, of the dead man was identified as
that OF Will G. Martin. who was until
recently night watchman at the Gold
vile cotton mills.
The verdict of the inquest jury was
that the deceased was one Will G.
Martin, and that he came to his death
by causes unknown to the jury. Mar
TINS mother, Mrs. Matte Martin, who
now lives at the Clinton Cotton mills,
without seeing the body described ex-
actly the kind Of clothing worn by
her son when he left home. also that
he had flannel on his chest n coin
around his neck, and the watch that
he carried. A young man Brown
stated that he had met Martin some
six or seven weeks ago. as the latter
was making his way toward Clinton
from Goldville and had asked him
where he WAS going. receiving the
reply: &c! don't know" MIR. Brown
stated also that Martin showed him
some sun shells that he had i'm his
shot gun. with the rims cut with Il
knife; and that these tailed with
those found in the mans gun. A
brother of Martin identified the gun
positively, also the exact amount of
money he had when he left home.
1t seems that Martin was run away
from home for insulting his brothers
wife and was heavily armed, fearing
mob attack. or possibly anDrphnn
sion by the county officers. who had
been notified of his conduct.
Martin was thirty-eight years of
age; lie had been dead at least six
weeks when his body was found
yesterday.

fell in an avalanche and smothered
him; or, OF course it is possible that
he might have frozen. Coroner Hair

OFFICER WALKERS
FIDELITY TO DUTY.
HOnored With Token of
Esteem for Heroic Act.
ZERO FUND Is DIVIDED.
Mortgage on Mrs. Stones Cottage
Cancelled and Presented to Her
by the Committee.

At II o'clock Saturday morning in
the Mayors Office was enacted very
impressive and touching scene. 1t
was the occasion selected by the com
mittee in charge to present Private
w. Frank Walker Of the Laurens po-
lice force with token of the esteem
and affection for his fidelity to duty on
the night of January 2S. in the deadly
conflict when Private McDunic Stone
was shot to death by an unknown
yeggman, who was in turn killed by
Private Walker when the latter came
TO the rescue.
The committee in charge of the
funds, acting upon the suggestion of
Mr.. Jos. Norwood of Columbia. who
inaugurated the fund in the State,
purchased a handsome solid gold
watch and chain, with this inscription:
Presented to Private ". f. Walker
by the citizens OF South Carolina for
fidelity to duty, Laurens, S. c., Janu-
airy, 1909" In addition to the watch
and chain Mr.. Walker was given a
purse of $2l0.
In the Mayors office were gathered
number Of representative citizens
who had been notified of the event, the
nature Of which, however, was un-
known to Mr.. Walker. Dr.. H. *.
Aiken introduced Rev. w. Il. Thayer
of the First Baptist church, who made
the presentation speech in a most
pleasing and appropriate way. Mir.
Walker responded, expressing his
heartfelt thanks for the beautiful to-
ken and for the esteem for which it
stood. 1t was touching when Mr.
Walker referred to his friend Stone
1t is recalled that ON the night of the
tragedy Stone called to Walker, and
this morning Mr. Walker said that
while he was happy in receiving the
token of esteem given him by his fell
low citizens, ii was an occasion OF sad
ness for him. For, as he expressed
it, IL can hear my partner calling 20
me SO often"
For the benefit Of the people of the
State some figures are here given as
to the amount of the fund raised and
the disposition of it, The total
amount was 81 ,297.35, of which 1922
80 was expended in clearing the house
and lot belonging to Mrs. Stone of the
mortgage held by the building and
loan association. 1t may be stated
that it was just last summer that Mr.

Laurens county should give $4,000
to the fund for the erection of mon
ument in Columbia to the women of
the Confederacy: she should not stop
with less than that amount and if
possible ought to go beyond it. The
State Of South Carolina has respond

and it will i'll become the honor of
the county to fail to respond to this
call from the State.
Thus far $49.50 is the amount of
the contribution from Laurens county.
