END OF A TRAGEDY.
Reviving the Memory of the Arroyo Grande Lynching.
REDWOOD CITY, November 13.—Mrs. Eugene Walker died this morning at Woodside, near this town, at the home of her brother in law, Thomas Shine. The death of Mrs. Walker is the final ending of the awful tragedy which took place in Arroyo Grande, San Luis Obispo county, last March, the details of which are still fresh in the minds of the people. Young Eugene Walker was shot down at his doorstep by the Hemmis, neighboring farmers, and his wife severely wounded. On seeing her husband dead Mrs. Walker, mangled, and bleeding, with her child in her arms, dragged herself to the nearest residence, a mile away. The murderers were afterward lynched. Mrs. Walker and the dead body of her husband were brought to this town, their old home, where the heroine of that awful experience lingered in great pain till her death. She will be buried to-morrow.
