and Alverson, which took place near
the Bacon mill, on Tuesday night. AL
version was admitted to bail in the SUN
of $1,000, mot $4,000, as was stately
and last evening he went up to Virginia
city, and engaged Judge Pitzer and Mr..
Corson as counsel to defend him in his
examination, which was set for one
o'clock, this afternoon, before Justice
Boutou, at Silver City. Alverson stop
ped al our office and gave us his version
of the difficulty, which in justice to him
we will briefly state, as he claims that
u first account was rather one-sided,
and may tend to prejudice his defense.
Mr.. Wilson, the injured man, has been
boarding at Alverson's house, but left
il not very long ago On settlement,
there was u balance due Wilson OF three
dollars. This balance Wilson has de-
manded on several occasions-and on
the evening of the difficulty he went
and demanded the amount OF Mrs Al
version, aud used $50 Alverson says
very rough aud indecent language
making moi only threats of violence,
but also making improper o%vertures
to the woman Alversou being
absent at the time, was informed
of what TRANSFERRED, and becoming great
" iucensed, went and obtained a twenty
dollar gold piece, and then hunted VIII
son, whom he found neal the Bacon
mill, aud rendered him the twenty dollar
piece to take his three dollars out. Al
version says that instead of giving the
change, he put his hand inside oil MS
vest or coat, and was about drawing Il
long bowie-knife on him, when Aver
son struck him, knocked him own ana
beat him. He says furthermore, that
he went and offered to give himself up
to the Constable, who did not then take
him in charge, but subsequently arrest
ed him on "A warrant, and kept him until
Wednesday morning, when the Justice
admitted him to bail in the SUN oil one
thousand dollars, to appear for exami-
nation this afternoon. This, then, Is
Mr.. Alverson's statement of the matter;
and we give il, as he has stated the mat
ter-there being always two sides TO u
question. OF course the legal inyest'-
CATION will develope the true and Impair
tial facts relating to the entire difficulty.
Mr.. Wilson is quite seriously injured.
DR.. Bryarly says his upper jaw, just un-
der the nose, is broken, and the teeth
knocked out; and the lower jaw on the
right side is broken, and the teeth
Knocked out; besides the right side Of
the face near the eyei is terribly mashed.
DANGER IN UsrXG POPULAR SAVINGS
In wears gone by, II certain prominent
politician in this State-well, 1t was
Charley DeLong-we went to Humboldt
county to make a speech. He made II
familiar styled talk TO u small audience
in one of the Humboldt county towns,
in the course Of which he frequently
s,ates that such or such u proposition
was made bv his or the opposing party,
hint sit didn't suit Crooks And again
and again he mentioned that certain
suggestions might have been all very
well for their authors, but "they didn't
sni, Crooks" When he had used this
EXPRESSION twice or three times he no
,iced on its repetition that one or two
men would get up and go out win tue
tread of indignation. when the meet
ing was closed, several of his friends
asked him what made him make snen
references to .Kr. Crooks. "Nr. CrooEs!'
exclaimed belong, ''Mr. Crooks-what
Crooks" "why you kept mentioning
that lit didn't suit Crooks. And II
,ranspired that one "Mr. Crooks dwelt
in tina, locality, and was a leading Dem
ocra,. He was very angry at the allu-
s;ons named, and there were even sug-
gestions of n difficulty" about 1t. De-
Long at once sought the acquaintance
ofMr. Crooksand explained to him NOW
Il happened" etc. 0fcourse Mr.. Crooks
had 10 accept the explanation; but 1t
was evideutly not very pleasant news to
him 10 be informed that his name had
become a national byword. We believe
that Mr.. Crooks still resides in Hum
boldt county, and in one community IN
this State a very common saying IS not
used, out of respect to that straight
Democrat.
