A DESPERATE GANG.
Sheriff Killed and Citizens Seriously
Wounded in Georgia.

Concord. Ga, April 2.--The sheriff of
Pike county lies dead from bullet shot
INTO his body by one of gang of noto-
rlous desperadOes and one of the most
prominent citizens of this town has re-
~elved what is believed to be a mortal
wound from the same source. The house
In which the desperadoes are entrenched
Is surrounded by sheriff's posse and
other citizens, who. declare their inten-
tion of burning it down before morning.
Taylor Delk is the leader of the gang.
He stands charged with n number of
crimes and others of his family have
more charges against them. The grand
Jury has returned bill charging one of
the Delk brothers with penitentiary
offense, and today Sheriff Gwynn. with
posse came to the Delk home near
here after their men. AS the sheriff
stepped up to the door he was fired upon
by somebody inside and fell to the porch
MORALLY wounded. He begged for some
OF his posse to get him and John f. Mad
den, prominent merchant, who was
one of the posse, went after the wounded
man. AS he drew near, another bullet
from the rifle inside the house went
crashing through both thighs and break
ing both legs. This greatly infatuated
the crowd outside and fully so shots
were exchanged.
The house is surrounded tonight and
the people on the outside declare their
intention to burn it down over the heads
of Delk and his gang if they do not sur
render. If they do, it looks as if they
would be lynched.
=. For some time after nightfall all has
been still inside the house and the be-
seiging party is doubtful whether the
Delks are still inside or have escaped.

HOW TO SLEEP BEST.
Should the Head be Turned North,
South. East or West.

The proper position of beds with regard
to tht point of the compassionate is,
whether we should lie north and south,
parallel to the earth's axis, or east and
west, across it's the puzzling problem
propounded by Sir Benjamin Richardson
in an English publication. If the head
is turned west there is tendency, it is
said, to send the blood rushing to that or
gan. If the head is east the feet are af-
fected in similar way.
Sir Benjamin thinks that eff we should
lie in the line of the axis due north and
south it would be most probable that the
rotation of the earth would produce no
special effect on the blood in its course
to or from the head" AS for himself, he
has tried all positions and sleeps best
when his head is turned towards the
United States. The only objection he has
to it is that the sun wakes him ND a little
earlier than he likes.

left his work, mounted his horse and

fired back and the man fell dead. 1t was
then discovered that the man who was
killed was a deputy marshal. Howell
and three others of the posse were in
dicted for murder. 1t was claimed that

not sworn in as deputy marshals. How
ell was convicted in 10 United States

tered demurrer on the ground that the

the United States court. They we're set
at liberty after Howell had already begun
