SERIOUS AFPRAY.-A difficulty occurred
yesterday evening, just below the toll-gate on
the Grass Valley Turnpike, between David
Hooper and an OK teamster named Johnson, in
which the latter was seriously, and it is sup
posed, fatally injured. Hooper was driving a
two-horse team, and it is alleged that Johnson
refused to give portion of the road, by which
Hooper's wagon was nearly upset. The latter
Jumped from his wagon and "pitched il" to
the teamstcr, and in the course of the scuffle.
Johnson was either knocked or fell between his
oxen's feet and the wagon wheels. The oxen
Immediately started up, rolling one Of the
wheels upon, and probably over, Johnson's
body. A large hole was cut in his abdomen,
from which his bowels protruded, but whether
It was done by the wheel, or the kick Of an OK,
is not certain. He was taken back to Grass
Valley, and little hope is entertained of his re-
covery We are informed that the injured man
resides on Bear river, and had load Of barley,
which he was bringiug up for some person in
New ada.
