J.-imcs Walker was born near Knoxvllle , In
ast TcnntBsco , about the year 1833 , so that
ho was In his 2&th ycir when our civil
WAT began. He had a fair common school ,
education and learned the ttado of ma
chinist , at which ho was an export. When
2C years of age Walker was offered the
position of tnjnter mechanic In the railroad
hlacblnu shops In Allah'ta ' , Qa. Doing a
tingle man , ho accepted the offer , though ,
like aJl east Tonncsseeans , hl devotion to
the mountains of his native state was one
ot the strongest Impulses of his life.
Walker was a strong union man , as were
All his mountain kinsmen , but when Georgia
eecoded bo found It would bo dangerous to
express his views , BO bo kept thorn to him
self , resolving In the meantime to cscapo
to the north and Join the union forces at thu
first opportunity. The conscript laws weie
cajly. enforced In the south. Planters with
largo rstatefl , professional men and me
chanics , although forced Into the service ,
where they did not volunteer aa most of
them gallantly did were exempted , under
the Impression that their services would be
more valuable to the confederacy If they were
permitted 'to remain back at theli usual
Vocations. In this way Walker , although
sworn Into the service of the confederacy ,
was dualled to remain In charge of the
name shop.
KiJCAl'KO FROM ATLANTA.
The war bad been going on for eight
months when Walker , who had carefully
Kill ml chain mean on a prisoner of war
and an officer ? "
"That is Just It , " lie hastened to say. "I
nm not regarded a a federal soldier , as
they call our people. "
"How then do they regard you ? " I asked ,
though knowing much of his past t half
K tiered at the truth. In his Inblumlly quiet
way Walker wont on to explain his former
position In Atlanta , and how he had been
conscripted , and then detailed to work In the
rnllioad shops. After his escape to the
tin Ion lines he bad been ? et down ns a dc
sertrr , and as ho b d retained Ills own name
and had become a conspicuous figure In the
war , a reward was offered for his rapture.
Ten days before our meeting In the prison
pen Walker had been captured In a cavalry
fight ftl Campbell's station In Bast Ten
nessee. As soon ns he reached the depot In
Atlanta he was recognized. He was tried the
Monday before our meeting , which was on
Thuisday evening , and he was condemned to
be shot for desertion en Friday morning , now
about twelve hours off.
"Now the ball and chain Is explained , "
said the condemned man In conclusion , and
ho < | Ulctly proceeded to light his pipe. The
pen was fenced In by logs net on end In the
ground. On the outside and four feet lower
than the top of the stockade there was a
platform on which guards walked every ten
paces. Inside the stockade and fifteen feet
away there was a little ditch known as "the
dead line , " which prisoners could not cross
under pain of death. This line was Indicated
at night by rows of dim lamps. These lamps
were being lit while I talked with Walker.
The chances for escape were practically nil ,
and with that ball and chain attached any at
tempt meant death from the guards , yet I
could not help siylng :
A PLAN FOR ESCAPE.
"If > ou must die , Walker , go right up to
the dead line and fall under the rifles of
the Home Guards ; belter that than to be led
out and shot down like a dog. "
"I can slip the ball and chain off , " said
Walker , and he demonstrated that this could
be done by removing his boot and stocking ,
then he straightened out his long foot and
with a slight effort freed himself from the
ring.
"With the help of yourself and other
friends , " ho went on to say , "I believe I can
get over the storkide and mike my scape ,
though there Is a veteran brigade In camp
about the place. "
Near where we sat there was a stretcher ,
the body and handles of which were about

HAD SEIZED THE TOP.
prepared bis plans , escaped from Atlanta one
Saturday night , and before his flight was
discovered ho bad reached friends In the
Cumberland mountains. Within a month , (
for the man was a barn leader , Walker had
recruited mountainecis. and , without any ,
warrant , swore them Into the union service.
With these men , dressed In butternut and
armed with old-fashioned bunting rillcs ,
Walker traveled by night through the lines
of Klrby Smith and succeeded In reaching
the union forces under Nelson , in central i
Kentucky.
Walker received a captain's commission
and ho and his men were regularly mustered
Into Jhe service , but instead of being eon- '
eolldated into ono of the many east Tennessee
union regiments they remained a separate i
command , known at "Walker's Scouts. " He-1
cause of their great familiarity with the j
country over which the army of east Ten-1
ncssee and of the Cumberland were then |
operating Walker and his men were of the
greatest service ; and , It may be added , that' '
It 'would ' bo Impossible to ilnd In either army' '
f , a. hardier , handsomer or a more desperate' '
L body of mounted men. I
I first met Walker at Chattanooga , n few i
weeks before the effective battles of Lookout |
and Missionary Illdgo. He had come througi ,
the enemy's lines alone , with a message for
help from Hurnnldc , then starving in Knox-
vllie.
HIS PERSONALITY.
Walker stood about six feet two. His hair
and beard were light brown , and his were
the only gray eyes I ever saw the only eyes
of any color. Indeed that seemed to Hush
flro when bo bccimo earnest. Although his
voice was low and bis manner almost cffeml-
nato , tlio veriest tyro In ph > 6lognomy could
not be la Walker's company ten minutes
without feeling the magnetism nf his unflinch
ing cjurago and superb manhood. Walker
nnd I became decidedly chummy during tno
Eboit tlmo tie spent at Chattanooga. Three
weeks after hu had darted back to HurnsUlo
wo had bid stir big fights and in the ho' pur
suit gf IlragK t.iat followed I was captured ,
with some b'Uty men. All the union prisoners
were sent on to "the bull pen , " an unroifed
enclosure In Atlanta , from which point the
jf officers wuro forwarded to Llbby prison and
the enlisted men lu Hclle Isle , In the James
river.
It wns n cold , sleety evening In eirly December -
comber when wo were marched from the cars
nt Atlanta to the Hull Pen at the edge of the
town. The enclosure was more than ankle
deep In mud. In lets than the space of half
an acre 4,000 shivering men were packed.
About the center of the enclosure there were
< wo brick piles , romninta of the chlmnles of
a h'juso that had been burned down. As I
was stiff , my horse bavins fallen on me w'len
lie was shot , my comrades helped me to the
chlmnles. and made me a seat of sumo of
the bricks.
CHAINED TO A HUNDRED-POUND SHOT.
I sat down nnd bad just uttered a groan ,
caused by mental rather thin physical Mif-
formg , when my attention was attracted by
4hi ) clanking of a chain near by. Lcokln ; ;
quickly up I was surprised and shocked to
see the tall form of Captain Wnlker bending
over me. About bis right nnklo there was a
lioivy Iron ring , and fas'cncd to this a log
chain , at the other end of which was an Iron
ball that looked like , i 100-pound shot. This
ball Iho captain carried on his shoulder with
thu greatest ease , but ho dropped It beside
1110 and uvule a scat of it , when bo took my
baud In both of his and whispered as lie
wrung It :
"My cap , but I am glad to tee you bar. "
"Glad to sec mo hero. Walker ? " I re
peated ,
"That's what I said , old fellow. "
"Well , I don't think 1 hate any man so
much that I'd like tu eco him In this pen , "
an ! I waved my hands at the guards on tbo
high platform about the stockade , and the
Iior fellows trudging through the mud to
kco ; > warm , Hcndliis nearer and linking big
vo.co to the low. soft pitch that teemed go
out of keeping with his character , Walker
said :
"Uol ; knows I'm not glad to ECC you a
prezner , old fellow , and you know it , too.
Hut , as you s e , " here he shook the chain ,
"I am In o bad fix , and I'm hero waiting for
some man to chow up that I know lias the
interest lu me to BCO me through. "
"You can count on mo and my boys ,
\Valkcr , " 1 responded. "JJut jvliat duos this
ten feet In length. A belt fastened across
the ends would n .dko a step or resting place
fully eight feet from the ground if the
stretcher were set on end. Walker , as bis
been said , was a very tall man , and with
out interference ho could reacn the top cf
the stockade and drop to the other side.
Hut there were the lights on the dead line
and the watchful and rctlqiiltous guards.
Walker went on to say that the guards were
old men and bojs , Home Guards , and eciblly
demoralized.
"If , " lie continued , "yon could get a dozen
or S3 of our friends to load up with these
bricks , and at a given signal heave them
at tlin guards off there to the c st , the me1
from the south side would think the pris
oners were trying to break through there , and
they would run from their posts and leave
mo a clear track for long enough to get over.
At the woret , I can only be shot making a
break for liberty. Will you help ? " I gave
Walker my hand in proof of my willingness
but it was lie and not I who bpoke of the
danger to the other prisoners fiom the wlli :
firing of tbo guards. Great though the dan-
go. ' was every man with whom 1 fpokc about
the venture was willing to risk being shot In
order to help Walker.
ANXIOUS MOMENTS.
After 0 o'clock the guards called out the
half hours and the number of their pasta
When the man at post No. 10 announced 12
o'clock Walker was to rush with the stretcher
for the southern wall As the hour approached
preached the men xvlth the bricks crawled
us cloto to tiie deadline as was safe. The
night was very dailc , with a cold , driving
lain from the northeast. About five minutes
be.'oro tno signal , which was to come from
thu enemy , Walker crept to my side , claspei
mo In his arms and whispered :
"God bless you , old fellow ! Another hour
nnd I'll bo n free man or a dead one. "
In the indistinct light from the deadllna
I saw the tall form bending over the
stretcher. The minutes were cruelly long to
Walker's friends ; whit must they have been
ta him ? At length the cry began. "Twelve
i.'clock ; Post No. 1 , and all's well ! "
The men with the bricks sat there and
their breathing eamo hard.
"Twelve o'clock ; post No. 10 , and all's
well ! "
The last word had not died on the lips
of the guard when thirty men leaped fron
the ground and the fiii-IIUdo began I throw
ono brick In a wild way , then turned to
witch Walker.
THU USCAPE ,
With a rapidity that cannot bo describee
ho dashed over the deadline to tbo t > outh ,
from which , as ho saw , thu guards had lied.
In an 'Instant the s'retchcr was against the
stockudo and Walker had seized tbo top. I
saw his face for a moment , as with a mighty
bound ho swung himself over. There was
lining into tbo prison pen , and firing In the
camp outside , through wnlch thu fugitive'
lied. Then far off we heard a yell of triumph.
It waa Walker's btgnal to us that bo had
cleared thu camp. Although fully forty shots
were fired Into the prison pen a tllglit wound
to Captain S'lnger of the Thirty-third Ohio
was the only damage done.
Tno confederate olllclals made an examina
tion at once. They discovered that Walker
was gone , but they could not learn "who
heaved tbo bricks. " The last time I saw
Walker was in the parade of Sherman's men
In Washington ut thu close of the war.

MARYV1LLE. JIo. , Oct. 20. ( Special. )
The Poland-China hog has within the lest
'ew years come to be recognized as one of
the leaders of swine , and no organization In
: ho country has contributed more toward his
levclopment than the Standard Poland-China
'lecord association , whose headquarters nro
n Maryvllle. TfccrA arc 'only four Poland-
Jhlna associations In tbo country , the , three
jcsldo the one whose headquarters are here
aclng the American , with headquartirs at
West Liberty , la. ; the Central , with head
quarters at Indianapolis , 1ml. , and the Ohio ,
with headquarters at Dayton , O. Of these
the Standard IB the youngest and It Is second
end In size , the Central only having a larger
membership.
The Standard Poland-China Record asso
ciation was preceded In this section of the
country by the Northwest Missouri Poland-
China Breeders' association , which was or-
; anlzcd In February , 1884 , pursuant to a call
by W. P. Hnyzlett of Holckow , Mo. Of this
organization W. P. Hayzlett was elected
president and George L , Drennan of Mary
vllle. secretary and ex-olllclo treasurer. The
twelve men who first formed the organiza
tion wero. W. P. Hayzlutt of Holckow , E. F.
Carver of Gullford , I. V. LaTourette of Skld-
moro , D. D. Ilalllngcr of Hopkins , 11. F.
Gllmore of Gjynor City , S. Cummlngs. Dr.
John W. Dean , Frank LIllIows , William T.
Garrett , Ira K. Alderman , Lymau Parcber
and George L. Drennan.
The association had a successful career ,
Jut was not broadly enough conceived , and
in 1S85 , at the suggestion of one of the
association's members , and after consldcraule
discussion a committee "to Inquire- into and
leport on thu feasibility and practicability of
tfe&nlzlng a ni'w association" was appointed.
This committee's report was tucoivid and
accepted in February , 1SSO , and the standard
association , with 100 shares and including
members from Iowa , Kansas , Nebraska , Illi
nois and Indiana was organized. The llrst
oillcers wcic : President , D. F. Risk , Wcston ,

ganlzitlon was incorporated under the laws
of Missouri , und since then its growth has
been rapid. Now It has 480 members , in
eighteen states and territories Missouri ,
Iowa , Illinois , Kansis , New York , Nebraska ,
Texas , Cokradp. California , Oregon. Ken

Oklahoma , Arizona ami South Dakota.
OUJI3CT 01ASSOCIATION. ' .
The object and purpose for which the as
sociation was formed are said In the con
stitution to be "The establishment of an
Improved custom of recording and tracing
pure-bred Poland-China swine und the pub
lication of a recoid. " That its object and
purpcse have been attained is demonstrated
by the ieord which is ibsueil annually.
From a vo'umo of CG4 pages In 188G It grew
to one of 1.122 pages In 1S9G.
Meetings of the association are held an
nually in Maryvllle oa the first Wednesday
In February. They ore attended by mem
bers from all the states and territories rcp-
ici'jnted in Its membership and the annual
banquet , when hundreds of the bog men
meet around the festal board , is one of the
events of the year In northwest M'ssourl.
The members of the association are among
the wealthiest and most prominent citizens
of their respective localities , for to deal very
extensively In Poland-Chinas nowadays n
man must have considerable money and be
willing to take chances on heavy losses. The
fact that Maryvllle is the headquarters of the
Standard association draws many big sales
here , and to those not Interested in such
titock the prices Sometimes paid for a fine
boar or sow appears almost fabulous. Last
Wednesday , at the sale of Frank Dunning
of Bedford and W. A. Jones of Van Meter ,
la. , which was held in Maryviile ami which
wao attemlcl by many hoi ; fanciers from
Missouri , Iowa , Nebraska. Illinois , Indiana
and Kansas , one sow acid for ? 255 , a boar
for $2jO , another boar for $103. and another
for ? 175. George W. Null of Maryviile paid
$1,000 ! ! or his great hog , "Odessa Missouri ; "
Liggett & Judd of Strnberry $1,000 for "Iowa
Chief , " and for the great hog , "L30k-Me-
Over , " a syndicate composed of Liggett &
Judd of Stanborry , Lachner Brothers of Mary
vllle , J. West Jones of Lenox , la. , and a
fewotheivs , raid $3,000 last spring. The
animal waa bought , of course , for breeding
purposes , and bis pigs will , as they liavc
heretofore , bring big prices. There are-
dozens of hogs owned by members of tlio
association which are valued at from $500 to
$1COO.
To most people these prices appear very
laige. but the ho ? fanciers have a serene
confidence that the bottom will not "drop
out , " contrary to the expectations of out
siders.
The h g sales never fail to draw men
from all over the middle west and are events
of considerable Interest. They arc always
auction sales , and James W. Sparks or Mar
shall , Mo. , J. West Jones of Lenox , la. , and
F. M. Woods of Lincoln , Neb. , are the best
known swine auctioneers in this section.
The fine h'gs ore driven into the ring
one at a time and cried off like any other
article of merchandise. The greatest sales
are those which aie properly called the
"standard breeders' sales , " and which occur
every February at the annual meeting In
Maryvllle. Only members of the association
are eligible to enter stock In these sales ,
and some of the flncbt porkers of the world
have been dlsp sed of at them. At the
annual meeting of 1896 Klaas ? S. Son of Con
ception sold forty head of Poland-Chinas at
an average price per bead of $77.60. and at
the annual meeting of 1S'J7 fifty-four bead
were told by Lachuer Drothera at an average
price of $ C'J per head.
Tbo Standard Poland-China Record asso
ciation Is now only eleven years old while
the only rival organization which exceeds
It In membership In twenty-two years old.
Tbo younger organization is titlll enjoying a
steady growth , and Is every year extending
Itself Into slates before new to It. and
unless fomethlng happens to the Poland-
China hog market It will no doubt In a few
years become the greatest organization of its
kind In the world. Already It ) ia con
tributed very much toward developing the
Poland-China bog , ns much at least aa any
of Its rivals.

elation are Grant Hornaday. Ft. Scott , Kan. ,
