Marshal Anderson was killed after being repeatedly struck over the head with a metal pipe. He was searching a car for illegal whiskey when one of the occupants struck him with the pipe. He was then taken to a nearby railroad boxcar where he was struck several more times. He died a short time later.

Five years later a man confessed to taking part in Marshal Anderson's death. He was sentenced to life in prison.
