The following from the Reno
Journal gives the governors yer,
sion of the affair:
Governor ID. s. Dickerson step
ped into the Office of Carson News
tonight and after an alteration
arising from the publication of a
~defamatory story in the form of a
special dispatch to Reno, slapped
the face of Editor George a. Mont
rose. Further hostilities were
prevented by spectators of the
incident. Governor Dickerson
later explained the act by stating
that while he was content to rest
under abuse for his official and
administrative acts, he would hold
all men personally responsible to
him for any attack on his honesty
and integrity as a man.
The incident, which occurred
shortly after s o'clock and which
consumed very few moments, was
sooL noised about town with
accompanying eXaggeration and
created a mild sensation in its dis
torted form.
Shortly after s o'clock Governor
Dickerson, who had read the attack
or him in a Reno paper published
as a special dispatch from Carson,
started ont to investigate the
authorship. The article charged
that there was graft in the selec-
ton of the site for the prison and
indicted Governor Dickerson as
the prime mover in the affair.
Governor Dickerson, from GER
tain vagaries of style in the
article, suspected Editor Montrose
Of writing the story. He entered
the editors Office in company with
his secretary. James d. Finch, and
Immediately accosted Montrose.
Il want to know whether you
wrote that article about the prison
that was published yesterday"
said the governor.
Montrose denied the impeach-
men'.
We'll, that's all | want to know"
replied the governor. turning to go.
"lf did write the article" con-
tinued Montrose, 81 wouldn't be
afraid to admit it. 1t seems to me
you are looking for trouble"
The governor retorted: "If you
are the man who wrote that article
am looking for trouble"
Montrose replied: "Ify you think
you a start anything around here
you'd better begin right away"
Suiting the action to the word
the executive stepped up and struck
Montrose a singing blow on the
face with his open hand and they
clinched.
Spectators stepped in and
separated the combatants and the
governor left, after warning Mon.
trose to be careful about making
personal attacks on his character.
Governor Dickerson, after con
firming in substance the story of
the incident, said last night:
IL realize that a man in an official
and administrative position must
expect to be bitterly assailed for
his official acts, especially at time
of an election, but | will rot allow
any man to attack me in my private
character or to assail my honesty
or integrity as a man. | intend to
hold any who attempt such practices
personally accountable TO myself"
