FoRGERY.-Another case of forgery was
brought to the notice of the authorities
yesterday, resulting in the arrest and in
generation of the party implicated. The
accused is very respectfully connected in
San Francisco and Salt Lake, and to
spare the feelings Of his relations we for
bear mentioning his name at present. 1t
seems that some time since he drew an
order on citizen in this city, and by
forging an acceptance, got it cashed.
When the order was presented it was hon.
ored, Notwithstanding its spurious nature;
but the gentleman who was thus mulcted
took occasion to acquaint the young man
with the criminalty of his conduct, and
urged him to pursue different course in
future. 1t appears, however, that he

veloped. Another forged note for $50
was also sold or hypothetical by the
accused in this case. He was arrested at
Bullionville yesterday. brought to town
and lodged in Jail.
HIKo IrEMs.-From Nm. NJ. Wilson,
Justice of the Peace of Hike township,
in this county, we learn such items of
interest as have transpired in that locality
since our last mention. The agricultural
interests in that portion of the county
are receiving greater attention than ever
heretofore. Large crops of barley and
other grains will be harvested, and we
understand that Phoebe buyers are al
ready among the Hike farmers negotiating
for their crops. The sickle, the scythe,
or if the Utah farmers on the Muddy are
sufficiently advanced, the modern reaper,
will speedily convert the growing crops
into the circulating medium. An ARRAY
took place recently between James Ben
nett and W.. S. Ferguson. The supposed
cause of the difficulty was the withdrawal
of the water from Benefits irrigating
ditch by Ferguson. The parties finally
met at Ferguson's ranch, and high words
passed between them, the purport of
which is unknown. Upon the arrival OF
other parties, Bennett was found to have
received five knife wounds. Ferguson
was arr sted, and upon an examination
before Justice Wilson, was committed to
await the action Of the Grand Jury
SHOOTING AFFAIR.-About IL O'Clock

charged in rapid succession, were heard
on Meadow Valley street, and immed
lately there was a stampede of policemen
for the scene of the conflict, followed by
such Of the populace as happened to be
up at that hour. The difficulty occurred
in house of ill-fame, between Ned Shunl
and woman named Georgiana Syphers
an inmate of the house. Itappears, from
what cause we are not aware, that Shunl
first assaulted the woman, who drew
pistol and fired four shots at him, onl,
one of which, however, took effect, in
flicting severe, though not dangerous
