Middle Ga. Argus – Week of August 3, 1893
Ira Taylor is lying in jail in a badly wounded condition.  On Friday Mr. Frank 
Greer, acting bailiff, was put in the possession of a warrant for the arrest of 
Taylor for stealing.  He summoned a posse and went to Taylor’s house and found 
him eating breakfast.  He demanded the negro’s surrender but instead he grabbed 
a gun showed fight equal to a western desperado, and Mr. Greer had to shoot him 
down before he was conquered.  He was shot through the body and through the 
face and is now lying in jail suffering from his wounds.
