Daily Union, July 8, 1884, page 2George Justice, proprietor of a livery stable, living at Grants Pass, Jackson County, Oregon, had trouble yesterday with a young Indian. The row resulted in Justice shooting the Indian twice, inflicting wounds necessarily fatal. Both parties had been drinking heavily. It is claimed that Justice was the aggressor; that he followed the Indian, firing at him. The Indian finally drew a knife and turned on Justice, when he received the fatal shots. The wounded man is the son of Umpqua Joe, the old sub-chief of the Umpqua Indians. Justice was arrested at once, and is now in custody, awaiting the result of the Indian's injuries.
