J. E. Walker Shot and Killed by Father
of Man He Convicted.


Alexandria, March 6-Judge
j. Emmett Walker, mayor of
Pineville, was shot and killed this
afternoon by William McManus,
Four shots were fired, two taking
effect, one entering under the
left arm and passing through the
heart, and one entering the Shout
der from the back, making only
a flesh wound.
The killing was the outcome of
a trial in which Robert McManus,
son of William McManus, was
fined by Judge Walker for shoot
ing into crowd of negro hay
riders some months ago. Robert
McManus appealed the case to
the district court. 1t came be-
fore the court this morning, and
Judge Blackman upheld Mayor
Walkers decision. This, it is
said, angered McManus' father.
C. N. Ross, an eyewitness,
says that he was standing in the
door of the Charles Turner store,
and that Walker went in the
postoffice and spoke few words
to him. In a few moments he
came back on the gallery of the
store, and Ross attention was at
tracted by a shot. Looking
around, he saw McManus stand
ing on the gallery with pistol
| in his hand. Walker jumped
from the gallery and threw his
hands up and begged for his life,
saying, Please don't murder
me-" He ran across the street,
closely followed by McManus,
who fired two or three more
shots. Walker fell on the side
walk in front of the gate to the
R. L. Ball residence, expiring
Immediately.
After Walker fell McManus
waived his pistol over his head
and said, Now, try another
white man with a negro jury"
McManus turned and went up
Main street to his home in the
edge of town. He was followed
by Oliver Schwartzenberg, form
er constable of the Pineville
Ward, and placed under arrest.
| Mayor Walker leaves an aged
mother, a wife, seven children,
one brother and four sisters to
mourn his untimely loss. His
children are Mrs. Max M. Levy,
of this city; Mrs. Sallie Mash
burn, Misses Pearl, Ruby, Carrie
Lucille, Odette and Robert Wal
ker, of Pineville. His brother is
Mr.. James H. Walker, of Pollock
and his sisters are Mrs. Lucy
Davis, of Decatur, Texas; Mrs

Grant Parish Fair is Assured
The Meeting at Dry Prong Gives the Fair Association
Boom that Makes Final and Complete Organiza-
ton an Assured Fact.

After dinner the crowd again
assembled in the church, and
were entertained about forty
minutes by Mr.. H. L. Brian in a
most instructive talk about i'm
proved farm methods. He be-
lieves in a parish fair as one of
the most practical ways to have
the farmers get together and
swap useful information. He
hoped to see the Association or
ganized at once, and he said that
his town of Verda stood ready to
take all the stock not taken. if by
so doing they could secure the 10
cation of the fair in that town.
The crowd began to break up
about A p. m, everybody seem
ingly well pleased with the sue
cess of the meeting, and especial
ly rejoiced in the assurances
that were given that the fair as
ISOLATION would be organized
without delay.
Messrs. H. L. Brian and c. L.
Purvis, of Verda, were in Colfax
on Wednesday, prepared to sub
scribe for all the stock needed te
make the Grant Parish Fair Asso-
citation a going concern. We un-
derstand the matter is now in
definite shape for permanent or.
ganization, and, acting on this
fact, Mr.. j. w. Duncan, chair
man of the committee on organi.
zation, has called a meeting in
the court house at Colfax at
p. m. on Saturday, March 18th,
of the stockholders, to decide a.
to a site for the fair and Other
details. This notice will be founC

On Saturday, March 4th, the
citizens of Grant parish interest
ed in the organization of the
Grant Parish Fair Association
gathered in a goodly number at
Dry Prong, and the outcome of
the meeting is that the final or
ganization of the Association is
assured.
In all, counting men, women
and children, something near five
hundred people were present,
and great interest was manifest
ed in the proposition. Colfax

scented by H. L. Brian and c. L.
Purvis, who were on hand with
authority and instructions to sub
scribe stock to the Fair Associa-
ton to the amount of a thousand
dollars or more, if by so doing
the location of the parish fair in
that town could be secured. The
Verda delegation made no secret
of their desires in the matter,
but were free and open in declar-
ing their intention of securing
the location of the fair at Verda

cal way, which were greatly ap-
preciated by all present, his talk
occupying most of the morning
hour.
Mr.. Mason Snowden, in charge
of the U. S. government demon
stration work, was then introduc.
ed. He made a very interesting
statement about the large amount
of demonstration work being done
in Louisiana, and gave some most
instructive information about i'm.
proved agricultural met tn DDS
He particularly felicitated thu
people of Grant parish on the or
ganization of a parish fair, as i
was one of the greatest helpers

The church building was to-
small to contain the crowd, ant

country abroad without finding more pic
turesque or richly verdant rolling country
than is embraced in the wonderful panorama
which spreads out at the feet of the sightseer
he gazes from the summit of Little Round Top
the commanding position of this whole great
battlefield
But for all it's natural beauty it is the sentiment
of its historic background that serves as the
magnet which draws great throng thither from
all sections of the country Memorial day
They come by train-although Gettysburg is not
the most accessible of historic spots; they
by carriage and wagon from wide radius of
the rich Pennsylvania farming region that sur
rounds the battlefield; and finally they come by
automobile, for, it is explained, Gettysburg
has become of late years most popular objective
with motor tourists who find in the great park
or reservation which now perpetuates the battle
field network of the finest roads in America
highways which it is a sheer delight to motor
over with thought Gf one could dismiss
the subject of the historic objects and localities
to be viewed by the wayside.
The Memorial day pilgrims who Journey to the
average Civil war battlefield or national GENE
terry for the annual strewing of flowers are one
day visitors who arrive after dawn and depart
before sunset But this is not wholly the case
at Gettysburg, although many heavy laden excur-
sion trains do arrive during the Memorial day
In addition to this throng, however, there is one
almost as numerous made up of persons who
spend from two days to a week at Gettysburg
and who have at the Memorial day session
because there is an added touch of realism to
the scenes at that time when veterans in blue
tramping the roads where countless
thousands of their fellows advanced and retreated
during the memorable days of battle. These
visitors overflow the hotels, of which Gettysburg
has an unusual number for so small town. and
occupy all the available rooms in the private
houses of the little city. The situation would
swamp the liverymen did the conditions of a
decade ago still prevail but happily the advent
of the automobile has helped matters in this re-
spect. Many of the visitors ride the battle
field in their own touring cars, whereas the cars
for hire relieve the strain upon the four-horse
and six-horse coaches which continue as of yore
the regulation mode of touring the battlefield
Incidentally it may be added that the introduc-
tion of the motor has greatly facilitated
things for the tourist who is desirous of seeing
Gettysburg battlefield in the limited time
for which Americans are famous in
their sightseeing Indeed by keeping
continually the road from morning
until night with only brief stop for lunch
motorst may obtain an excellent idea of Gettys-
