"MURDER ON THE AGENCY
RESERVED.
OLD MAN DO^V WALKER, SHOT AND
KILLED BY UNKNOWN PARTIES.
* THEY WANTED MONEY.
News was brought
here last Wednesday night
of the murder of old ! man Dow
Walker, a very highly respected
and well to do negro who runs
Mrs, M. B. Walker’s and her sis¬
ter’s Miss Bell Gibson’s planta¬
tion situated on the Indian Agen¬
cy Reserve, about eight miles
west of Roberta on Flint river.
Geo. James, one of Walker’s
hands, says, he was on the place
yesterday evening, and left Daw
Walker’s house about dusk. Dan
Litha and Ran Bell (remained at
Walker’s house. James said, as
he was going toward Lawson Biv
en’s house, he met a man in the
road who inquired where the
neaest grocery was and he (James)
answered him and said there was
none there. He was then asked
who lived there and if they want¬
ed to hire any hands, to which he
replied Dow Walker lived there
and wanted to hire a hand. The
man also asked if Walker was
good pay master and if he paid by
the week or month, and if he was
worth anything. James answer¬
ed yes. The man said be lived
in Charleston S. C. He (asked
James if he could spend the night
with him. James said he was go¬
ing to Fayetts. He said he would
go with him but when opposite a
barn on the place the murderer
stepped aside for something.
They went on and met Fayette, a
negro living in th« neighborhood
with a colored woman. Fayette
and James came on to Walker’s
honse and the stranger followed
to the gate. Stopping there, he
asked James to tell Walker to
come out, that he wanted to see
him. James passed around the
house and entered the stove ro„m
and went on into the front room
and told Walker some one want¬
ed to see him. Walker asked
who the man was, and where he
was from, after which Walker
went to the front gate to see him.
James went with him a nd found
two men at the gate who bade
them good evening and then drew
their guns and demanded Dow’s
money or his life. J ames started
back, but one of the men cursed
him and told him to halt. One
of the men stepped to the front
and the other to the rear of
Walker and James and ordered
the: to go into the house. They
..
room* the first man crossed
and fastened the rear door, and
said again to. Walker, your money
or your life. Ran Bell who was
seated by the fireplace arose, but
was ordered to sit down. Walk¬
er told the men he had no money
in the house, just then the man
in the front [door shot James in
the arm while attempting to shoot
Walker. Walker turned around
and was shot in .the knee and fell
to the floor. James ran otit the
back way and was shot at several
times. After Walker fell he was
shot in the head above the ear,
and according to Dr. Kinney, the
ball passed downward into the
regions of the heart and produced
his death. Ran Bell in escaping
was shot in the side, causing a
painful wound, but not thought a
very serious one. In passing a
neighboring house, after leaving
the scene of their devilish work,
one of the men shot at a colored
woman who was in the yard cut¬
ting wood, the bullet struck the
axe and did no harm.
Many coujectures are made as
to the cause of the killing. We
are of the opinion that it was sole¬
ly to rob. Because nothing was
taken is no evidence of .their not
to rob. It is very nat
after killing Walker and
the other men escaping, that the
murderers, would bacome fright¬
ened and leave. Some think the
murderers were white men black¬
ed and others are of opinion they
were simon pure slick black lardy
negroes.
