at BatesYiile, Decatur County, on
Wednesday morning, under the folA
lowing circumstances He lived at
a small place called Andersonville
in Rush County, and on account of
his lawleSsness, was a terror to the
neighborhood. He was accustomed
to levy small sums by threatening to
burn barns or kill stock, and was
generally successful. A few days
ago he demanded five dollars of a
man named Walker, whose father is
a wealthy farmer, and threatened to
burn the old mans barn if the de-
>mand was not complied with.
Walker refused the sum, and on
Monday night the barn was fired
and completely destroyed, with two
mules, eleven horses and lot of ag-
ricultural implements, all of the
value of $1,000. LoWery disappear
ed, but the. Walkers-father and
son-prOcured warrant for his
arrest, tracked him to Batesville and
came upon him while he was eating
hrenkfast at a house there. Young
Walker slipped IN, drew pistol,
and fred, killing him instantly.
The body was removed to the depot,
and the>old man Walker left watch
over him, while the son went e

who is seVenty-seven years of age,
said he intended to take the corpse
back to Rush County, and that il
WAS a good deal easier TO carry him
that way than if alive. The affair
caused a good deal of of-rxeitement,
but everybody approved the action
of the Walkers, and no attempt had
been made to arrest them at last ad-
