ERNEST WALTERS IS RECOVERING

WAS INJURED IN THE EVANSVILLE RACE RIOT

Most of the Shot Removed but Will Carry Some Through Life-Is Out of Hospital

Ernest Walters, the grandson of Mrs. Fannie Gundert of 503 S. First street, who was severely injured in the race riot at Evansville. Ind., has been removed from the hospital to the home of his parents. The last shot to be received was taken from the back of his neck having entered through the lower part of his face. Most of the shot were removed but some he will carry through life. The young man was in no way connected with the riot. He was returning from his work and on hearing the noise went to the scene of action. He had just started to run when the shots were fired, but was felled by the first volley. He is altogether out of danger and will soon be out again.
