Intelligence has reached us from the Upâ€" per Ottawa that a man named Alfred Wright was shot by an Indian on Chandiere Portage, French River, just below the foot of Lake Nipissing, on the morning of the 8th inst. It appears that Wright, who keeps a small store twelve miles from Nipissing, on the Toronto Road, had some window sashes temporarily stored in the shanty of one Keeso, an Indian, at the foot of Chaudiere Portage. Wright and his brother were passing homewards on the evening in question, and on their way up called at the Indian‘s hut for the sashes. The Indian was not at home, so they took the sashes andâ€"conveyed them over the Portage. After this, and before they had got the canoe over, the Indian came along in a towering passion at them for taking the sashes from his place while he was abâ€" sent; and demanded $30 storage. â€" This the Wrights very properly refused, whereupon the Indian threatened to shoot the elder Wright. ~The Intter did not â€" pay any attention. to the threat; but the Indian‘s boast was not an idle one, for he almost immediately fired at the elder Wright, the charge entering his right thigh, causing a terrible wound.
