LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

CHARLES FRENDo alias Maltese Char
ley,who originally hailed from the Isle of
Malta, was under the influence of liquor
and had what we term a mean drunk on
him. He obtained from party the use
of double-bnrrelled shotgun, with the
pretense of shooting some rabbits. Such,
however, was not the case. He went,
with malice aforethought, blood in his
eyes and murder in his heart, and I'M
loaded one of the barrels at Louis God
rsnil, who halls from the Isle of France,
with the sole purpose of killing him
Godrenil was sitting in chair in his
cabin doorway at the time he saw Char
ley approach him and suspecting his in
tent threw himself in position low
enough to escape the contents, which, if
he had not moved, would have lodged in
his head. Charley afterward went into
the Miners saloon and unloaded another
barrel in the roof of the building and
was soon brought to time by our vigilant
officer W. L. Mckee and remanded to
Jail to await judicial investigation for
his murderoas intent.
STABBINa AFFRAY. - We learn from
Tom DeMasters that on Sunday very
serious affair occurred at the Smile
wells. 1t seems that one Doc Clay, for
merly owner of that place, tried to induce
Mr.. Hazeltine, the present owner who
was in a state of inebriety to sign a GER
tain document, which he refused to DO.
Clay Immediately commenced to threaten
him that if he did not comply with his
wish he would put an end to his earthly
existence. Hazeltine still failing to sign
the document Clay drew huge dirk and
commenced cutting. He made several
dashes at him and cut him very severely
IN the arm and wrist. DR.. ID. L. Deal
was Immediately summoned to attend
the injured man, and Sheriff Fife started
IN pursuit of the fugitive. 1t is sincerely
hoped that he will have no trouble in his
undertaking.
SOLID MAN.--On Sunday night an in
dividual who happened to be under the
influence Of a soothing beverage. imagin.
ing that he was "Mu!aoon, the solid
man, started in to declare himself as a
tighter in saloon on Meadow Valley
street, by using abusive language and
making general row. The proprietor,
however, being man of robust build,
and somewhat inclined to be one of the
boys himself, thought he would tackle
the intruder, and Muldoon had the con.
eelt soon taken out of him by receiving
acouple of good blows on his head and
Iace. He came to the conclusion that
hghters were at discount in Phoebe and
not at premium, and also thought thai
wise men change their minds; fools
never, and walked off a sadder bnl
wiser man.
