yesterday with Nike Aheara, who was
hound over at the preliminary hearing
AZ that place Tuesday to await the ac-
ton Of the Grand Jury for attempt To
murder Wm. Matson at the Six.
mile house the day previous.

there has been bad blood between the
parties over dispute OF some debt
and the disappearance OF horse; Mike
claiming that Matson owed him some
money and had taken the horse, or
was instrumental in It's disappearance.
A heated argument ensued over this
matter which finally terminated in
in Mike going into the house and com
lug out with a rife. which he pointed
a. Matson; the latter knocked the gun
up JUS a. Mike pulled tho trigger
hich fortunately snapped. An exam
nation Of the gun afterward showed
the magazine to contain eight forty
four calibra cartridges. Mike is now
out on 81 900 bond.
