A little affair came Off on Main street
yesterday afternoon, between Attorney

for q short time, caused no little excite.
ment. We state the cause and sub.
stance of the difficulty in brief A para.
graph, which appeared in the Dahl
Bulletin some days since, in reference tC
the political discussion at Grand Junction
between Gen. w. j. Smith, ofHazdeman,
and Gen. Wm. Wallace, attorney general
Of Shelby, caused the latter gentleman "a
speak in not very complimentary terms
of that Journal in his remarks at the

passing along Main street, he was called
by Gen. Wallace, when some converse
ten took place in reference to the Sum
day morning article, Gen. Wallace ask
ing Nj. Philip If he was the author Of it.
He said he was. The general asked him
If he was prepared to rstIact or take it
back. He said, no sir, not a word.
Then Gen. Wallace made a blow at him
with his walking stick, which he warded
off with his left arm. Mr.. Philip drew
a pistol Wallace did the same F;
the pistol of the latter was discharged
without injury to his antagonist. The
pistol of the former missed fire in the in
