During namaz, Shpilka attempted to kill Osman but failed after a fight, eventually escaping. Later, Osman hired another Cossack as a guard, but during the night, Shpilka returned with forty-seven more Cossacks, stole all the goods, and injured Osman. The Kosh responded that, despite a thorough investigation, they were unable to locate Shpilka and advised Osman to hire only Cossacks with passports in the future.
