ONE OF YEsfERDAY's SCENES.
An erroneous report was circulated
this morning that Mrs. Walkup said
yesterday afternoon to q crowd about
the residence just after the funeral:
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Mrs.
Walkup." Sheriff Wilhite tells Us that
after the brief funeral services yesterday
ct the church large throng came sud
denly pto the Walkup residence, filing
the yard, cgoWding the sidewalks and !!
climbing upon the porch and peering
into the windows. Members of the /
crowd made numerous remarks about
the widow and their desire and determ-
ination to see her. At the
same time foolish and insolent
threats were made aloud by parties as
serting what they would do if they could
get hold of Mrs. Walkup. The latter,
who was up stairs, was approached by
Sheriff White. who said he thought
that abe should come down stairs and
show herself to the people about and
that lne thought the annoying gathering
then promptly dispense. Mrs. Waikup
objected TO the plan, but said that if the
sheri # thought best she would go down
stairs. In company with the sheriff she
then went and stood for an instant on
the bottom step of the staircase, which is
some distance back of the hall entrance,
Whereupon the sheriff made the remark
errolaeously attributed to Mrs. Walkup.
The latter Immediately, without saying
q word, turned and assembled the stairs
to her room, and the crowd retired.
The episode, we think, was an unfor-
tuna be one, and conveys an entirely
error aeous impression of the people of
this city, and in no sense was the demon
stration witnessed representative. They
were SIMPLY disgraceful in any event,
and what the sheriff should have done
was to have summary bounced the Gu
riou and Intruding crowd. It is to be
grea fly regretted that Sheriff
Will hite did not have deputy or SO on
the ground at the time. We trust We
shal ] have no opportunity to chronicle
sim liar proceedings in this city.
