George Walker lived alone in a cabin on the Chamberlain farm, about six miles from the city up Perry creek. Yesterday morning he was found dead just outside the door of his hut. Near him lay a revolver with one chamber discharged, the bullet from which was in his brain. Walker was about 30 years of age and a sufferer from epilepsy, which had affected his mind. He was at the house of a neighbor on Sunday night to a late hour. The appearance of his bed indicated that he had retired after returning home. It is surmised that feeling a fit coming on, he arose and shot himself. His parents and other relatives reside in this city.
