Idaho World September 29, 1870
 From Mr. Chas. J. Tassell, the Loon Creek Expressman, We learn that about two 
weeks ago a man named George Moyer, who formerly lived in Idaho and was known 
as "Big George" or "Dutch George", was killed on the trail between Ore Grande 
and Salmon City, about twenty miles from the latter place. It appears that 
Moyer had borrowed some money of Garo and then decamed without paying him. 
Garo, accompanied by Jake Paynter, followed him and overtook him on the trail 
above named, when an altercation occured between them. Moyer drew his knife 
and attacked Garo, inflicting several seriouse wounds, when Paynter, in order 
to save Garo, shot Moyer with his six shooter. The wounded man turned and 
started on the trail and was found dead the next day about four miles from 
where the shooting took place. The above statement is given as detailed to us 
by Mr. Tassell
