looRREsroxDRScE OF THE ArpEAL.I

STEVENSON, July Z. = On yesterday
afternoon a difficulty occurred between
Prot 4. j. kiDgcannon, of the Missis-
sippi Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege, aud drunken rough, on board the
Memphis and Charleston train, near De-
catur. KingcannOn was sitting quietly
reading paper when he was aecosted by
the man as Jones" Kingcannon in
formed the rough that he was mistaken,
as his name was not Jones, whereupon
Kingcannon was denounced as liar,
having the paper snatched from his
hand. KingcannOn struck the offender
a telling blow in the face, and in turn
received Il severe stroke upon the head.
Kingcannon picked up heavy walking
cane which he had and knocked his as
sailaut to the floor. A scuffie ensued in
which both men sustained injuries about
the face ald head, but Kingcannon
finally extricated himself from his an
tagonist's grasp and again knocked him
down, beating him severely with the
cane aud stamping him in the face with
his feet. The brakeman and passenger
separated the belligerents and forced the
rough into the smoker, where he bled
profusely, and evidently suffered greatly
from his injuries. The rough swore he
would kill the man, whom he verify be-
lieved to be Jones. Some alarm was felt
by the passengers, as the rough was un-
ruly, but after reaching Decatur he be-
came quiet, as he saw Kingcannon walk
rapidly to drug store near by, where, it
is supposed, he bought a pistol. King
cannon is evidently man of great cour-
age, but impressed everyone about him
by his quiet, gentlemanly dignity, that he
is highly cultivated and refined

by efforts ON his part to trace the story
to some authentic source, at various
times, between October, 1879, and the
present time, to corroborate his denial.
