Family Feud Ends In Fatal Quarrel
In Summerville Georgia November 5 0 Spe eta Will Anderson shot and killed Rob Floyd at Shackelton a small industrial town in the county at about 8 o clock this morning. Both are white men born and raised in the county well known and connected with leading families. Anderson surrendered to Sheriff Wimyose after the rallies at his home and will demand a prompt preliminary trial. The killing stems from family quarrels between neighbors. Friction between the widows and children of both men led to Anderson planning a peace warrant for Mrs Floyd. Floyd allegedly warned he would kill Anderson if such a warrant was issued. Floyd approached with a knife and Anderson fired one shot from his pocket pistol hitting Floyd in a vital spot. Floyd died on Andersons doorstep and was later carried away by relatives.
