Richardf Wounded by Mistake
The Trial Postponed.
William Larsen was arrested last
Thursday, charged with making an
assault with deadly weapon on a
man named Richardt, at Koolaupoko,
this island. Larsen was formerly
connected with the police here, and
is we'll known in town. The hear
ing came up last Saturday morn
ing in the Police Court, and was
postponed until Wednesday.
The particulars Of the case are
stated to be as follows: Larsen has
been stock raiser for some time,
and about three months ago was the
victim OF several raids on his cattle,
by which he was considerable loser,
and he made up his mind to catch
the thief if possible.
One morning about the time men
toned above he saw two men ap-
proach his ranch on horseback. He
called for them to halt; they did not
obey him and he leveled his shot
gun with the intention of laming
one of the horses.
Some of the shot took effect in
Richardt's knee, causing him to stop.
After an explanation from the
wounded man Larsen discovered his
mistake, and Immediately had the
man brought to shelter, summoned
surgeon and did everything he
could to relieve the condition of the
man. Larsen is ont on $1,000 bail.
