A Different View Of the Matter.

From an explanation by Mr.. James B. Da-
wilson it appears that a great injustice was
done him in these columns by the report pub
lished yesterday of the cause of the assault
upon him By Mr.. Curry. According to his
statement the difficulty arose entirely out of
business differences, the little girl and the
kissing being pure romance. Mr.. D. alleges
that be has not seen Currys daughter for up
wards of two years, and would not know her
if he did see her. 1t appears that there are
two stories in this case, and the courts are to
decide which is the true one.
