WilliamII. Hooke, of the late firm of^Aino^. Phinney ^ Co., ot San Francisco, :^has filed his petition in bankruptcy. Pe- i^titiooer is indebted upwards of ^300, |^000, $100,000 of which is due in San I^Francisco for money borrowed,and near- j^ly $200,000 is doe and owing tor labor j^and supplies furnished to the mill of^Amos, Phinney ^ Co., at Port Ludlow.^Be has assets valued at $55,001, consist- |^in^r of, land, ^17.000; lumber, etc.. $25,-^140; and book accounts, $14,814. Albert j^White and John H. llobard, of San I^Francisco have also Sled their ]p3tition^in bankruptcy. They owe as copartners^the sum of $55,000, due in San Francisco |^and the State of Nevada.

Themwas a bloodless duel in Doni - i^phan county, Kansas, a few days ago, ;^that afforded much amusement to the |^residents. It appears that a Frenchman ,^offered an insult to a prominent resident I^oi Bellmont. The latter gentleman^promptly challenged the Frenchman,^who as promptly accepted the same.^The pistMB, however, w^^re loaded by tho^s.omds with blank cartridges The^Frenchman ML and a bloody handkerr^chief. close at hand, was promptly wrap^^ed arour,d his prostrate form. The gen^^tleman from Bellmont, confident that he^had mortally wounded his antagonist,^took to his heels to avoid arrest, and has^not been seen since.
TheBoise City World (Idaho) says^that they learn from a private letter re^^ceived from Fort Boise, written by the^commanding officer, that Mr. Hicks, the^Indian scout of the fort, had quite a^sharp fight with a band of Snake river^Indians, near the Owyhee river. With^his band often Boise Indians, Mr. Hicks^killed four and captured twenty bucks,^and squaws and children. The World^says Hicks is the able scout sent out on^service against the hostile Indians by^Col. Sinclair, and has, on two or three^previous occasions recently, distinguish^iil himself in successful exploits against,^the predatory savages.
TheHerald thinks Colorado ought to^publish a history of the resources of^Colorado, for gratuitous distribution^among foreigners, in order to attract the^attention of immigrants to that Terri^^tory. A good idea. The money to be^paid tor the Colorado militia will help^the Territory some, and the Register^thinks they ought to besatified with the^amount which has been allowed.
TheDenver Tribune says: At an ad^^journed meeting of the R. M. R. R. ^^Telegraph Co., held at the Planter's^House, Denver, Jan. 20, the following^officers were elected: A. 8. Langford,^President: J W. Watson, Vice President;^H. t\ Waterman. Secretary: Jos. A-^Thacher, Treasurer; A. N. Bogers, Chief^Engineer: A. C. Lessig. Consulting En^^gineer. Measures were taken for im^^mediate survey ot the route, and the^meeting adjourned.
Thesilver excitement, says the Den^^ver 2ft SM, Is on the increase in the Boul^^der valley. Every other stove in town^has a piece otore on it going through the j^roosting process. The \ttr* says: We'll^venture the assertion that if any person ]^^will take a piece of brick and start up^Pearl street with it, that in less than^five minutes, a dozen men will pronounce^it silver bearing ore- Such is infatuation.
Adispatch dated Grass Valley, Cal..^February 3, says: A difficulty occurred^over a game of cards, last night at the^Forest House, on Halt creek, about seven^miles from this town, between Thomas^Alcorn and Dick Ilanna. Soon after.the^parties met at a neighbor's house, when^ilanna shot Alcorn with a shotgun, kill^^ing him instantly. Officers left here this^morning to arrest Ilanna.
TheVirginia.Nevada. Enterprise says:^Yesterday'morning a woman ot thetown,^known as '*Ida Vernon,^ or ^ English^Ida,' was found dead in her bed at a^house ot ill fame on ii street, called the^^Bow Windows.^ It is supposed^her death was caused.!^chloroform.
Twoconvicts, named respectively Jno^McOinnis and Samuel Call, escaped from^the Kansas penitentiary a few days ago,^after burrowing for three hundred yards^under the ground. They had doubtless^beeu working for months at their enter^^prise- They made a complete cave lrom^the inside ot their cell to the outside^of the prison yard. When caught they^resembled ground hog* who had delved^for a long age in. the soft layed mud.
