Killing At Wheelerville

Calvin Taylor Shot Dead While Eating His Supper

	Information reached this city yesterday of the assassination of Calvin 
Taylor, an old and respected farmer, in the vicinity of 

Wheelerville, thirteen miles west of this city, at midnight Tuesday night.
	He had just returned from a hunt and was eating his supper when the 
report of a double barrel shotgun rang out in the stillness of the 

night air and Mr. Taylor fell dead, both loads entering his right side.
	The assassin escaped under cover of the darkness. There is a general 
opinion prevailing in the neighborhood that the assassination 

grew out of a criminal case soon to be tried in the city court wherein Mike 
Fincher is defendant on a charge of criminal assault, the daughter of 

Taylor being the complainant.
	Sheriff Holcombe left yesterday afternoon for the scene of the killing 
to make an investigation, and will not return until this morning.
