Two white men, Dr. R. L. Walker, aged 28 years, and Tally Brown, 35 years, both
men of families and two respectable citizens, got into a dispute Saturday
morning at Loyd's bridge in Rapides parish, about rent matters, as Dr. Walker
was renting from Tally Brown at the place of the killing, Brown was killed by
Dr. Walker.  R. L. Walker, accompanied by his son, Dr. Walker, went to
Alexandria at 8 o'clock Saturday.  Dr. Walker made a voluntary surrender and is
now in jail and claims that he killed Tally Brown in self defense, as Brown was
advancing on him.  The father told a correspondent that he could not tell
anything of the particulars.
