Editor Morton's Shot In Quincy Feud Between Editors
From the Warsaw Express report the Quincy Whig editor John T. Morton was shot by Herald editor and postmaster Austin Brooks in Quincy Illinois after a dispute over newspaper delivery faults and a published insult. Morton, who had charged postal mismanagement, was struck in the back as he stood with companions near the Quincy House. He seized a chair for defense. Brooks fired, Morton threw the chair, and Brooks missed as others intervened. The episode stems from months of personal attacks and rebuttals in both papers.
