April 27, 1867, Isaac Hamilton challenged Noah Alexander, both of Paris, with pistols at ten paces. They met on an island in the South Licking River at Townsend Bridge between the Bourbon and Harrison County lines. On the 5th round, Hanson’s hip was severely wounded. Said the local press: “They both shook hands afterward and laughed as if they had been to a corn-shucking or attending a circus.”
