment, it was pointed out, it
could not bring in not a true bill
record of its action. This might
lead to complications in the future.
Mr. Owens’ bond was fixed at $2,
000 which was furnished by him with
Charles Goldstein and B. A. Ros
elle as sureties.

and added that everybody .was drink
ing the same beverage.
