Mr. John Stearns, who was the surveyor of Pulaski County, was shot and killed by his sixteen year old son last Friday. The boy had disobeyed his father and was being chastized. He suddenly jerked loose, ran to the dwelling, secured a gun, shot and killed his father. The dead man had made several visits to this county in years past, stopping at the home of Mr. J. N. Murrell. Apparently he was a peaceable lawabidding citizen, and his friends here regretted to hear of his death and the manner in which it was taken.
