Show Before Commlssloaer Korrell. 't In Commissioner Norrell's court yesterday yes-terday the case of Andy Peterson vs. John Tiernan was heard. The plaintilT was employed by the defendant to drive a fifty foot tunnel in the El Dorado mining claim, and says that defendant was to give him $100 for the work and to grub-stake him during the time. If paying ore was taken out the proceeds were to cover cost of material and provisions, pro-visions, and the balance was to bo divided. According , to the evidence the ore proved to be of no value and plaintiff demanded the $103, minus $20 already drawn out. The defendant claimed that he bad purchased provisions pro-visions for Peterson, the cost of which was to be deducted from the entire amount, and that he had furnished money on Peterson's orders to other men who had assisted him in the work,, thus more than paying the amount of his claim. Defendant produced orders showing that the amount had been paid, but Poterson claimed the money due on account of other work. Tiurnan produced pro-duced a memorandum book claiming it to be a contemporaneous account.
