rfJREE MURDER CASES TO
BE TRIED AT ANCHORAGE
Three murder eases- w»U; be. tried
before the Third division court, winch
convenes at Anchorage early iiv Octo
ber, says the Anchorage Tittles. The
defendants are M'thUj- McKenna,
charged with the »n»itjer-n>t A1 Mat

Robert Oavis, charged^ With the- mur
ler of ThbnMtar WtlltaJns,. a trapper,
on the Alaska Peninsua; Karl Arm
strongs wjhcf.iaces trial for the second
time ior-tnc murder of Eric Dahlberg
at: Kodihfc.
Armstrong was found guHty before
Judge-E. Coke Hill and sentenced to
serve ,-ifteen years irr the federal peni
tentiary at McNeill's Island. The con

Armstrong claimed he was protecting
the inviolabiity of his home when he
shot Dahlberg.
McKenna shot Matson in the bunk
house at Jumbo two years ago last
May. Going violently insane before
the trial, the kiiler escaped facing the
I court until now. The most baffling
issue in this case is the apparent lack
of motive for the murder.
Robert Davis, a Umatila Indian,,
was said to have confessed to killing
Thomas Williams for his boat after
Williams had sheltered him for the
night. Davis first confessed to kill
| ing three men, hut is later said to
have admitted this was not true..

JUNEAU MINE QUITS
TAKU RIVER DISTRICT
After extensive prospecting ope'"#
tions on the Manville property. in.the
Taku River district, the. Alaska Ju
neau Gold Mining, Company has
closed down all operations. This is
taken to mean that the option on the
property will be surrendered, says the
| Juneau Empire. The next payment
! was due October. 1.
Machinery and other equipment
will be stored in a customs warehouse
at Juneau and wilt .be held in readi
ness for use should the Alaska Ju
neau again enter the Taku field.
The Alaska Juneau has spent
$250,000 in prospecting in the Taku
} district during the last year, during
which time it has employed an av
erage ere wofahou ,t .35 . men.
“The stoppage of work at our pres
ent location does not mean that the
Alaska Juneau has withdrawn from
I the Taku district or lost interest in
the field,” said L. H. Metzgar, gen
eral superintendent of the company.
: “We will watch it with, interest; are
' prepared to look .at any-new discov
S eries made, and will he ready to un
i dertake development .of, any prospect
j that see mstohavegepui. neffl rf fww
