about half dollar Sunday. The money
belonged to the wife and she wanted it.
During the melee, Jack Jones, an aged
negro man, interfered in behalf of the
rights of Walkers wife. This incensed
Walker, who is a young strapping fell
low, and he grabbed an iron poker and
made for Jones, striking at his head.
Jones threw up his left arm to ward off
the blow, and received the lick on the
elbow, making deep cash and sever
ing an artery, he also received small
cash on the head. The wound on the
arm bled profusely and it was necessary
to find doctor. Jones was carried to
DR.. Kemp's office, in the Elmwood
building. He was told that it would
be necessary to use thesurgeon's needle.
The old negro said he could stand the
operation without chloroform. He
braced himself, and when DIR. Kemp in.
serted the needle the old negro hollered
like Oomanche Indian. He cried out !:
so, Lord, come down into dis room and
help dis poor old niger" He contin-
ued to vociferate until the wound was
stitched, great drops of perspiration
rolling down his face as if bucket of
water had been poured upon it. When
the job was through he exclaimed, "Dis
am de hottest room l ever seed" The
sheriff pursued Walker to arrest him,
but he ran like deer and escaped.
