MURDER IN OXFORD- Willie Walker Kills Alex Stovall Tues day Night in a Drunken Brawl. There was a large crowd of negroes in town Monday and really seemed to enjoy the day, but as night come on some of them showed that they had taken on too much corn juice, and be come "rough and rowdy". Quite a number about' night congregated on Herndon street, just below Roysters Livery stables and commenced fight ing, among the number was W ill Wal ker, Gene Daniel and Alex Stovall. Several encounters took piace ' In which the aoove named men were the principals. Walker and Daniel both jumped on Alex Stovall, who was real drunk. Stoval' tried his best to get way from them and had walked some distance when Walker alias Ltttlejohn pulled out his gun and fired at Stovall but missed him. About . this time Gene Daniel said kill, kill him and Stovall turned round and received a ball in his breast. He reeled and fell on Wall street, and Walker and Daniel run and have not been apprehended. The wounded man was picked , up and taken to the mayor's office and re ceived medical attention. Some of his friends were with him during the night and when he came to himself said he did not know who shot him. He died about 7:30 Tuesday morning without a struggle and' relatives in Henderson were notified. Stovall had a reputation for getting into trouble when under the influence of liquor and in -meeting Will Walker he met a tough one as he. has been on the roads twice and it is charged against him that he killed a negro in Souht Carolina a few years ago. Coroner S. M. Wheeler summoned a jury and held an inquest, and ren dered a verdict that the said Alex Sto vail came to his death by a gun shot wound at the hands of either Will Walker alias Litlejohn or Gene Daniel. For the sake of law and order it is to be hoped that they will be captured and that justice will be meted out to tbem. Work of Presbytery.
