W. G. Dunehoo
(From Rome News Paper) Sheriff W. G. Dunehoo and his deputy, Mr. Wash Smith are two of the best known and most popular men in Floyd County, and the shooting of Smith by Dunehoo in Rome Monday evening was a sensational and most unfortunate occurrence. Dunehoo was standing for re-election and the opposing ticket was composed of two of his deputies – Mr. J.R. Barron for Sheriff, with Smith as deputy. Smith sent out cards to the voters last week intimating that Donehoo had kept him busy out of the state and promising a sober administration if elected – the latter being taken by Dunehoo as a reflection on his personal habits.
