When James Steffani of Truckee appeared in the superior court Tuesday morning for arraignment on a charge of-attempted murder contained in an. information filed by District Attorney W. E. Wright, Jadge Raglan Tuttle raised his bond from $2000 to $7000 and remanded him to the custody by the sheriff until a bond approved by the court is filed. In raising the bond Judge Tuttle remarked that he had read the testimony produced at the preliminary examination in Truckee and _ that Steffani was lucky that he was not facing a murder charge instead of an attempt to commit that offense.
