George Potter, former manager of
the Sloane Paine company. had left
the city after contracting debts
among his friends and fellow men,
bers at the Spokane club, and over
drawing his account with the firm by
which he was employed.
Making use OF the name of George

herman Of Saltwater, who was at one
