and Brownlow became involved In q
war Of words. BrOwnlow. having ex-
hausted his store Of abuse and Wifi
cation. went in quest Of his enemy with
his pistol In his right hand and his
cane In his left. Meeting Haynes ON
the street, he asked him If he was
armed. repeating the question three
times. Receiving a negative reply. he
shifted his pistol TO his left hand and
proceeded to attack Haynes with his
cane. The latter then drew a pistol
and shot Brownlow in the leg. severely

Though a pro-slavery man. when the
war came Brownlow was a strong
friend and adhercnt of the Union cause.
1t was at this period that his loyalty.
patriotism and courage shone brightly
amid the conflict Of opinion.
To express an opinion on either side
cost many a man his life. The Union
cause owed to Brownlow. Ian To
any other man. the fact that East Ten.
neSSee sent 10 the Federal army over
10000 volunteers. a larger per cent. of
her male population than was furnished
10y any Northern State.
Even after martial law had been pro
claimed. and the city Of Knoxville was
occupied by the rebel troops. the Knox
Vile Wing continued to denounce the
Confederate authorities. until the press
was destroyed. and the editor forced to
fly for his life. Up 10 this time a nj.
tional flag had been kept floating over
his residence. A detachment Of Con
federate troops was sent to take II
down. tUt they were met at the door by
Brownlow's married daughter. Mrs.
Boynton. who. initiating the spirit AMI

that she would shoot the first nan who

and gallantry. they Withdrew without
