KANSAS JAYHAWKERS.

The Seventh Kansas, Colonel An
thongs old regiment, was known as the
kansas Jayha wkers." The story of the
friction between the commander OF the
Kansas Seventh and John \. Logan
having again come 10 the surface, Col
onel Anthony writes brief account of
the whole misunderstanding, which
seems 10 have been wholly due TO l-o-
gan's conservatism and Anthony's radi-
calism. which added to the free and
easy way of the Kansas soldiers great
" irritated Logan, but who in the end
was compelled to knock under. George
Martin. the editor of the Kansas City
Gazette, in commenting on the old story
and Anthony's version, says: The Sew
enth Kansas, Anthony's regiment, be-
lieved in foraging off the enemy. The
original idea of everybody else was TO
lay rebels for stuff taken The Sew
enth Kansas believed in turning mig
gers" loose, and never returned slave
Logan was conservative and Anthony
radical on the slavery question. Logan
ordered Anthony to move his camp fur
tber off, and threatened to use force If
he did not move. Anthony ordered the
Seventh to arms and sent word to LO-
gan that he would not move. 1t looked
as though there was to be fight, but
Logan backed down. The Seventh Kan
sas was greatly prosecuted by regular
army officers and Democratic volunteer
officers, who could not appreciate the
Kansas John Brown spirit. As result
of this, the Seventh Kansas had an
awful name. We remember when Ly
man Field. now a retired merchant OF
Solomon. came to Junction City. He
escaped through the lines from small
town in Alabama. The first story he
told us was about the Seventh Kansas
One night, toward morning an alarm
was sounded. the entire population got
out in their night dresses. and the gen.
eral wall and howl was, THE Kansas
Jayhawkers are coming. The Kansas
Jayhawkers are coming And they fin
ished the night in fear and trembling
SO it is literally true that away down in
the heart of the Confederacy. as early
as 1862, the Seventh Kansas spread

held services Thursday night in the
schoolhouse at Port Norfolk. The build
ing was full and much interest was
manifested. Rev. Mr.. Amiss asked
those present If It was their desire TO
have church built then. There was
a unanimous response. y building COM
mittee. consisting OF twenty persons, was
appointed TO solicit subscription, and a
neat little sum was subscribed al the
meeting. 1t is the intention Of the COM
mittec to build the church. which will
cost about $1,000, near the line between
Primers Point and Port Norfolk, so that
1t will be convenient for the residents
OF both places. They hope and expect to
have the building ready for service by
the time the summer sets in.
