14 inches wide and more than

ACCIDENTAL KILLING
NEAR WALNUT GROVE
(Continued from page 1)
on Mr. Walden and give him a
bad scare, as he knew that Mr.
Walden was of a nervous dis
position.
Walden is a successful farm
er and stock dealer and it is
thought by some that he kept
considerable money about the
house. It is said that unsuccess
ful attempts have been made
at different time to break into
his house.
Walden and his small son
being alone Saturday night,and
Curtis having said that he
would not return until Sunday
morning, Walden was some
what frighteed when he heard
some one run rapidly up to the
porch and walk into the hall.
Seizing his shotgun he asked
who it was. Receiving no ans
wer, he again demanded to
know who it was and whatthey
wanted. As the footsteps ap
proached the door of his room,
Walden repeated his' demand
a third time and warned the
supposed intruder not to come
in. Still receiving no reply, he
leveled his gun and fired
through the door.
The full load of shot entered
the left breast of young Curtis,
who, it is presumed, was just
in the act of taking hold of the
door knob when the shot was
fired.
“Lord God, George, you’vt
shot me,” cried Curtis. Mr.
Walden at once recognized the
voice and opened the door to
find Curtis lying upon the
floor mortally wounded.
He telephoned for Dr. V. I).
McAdams at Cord and phoned
Sid McDoniel and Harold
Churchill telling them to come
over, that he had shot Curtis.
Curtis never spoke again,
and was dead when the doctor
arrived.
Coroner Jesse L. Crosser was
notified and went out Sunday
morning and held an inquest.
The coroner’s jury who inves
tigated the case was composed
of the following citizens: W
L. Hall. J. W. Elmore, J. C. Ed
wards, J. J. Pridmore, G. C
Rider, ,J. E. Gunter, G. W
Bradley L. H. Edwards, L. A
Brittian, L. P. Bradley, J. L
Haddock and W. B. Baker.
Evidence brought out at th(
inquest showed that Mr. Wal
den and young Curtis had al
ways gotten along togethei
splendidly, thought a great
deal of each other and had
never had any trouble of anj
kind.
The jury returned a verdict
'xonerating Mr. Walden.
The sad tragedy is deeply
deplored by all. and Mr. Wal
len is deeply affected by the
mfortunate accident.
Curtis’ father lives at Char
lotte and the remains were
aken to that place for burial
Sunday afternoon.
