"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."
