Columbus Boy Is Accidentally Shot

Columbus, Dec. 27 –

Marion Cooper, age 14, son of M.C. Cooper, well known plumber of Columbus, was 
shot to death this afternoon about 3 o’clock by S.C. Massey, Jr., about the 
same age.  The accident occurred four miles from the city.

The boys were packing up lightwood knots for the purpose of starting a fire to 
make coffee.  The shotgun of the Massey boy fell to the ground and was 
discharged, the load taking effect in the head of the Cooper boy killing him 
instantly.

The mother of Marion Cooper is a former Taylor County lady, daughter of Col. 
Butler Brand, of Reynolds.  Friends throughout this section sincerely 
sympathize with the bereaved ones.
