Z. T. Pierce Killed, Shot To Death By His Brother-In-Law, Sanford Harris~

Sunday morning last Z. T. Pierce, better known as Taylor Pierce was shot by his brother-in-law, Sanford Harris, and died a few hours later. The shooting was the culmination of a family feud. Pierce's wife, who is the sister of Harris, had left her home and gone to her father's, taking their children with her. Sunday morning Pierce went to Harris' and took the child in his arms and started home with it. As he reached the gate young Harris shot him with a Winchester rifle, the ball severing the spinal cord. Coroner McAnally summoned a jury composed of F. G. Lambert, W. S. Davault, John M. Johnson, William Bailey, Neely Murphy and John Winchester, who returned a verdict in accordance with the facts given above. Sanford Harris, principal, and Robert Harris the father, and Mrs. Pierce, as accessories, are under arrest and having their preliminary trial as we go to press. Taylor Pierce, it will be remembered, three years ago shot and killed Henry Killian and now he has gone the same route. Page 4, col. 3
