A STRIKING ARGUNEST.-A difficulty
occurred at Virginia between John l..
Black, n well-known citizen, and John
c. Fall, also well-known, both in this
State and California, and lstterly con-
nectei with a mill out in the Humboldt
country. They were ut Mr.. Blacks
place of business on D street, in the
rear basement Of the building occupied
by the Pacific Union Express Co., and
the difficulty was about business mat
tiers. Tho version of the affair as re-
lated TO US is as follows: Mr.. Fall has
transacted considerable business with
Mr.. Black in times past and there was
n balance due from Mr.. Fall which was
about becoming %outlawed, and Mr..
Black was uader the impression that
Mr.. Fall did not intend doing the
square thing by him in the matter. He
produced letters which Mr.. Fall
had apparently written to him rela-
tive to the settlement Of this
account, but Fall denied having
written them, and even denied
his signature to them. Hence arose
hard words, eliminating in Black
Selling q mahogany stick which was
near By and striking Fall with it over
the head. He u his scalp badly, so
that the blood flowed pretty freely,
breaking the stick by the force OF his
blows. The Enterprise of this morning
was mistaken in stating that Il hammer
or a bar of iron was used i'll tho assault
BY Mr.. Black. We understand that Mr..
Black gave bonds in the sum Of $1,000
for his appearance before the next
Jury, Mr.. Fall was not so badly iu'
iured but that be was able to leave on
the stage for Reno this morning.
