ON SERIOUS CHARGE.
SHOT COUNTRYMAN IN FIGHT
Wounded Man Is Desperately Injured
But May Survive---Will Be Grip
pied for Life if He Lives.

Alfred Nystrom, charged with as
sault in the first degree, was arraigned
before Justice White yesterday. The
preliminary hearing was set for May
IA and will be held in Hamilton. Bail
was fixed at $4,000, but was not forth
coming and Nystrom returned to Jail.
The defendant is represented by At
torney w. P. Baker.
Nystrom, who is Finn, on last
Thursday night shot Rickert Asnin-
maa, a fellow countryman, during
drunken row among a party of Firms
at the ranch Of John A. Jacobson, near
Florence.
Asninmaa was desperately wounded
the ball fired from % Colts Auto
matte, having entered the left breast,
penetrating the lung and passing out
near the spine. He may survive the
injury but will be crippled for life.
Nystrom was arrested shortly after
the shooting by Deputy Sheriff Dough-
erty and lodged in Jail at Stevensville
and brought to the county Jail at
Hamilton the next day by Sheriff
Ward.
Nystrom is stupid and ignorant and
said to be quarrelsome. His country
men believe him to be partially de-
mented.
