ing to meet the officers of the road
in a conference on the matter.
The merchants declare that by op-
Grating this system of supplying their
employees they are working in direct
competition with their business and
it is said that some of the employees
OF the road use this system as a shield
at times. Some of the merchants COM
plain that some of the employees of
the road, negroes especially, after Sc
curing credit with them, then trade
with the grab car" to a certain
amount so as to reduce their check to
a point where it is immune from the

result OF FEUD
Quarrel Of Long Standing illuminated
in One Of the Principals Being Shot
In Hot Springs.
Sphciai 10 The News

Sphcial 10 The News
HOT SPRINGS, Ark, October l.
Another bloody chapter was written
in the MacDaniel-Walker feud here
Wednesday when Will MacDaniel
was shot and mortally wounded by
E. L. Walker as they met ON high
way near this city. This was the
third shooting between the principals
within six months. MacDaniel was re-
moved to a hospital, and an operation
performed, but attending physicians
have little hope for his recovery.
Six months ago MacDaniel was shot
in the hands and face with a double
barrel shotgun in the hands of E. l..
Walker, when the two men met alone
in the road half a mile from Mac
Daniels home. In the preliminary
hearing Walker admitted the shooting,
but stated MacDaniel was reaching
for Winchester rifle in the bed of
his wagon when he fired.
Last Monday morning when circuit
court had just been opened, and while
Judge Henry Evans was charging the
grand jury in general, and had reached
the part of the charge on assault with
intent to kill, MacDaniel fired one sho.
at Walker in the court room before the
crowd usually attending an opening
of court. Walker was but slightly
wounded.
This morning the case was to have
been called in circuit court and the
Walkers were en- route to the city to
attend court, and MacDaniel, riding
horse to the country to see about some
additional evidence, when they met.
Stories differ as to what took place
Walker and three relatives riding with
him in a carriage declaring that Mac
Danel opened fire as he approached
them, and that Walker in returning
the fire shot MacDaniel
Said He Was Unarmed.
To your representative at the in
Urinary, before the operation. Mac
Daniel made what he volunteered as
dying statement, to the effect that
he was unarmed this morning, and
that he had attempted to ride fast past
the Walkers to prevent being shot. He
states no word or action was passed
until he had gone beyond the Walker
carriage, When e. l.. Walker opened
fire at him. MacDaniel stated that he |
put spurs to his horse to get away |
fast, but the horse did not break into !
a gallop soon enough, and while |
Walker was firing he jumped from the
horse and started running a-foot. 1t |
was then, he states, that Walker shot
him the fatal shot, which entered in
the rear of the hip, and because of the
STOPPING attitude of MacDaniel while
running, ranged upwards, puncturing
the bladder and entering the kidneys.
Both men have many relatives and |
friends in Big Oak township. where
they reside, and feeling is rife over the
shooting. Many believe the shooting
was a natural sequel to the attempt
to kill Walker in open court, while
others insist that MacDaniel was muir
nered by Walker this morning while
and trying to get away from
trouble.

For most of the distance the road will parallel the highway, although on private right of way. so that 1t will be possible to make from thirty to for ty miles an hour. In the cities and villages. however. the line comes out on the highway for short distances.
