Georgia Enterprise
  Taylor Delk, father of two notorious outlaws, shot and killed Sheriff
W. O. Gwynn, of Pike County, last Thursday night. The Sheriff took a number
of deputies to arrest Delk on a true bill for robbery and assault, and was
shot down on Delk's porch, without a moment's warning. Hon. John F. Madden
attempted to rescue the dying man and was shot and both legs were broken.
Delk and his two assistants then escaped from the rear of the house. Sheriff
Gwynn was in Covington not long since and has many friends in this section who
will be pained to hear of his tragic death, which was nothing less than
assassination.
