TROUBLE AT THOMSON.
An Account of the Difference with
Mr.. Watson.

Thomson, Ca, Nov. 5.-For some
time past Mr.. Thomas z. Watson has
been the object of bitter denunciation
by personal enemies in Thomson, es-
pecially the blind tiger element. Sat
urday night, Oct, 81, one of these enc
mics was violent in his abuse of Mr..
Watson, and expressed the hope that
the latter would hear of his utterances.
This abuse which was repeated at
several public places, was based upon
the assumption that Mr.. Watson was
pushing the prosecution of a certain
blind tiger leader.
On Monday morning, as Mr.. Watson
was on his way down town, these aou-
sive remarks were repeated to him by
a friend. Meeting the man who had
been cursing him, Mr.. Watson de-
manded to know what had been said.
The citizen practically admitted the
facts. Thereupon, Mr.. Watson, in
strong and unmeasured terms, de-
nounced him. with the further remark,
that if he wished a fight he could be
accommodated.
The person addressed walked towards
his office. Mr.. Watson followed him,
but when the citizen entered his office
Mr.. Watson stopped. That ended it..
No gun or pistol was drawn or shown.
Mr. Watson had nothing to do with
the prosecution of the blind tiger, ex-
cept that he Endorsed whoever did it.

10 cents, $55. With this it has set out
on the streets of the town TT shade
trees. The Court House Park has also
been hedged about with an evergreen
plant.
The exhibit is as rare and lovely a
collection Of flowers and plants this
section of the state has ever witnessed.
The collection of plants from Mex
leo by Mr.. B. w. Hunt deserves spe-
cial mention. In the group is a ba-
mana plant several feet high, with a
bunch of bananas hanging in the top
with the fruit ripe, and ripening. This
is something rarely seen in this part
of the country.
