CHARGED WITH SH0OrING.-On Mon
day last, man named Osmine Frost was
sent up for trial by Mr.. Justice Smith to
the District Court, charged with having
fred two shots at Mr.. A. +. Bender some
time since. 1t appears that Frost has a
homestead claim . few miles from this
town. and is suspicious Of ahy one settling
in this vicinity. Mr.. Bender having TAX
en- up claim adjoining, went down with
some provisions and tools, and when about
N land from a canoe was warned of BY
Frost, and two shots fred at him. We un-
dcrstand that the accused abscntcd himself
for some time, and the warrant could not
be served upon him. He was admitted TO
bail IL the sum Of 81 900. 1t is generally
believed that the man is insane. Seattle
