We find the following. in letter to
the Kansas City Journal, dated Well
ington, Kansas, April 4:
A ripple of excitement passed over
our usually quiet village on Sunday
last, caused by an encounter between
the Hon. Billy Hackney, late represent
alive of the kingdom of Cowley in the
Kansas legislature, and the editor of
the Sumner County Press. Hackney, it
will be remembered, was the champion
of ignorance in the late legislature,
and led the onslaught upon the educa-
tional interests of the State. The Pea
body Gazette published an editorial
| upon that subject, in which Hackney
| was spoken of in terms the reverse of
complimentary. This editorial was
copied by several of the papers in this
part of the State, and among others,
by the Press, of this city. On Sunday
morning Hackney met Captain John
II. Folks. editor of the Press, on the
Fstreet, and 'struck him several blows in
the face. The captain was taken so
entirely by the cOwardly assault that
be was unable to defend himself,
and was somewhat badly punished.
Hackney notified him (Folks) that
they both couldn't live in the same
country, and that if he published any
thing moIe about him Hackney,
there would be bloodshed. The Press
of this week, am informed, will con-
tain an account of the affair, and will
| republish the obnoxious article, anG
