Th dramatis persona ) wore the proprietoi and two vi.-itin iin'i\- l.nof ! the gree cloth known in sportiim circles as Hai ry Gordon and Charlie Davis. We wil not tire or disgust our readers with th details. The difficulty , it appears frou the testimony , arose over the refusa of Wilson to allow Davis "to play ii the game , " Sunday afternoon. Thi led to some words , but the matter wa quieted down for the time , Gordon am Davis , who were in liquor at thetime leaving the room. About nine o'clpck Sunday evening , Gordon and Davis re turned , broke into Wilson's apartments and finding him the sole occupant , pro ceeded , to use the slang phrase , "to d ( him up , " using knife and revolver it the execution. How well they succeed ed , Mr. Wilson's physiognomy attests The commotion attracted quite a crowc and in the consequent excitement , Da vis made good his escape , Gordon be ing taken into custody. He came u ] for trial , Monday , before Squire Ben nett , who dismissed the case. The gambler was re-arrested and brough before Squire Wiley. County Judge Baxter was summoned by telegram , the case before Squire Wiley was dismissed and the action brought before the Coun ty Judge.

His victories have never received the credit ustly due them on account of the apparent a > e with which they were gained. The stu- lent of military history will rarely met with ccounts of battles in any age where the ac- ual operations coincide exactly with the inters issued upon the eve of conflict as in he official reports of the wonderfully ener- ; etic and successful campaign in which Gen- ral Scott with a handful of men renewed the iiemory of the conquest of Cortes , in his riumphant march from Yera Cruz to the apital. The plan of the battle of Cerro Jordo was so fully carried out in action that lie official report is hardly more than the eneral orders translated from the future enbe to the past. The story of Chapultepec as the same element of the marvelous in it. "he general commands apparent impossibili- ias in the closest detail on one day , and the ext day reports that they have been accom- 'lished. ' These successes were not cheaply ttained. The Mexicans , though deficient in cience and in military intelligence , fought , -ith bravery and sometimes with despcrr.- ioii. The enormous percentage of Io s in is army proves that Scott engaged in no ght work.
