    Death Notice:

    NAVASOTA FARMER MEETS MYSTERIOUS DEATH FRIDAY EVE.

    R.F. German, a farmer 50 years old, was found dead on the right-of-way of the I.G.N. Railway 3 miles north of Navasota early this morning, according to a phone message from S.E. Lowe of Navasota. The cause of death is unknown. He had been in Navasota Friday afternoon and sold a bale of cotton. A neighbor carried him part of the way home, but German got out saying he had some business to attend to. Not all of the money for the cotton was found on him as he had left most of it for safe keeping at a store near his home. He is survived by his wife, two sons, and several step-sons. He will be buried near Millican Sunday. Sheriff L.E. Morehead and District Clerk J.P. Barron went out today to the scene of the death but had not returned at the time the Eagle went to press.
