The Sun.
London, England, 1861-11-07 00:00:00

On Tuesday morning the inhabitants of the
usually quiet rural village of Hawksworth, distant
about five miles from Otley, were thrown into a
state of the greatest possible consternation by a
report that William Smith, the head gamekeeper
to Timothy Horsfall, Esq., of Hawksworth Hall,
had been dangerously wounded by a notorious
poacher named tames Waller, living at Baildon.
Moor, which, on inquiry, turned out to be but too
true. It appeared that at 7 o'clock in the morning
of the day in question, the gamekeeper was out
watching, when hearing a gun fired, he went to-
wards the spot and saw Waller with a double-bar-
relled gun in his hand and walking away. The
keeper followed him, upon which Waller turned
round and fired, the shot striking him on the lower
part of the abdomen. The poor fellow exclaimed
" Oh, Jim !!' and Waller then fired the other barrel,
the contents hitting him near the same place. The
keeper fell, and some parties coming up directly
afterwards he was removed to a house near at hand.
Medical aid was promptly in attendance, but not-
withstanding their efforts he died about half-past
1 o'clock the same day, having previously stated
the above facts to Mr. Horsfall, his master, who is
a West Riding magistrate. Waller was at the
time of writing this report still at large. He is
believed to be in the neighbourhood of the scene of
the murder, and it is hoped will not long elude the
vigilance of Mr. Superintendent Smith and the
police, whe acre actively endeavouring to secure
him.
