Personal ENCOUNTERS.

On more than one occasion General
Walker has participated in serious per-
sonal encounters. The last of these,
while taking dispositions in his first Con-
gressional contest, at Bristol, on March
II, 1899, where he shot, but without fatal
effect, w. S. Hamilton, an attorney of
that city, and was himself shot through
the right shoulder by George c. Davis,
the stenographer, who was taking the
dispositions, resulting in the permanent
disabling of his right arm.
For the shooting of Hamilton he was
tried and acquitted, and Davis was, like
wise, acquitted, self-defense being the
grounds OF the defense interposed by
both.
In 1857, in Augusta county, he was mar
rfed to Miss Sarah Poage. From this
marriage there were six children, three
of whom, together with Mrs. Walker, are
now living, VIA. E. Walker, Esq, Of
