In the Fourth District Court on Saturday
personal rencounter took place between S.
L. Wilson and B. S. Brooks, attorneys at law
The Bulletin says:
Mr. Wilson was arguing the case of Borel
VS. Tissot and wife, in which allegations oi
fraud were made. and as is usual IN such
cases, stated the allegations Of the complaint
when Mr.. Brooks exclaimed that those per-
sons who cried out fraud were the readiest to
commit fraud, and that the gentleman speech
had been talk about fraud from beginning
to end. Mr.. Wilson turned towards Mr.
! Brooks at these words. and said that he hoped
the gentleman wac not meaning anything
personal in his remark. though it was SO
broad that perhaps such was the intention.
Mr. Brooks replied that he could take it any
way he liked. Mr. Wilson replied by slap
ping the face Of Mr. Brooks, who attempted
to return the blow, when the two clinched.
AS they were falling Mr. Wilson made an
active turn, by which he threw Mr., Brooks
who fell violently over a chair upon the floor
They still retained their hold upon each
other, when Mr. Thornton ran between and
separated them. Judge Hager stated thai
both parties were officers Of the Court anC
ought to know what was due to its dignity
but he supposed that little affairs of this kin,
,OO'tld sometimes happen. AS no great harm
was done on either side, probably no furthe
notice will be taken of the matter.

KNIcnTs LANDING NEws-We are much
pleased with the appearance of this sheet
Just re.started at Knights Landing. on the
line of the San Francisco and Marysyille
Railroad The tore of the paper is sensible
and manly. While the public are eandidly
informed of the difficulties which attend the
enterprise. they are frankly called upon to
lend their assistance to it for the sake of for
wardng their own interests. In any other
country than California snch an appeal would
not be made in vain, and we hardly think it
will be here. In the salutatory of the editor
and proprietor, Mr. s W. Raveley, we find
the following very truthful observations:
There are those in every country and in
all communities who predict failure in eve.
ry thing of public concern; they are ALWAYS
apprehensive that there is something wrong.
they don believe that the railroad will be
built, they don't think it will ever rain again.
and if it should rain for twenty four hours
they become fearful of deuge-thev don't
believe the river will ever rise again, but it
does when the proper season comes, and then
they are apprehensye of an overflow-there
will not be q foot of dry land between the
foot hills of the Sierras and the coast range
Andif they geta little sick they don't think
they will ever get well again. To all such
croakers we cay discharge your duty faith-
fully to Yourself and family, to your neigh
bor your God, your neighbor and your coun
try, patronize all institutions (this paper in.
cluded) that have for their end the betterinr
of the condition of our glorious country and
our race, and whether or not YOUR many
other predictions be fulfilled, your conscience
will be at ease
1t does not necessarily follow that because
unsuccessful attempts to sustain paper in
olo county have heretofore been made that
this should also fail were this logical con-
clusion it might be a difficult matter to ac-
count for the successful achievement of some
OF the most noble as the most useful enter
prises that have blessed our race.
We cannot believe that the people of Yo
10 county are Indifferent as to the success of
a newspaper within her borders. The rapid
progress our citizens have made in convert
ing wilderness into farms, gardens and
vineyards. in erecting commOdious dwellings
for themselves and families, and in gathering
around them all those conveviences and ne
cessary appliances tn t go to make up a com
Portable home, too fully attest their public
sPirll to suppose for moment that if sce do
Our duty, and give them in news, useful in
formation and an advertising, medium, q fair
equivalent far their money, that they will

The MINES OF WEsTERS UTAm.-Since the
discovery of rich mines of gold upon the
eastern slope of the Sierra, it has been evil
dent that an excitement would follow, and
thousands of people would make their way
thither. If such would be the consequence
of the discoveries first made how intense
must be the excitement. and how vast must
be the migration following the reports oi
such fabulous wealth as is now found in that
region. The experience Of the past shows
us the eXcitable nature of our people, ready
to brave any danger, or penetrate any will
derness, if there is any hope of finding mines
of the precious metals We have seen them
going off by thousands to Gold Bluffs, Kern
and Frazer rivers, their hopes founded upon
exaggerated stories by interested parties,
and their places of destination so distant,
that it took months to ascertain the truth OF
the reports, while the expense of going and
returning were generally ruinous to the ad-
venturer. The recent discoveries present an
entirely new feature; they are in a country
contiguous to California, their wealth is
proven, and it is we'll known that numerous
ledges of quartz exist throughout the Utah
Basin. Since the announcement of the dis
coveries of gold and siver, copper has been
found in abundance, also cinnabar, coal, iron
DC. Undoubtedly many other valuable min
erals exist, which would require the geolo-
gist or mineralogist to point out. These
mines will, at some future time, be developed,
and their riches added to the wealth of the
world The effect of these discoveries upon
California will be to give new life to every
branch of business, and permanent and
rising value to its property. A new State
will probably soon be formed npon our bor-
der, whose entire supplies Of necessities, lux
uries, mining implements and machinery
must he taken from this State-PiacerViHe
