Col. Harris, owner of the Illinois mine at Kingston, who is in this city attending the Grey Eagle case before Master Posey, had a slight misunderstanding with a big miner named Marcus Fuller in which the colonel came out first best. Fuller approached the colonel at Kingston and told him that he was a good witness in the Grey Eagle case, and that he would come over and give in his evidence, but was broke. The colonel gave him $25, and after arriving here also gave him some more money. When Fuller was called as a witness his testi- mony was dead against the colonel’s side of the case, and after the court adjourned Fuller again asked for money. Some words passed, and Fuller called the colonel a liar. The colonel is getting pretty well along in years, but it didn’t take him long to knock the burly miner out, who jumped the first train and fled town.
