Glasgow (KY) Weekly Times, 1896.
"Killed. Walter Wilcoxsen and another negro named Smith Barlow became involved 
in a difficulty at Bearwallow a few days ago, as a result of which Barlow 
adjourned to a better land. The difficulty originated about a woman. The two 
men met at Bearwallow, and fierce words led to fiercer deeds. Barlow is said to 
have struck Wilcoxsen with a stick, whereupon the latter pulled his pop and 
turned to business end thereof loose in Barlow's direction. The latter was shot 
twice -- once in the breast and once in the abdomen. Barlow died the next day, 
and Wilcoxsen was put in jail at Munfordville. Wilcoxsen is said to be a pretty 
good negro, stands well with the whites, and has accumulated a little money. 
The general impresion appears that he is justifiable in what he did."
