RESIDENTS OF UNGA PEEVED AT
LAW’S DELAY IN SHOOTING AFFRAY
Adolph Haaf, an employe of tht
Alaska Codfish company, has been
bound over to the grand jury at Unga
for shooting Fred Johnson. The fol
lowing account of events leading up
to the shooting has been received by
the Gateway with a request that it be
printed for the benefit of Unga resi
dents, there being no paper there.
-A
Thc steamer “Dora” arrived in
Unga Tuesday, April 24th. bringing a
good size shipment of cheap booze.
The fishermen on the island send “out
side” for the stuff and when it ar
rives they have a “celebration among
themselves.
Two days after the arrival of the
Dora three fishermen, very much un
der the infuence of drink, took a
small skiff about S:G0 in the evening
and started up Delarof bay. When
they had gone about 100 yards the
eay boat was half full or water, so
they hauled it on the beach, dumped
the water out and only one ot the
men started out again. Ho had gone
only a short distance when the boat
swamped. He called for help.
One of his friends, whose name is
Fred Johnson, heard the cry and
started for a dory that was on the
beach, property of the Alaska Codfish
company. Adolph Haat. in whose
charge the dory had been placed for
his use in fishing, saw Johnson at
tempting to launch the dory. F.ven
though Haaf knew that a man was in
danger of drowning he refused to al
low Johnson to take the dory. John
son immediately ran to a nearby pool
room to get a knife and cur. the lines
that held the dory fast. He met two
other fishermen and told them of the
plight of the man in the small ski ft
They rushed to the beach and launch
ed the dory. Johnson returned and
the three men went out to look for
the man in the swamped boat.
In the meantime Haaf went home
for his gun. When he reach ex? the
beach the three men had already
hauled the dory on the beach and made
it fast.
Johnson stepped up to Haaf, who
was absolutely sober, to reprimand
him for his refusal of the dory. As
Johnson came closer, Haaf command
ed him to halt, but Johnson came clos
er. Haaf whipped out his gun and
pointed it at Johnson’s breast. John
son. although drunk, knocked the hand
that held the gun and the first shot
penetrated Johnson s right thigh and
passed through to the other side of
the leg, lodging just above the knee.
The other shot inflicted a flesh wound
just to one side of the knee cap of
the left leg.
John begged Haaf not to shoot.him
any more, that he would go with Haaf
anywhere he wanted him to. He limp
ed to the poolroom and exposed his
wounds and was rushed to the dep
uty U. S. marshal’s office and had his
wounds dressed. Haaf surrendered
himself to U. S. Commissioner F. C.
Driffield. N’o arrests were made and
the would-be-murderer went about his
business unmolested until some of the
residents demanded that action be
taken and a warrant be issued for the
arrest of Haaf.
Two days after the shooting of
Johnson. Haaf was arrested and ap
peared for trial before the U. S. com
missioner. After hearing the state
ments of ;he defendant and the wit
res*: the < ommissioner bound Haaf
to appear oefore the grand jury of
the distn t court in Vr.Vez un.-rc a
light aond. Only one of the star v»t
nessss is si bpoenaed nnpear with
Hnnf in ‘hi same cou't.
It was plainly handed to the com
missioner that if he would not take
action on this case, the residents? of
Unga lake the law in th°ir o**n
hands and deal with Haaf as they
saw fit.
It is seems that the marshal has no
power to make an arrest whether it

MYSTERY STORY IS
EMPRESS FEATURE
“The Precious Picket” is the fea
ture film to be shown at the Empress
Tuesday night. In this film it is told
how, under the auspices of “The
Younger Sons,” Nigel Stuart, a young
Englishman, performs an unusual ser
vice for his country. A penniless
“younger son” of Lord Norex, Nigel
Stuart, is disappointed in love and
leaves the home of his father.
Through Everett and Kingdom he be
comes a member of “The Younger
Sons,” an organization composed of
penniless sons of English nobles under
the patronage and in the service of
the government. In return for their
deeds, wealth and glory are bestowed.
Nigel is ordered to Canada on his first
mission. In his possession is a sealed
packet, the contents of which are un
known to him and which is not to be
opened before a set date.
Jacqueline, princess of Bourbon,
through an ancient grant, lays claim
to a throne in Canada. She learns
that Nigel’s mission in some way af
fects her cause and upon his arrival
kidnaps him. Nigel thwarts his cap
tor’s every move. Jacqaeline's advis
ors urge her to use iier wiles in a
final effort to secure the packet. But
Jacqueline loves too earnestly to bene
it the cause. Her followers overrule
her and are about to torture Nigel,
when he sees an unmistakable ligh*
in her eyes Before their arrival she
conceals the packet unopened. With
a revolver she holds her desperate
followers at bay and she and Nigel
make their escape. In the roadway
they meet two masked men in a high
powered automobile, who offer to take
them to safety. At a parsonage, after
Nigel’s marriage to Jacqueline, the
men unmask. Nigel stands facing
Everett and Kingdom, who order him
to open the packet. It reveals the
mystery.
is a petty case or a criminal unless the
commissioner authorizes him to do so,
under complaint. The people cannot
understand why a man should not be
arrested for attempting to take the
1 life of another man, unless some one
makes a complaint and swears to a
warrant of arrest, even though the
authorities are aware of the fracas.
