accompanied by a negro servant,
started from his home to Reelfoot
Lake, where he proposed to spend a
few days in fishing and hunting.
While passing through Dyer county,
the wagon was halted by two white
men armed with shotguns. Mr.
Walker had placed loaded guns in
his wagon, but, with view of pre-
venting accidents, had left them un.
capped. This circumstance made his
firearms useless for sudden conjunc-
lures; but, instead of tamely surren-
dering, as he was expected to do, he
seized hammer, and, leaping out of
his wagon, attacked his enemies. AS
he did so, one Of them fired at him,
but missed him. In moment he had
knocked both of them down. lie
then tied them, with the assistance of
the negro, placed them in the wagon,
took them to Dyersburg, and lodged
them in jail
