Walker, Wallace Stephen ---------38, of Peoa, was accidently killed late Friday night as he stooped over to fix a tent pole when his pistol dropped out of the holster, struck on a rock and discharged, and shot him through the heart. Mr. Walker, a sheepherder, the father of five children, was employed by William Young. They went into the mountains eight miles northeast of Rockport Friday night to move camp and were pitching a “scarecrow tent” when the accident occurred. Walker had his cartridge belt slung over his right shoulder and under his left arm. In the holster was an old style 44-caliber revolver.  It fell out twice and the second time Young warned him to leave it on the ground, but Walker said it would be all right. The next time he bent over Young was leaning above and directly over him, bracing a pole when the pistol fell out, struck on a rock and shot him dead.  Had the gun been a later, more powerful model, it would have penetrated his body and struck Young, officers said. Walker was born in Peoa, the son of Stephen and Sarah Maxwell Walker. His widow, Olive Wright Walker, his mother, a brother, Chas.  L. Walker of Salt Lake, and Ralph and James Walker, brothers, of Caldwell, Idaho, and the following children, all of Peoa, survive: Leola, Bud, Reed, Wilda and Levan. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon in the Peoa ward chapel with Bishop H. A. Jorgensen presiding. The singers were Theron Maxwell, Les Millener, Mr. and Mrs.  Benjamin Miles. The speakers were Alonzo J. Marchant, Frank W. Marchant and H. A. Jorgensen. Interment was made in the Peoa cemetery A. S. Merchant dedicated the grave.  Morgan County News September 25, 1930
