ATTEMPTED HOMICIDE. exciting
topic of conversation the past week
has been the shooting of Mr.. E. J..
, Baldwin of San Francisco, more
commonly known as " Lucky Bald
win" by a young lady generally sup
posed to be Fanny V. Baldwin, for
merly of this place. The assault
was committed on the 4th instant, in
the hotel owned by the wounded
man in San Francisco. The shot
is not presumed to be necessarily
fatal, as Fanny has been admitted to
bail i'll the sum of 81 900. 1t seems
that Miss Baldwin, claiming to be q
distant relative of the millionaire.
has been at various times the past
five years in his employ. She af.
firms that be has wronged her, and
if this is true it has probably led to
a despondehcy which has unsettled
her mind. There can he but very
little doubt of the identity of the
young lady, although the dispatches
are very contradictory in many state
ments relating to Ler former life.
Miss Fanny is a printer by trade,
and is we'll known to the craft on
Puget Sound, all of whom accord
her an unblemished name while here.
1t is sincerity hoped that sue may be
relieved from her present difficulties
and restored to mental health.
