ZiIIar NayIOr Dead.

B. L. Naylor died after a long
illness at his home in Sap An
tonic, Texas, on Thursday even
ing of last week.
Many of the old time Baxter
ties will remember Zillar Naylor.
He was engaged in the cattle
business here, and a few years
ago went down into the cattle
country of Texas, where he
plunged heavily and made lots of
money. Finally he got into the
land business, and in partnership
with a man by the name of Jones
got hold of several hundred thous-
and acres of cheap Texas land.
The price went up, and he and
his partner cleaned up about
three million dollars each on the
land. They went to San Ans
tonic and built the finest hotel in
that city. 1t is much the style
of the Conner hotel in Joplin and
is the popular hotel of that part
of Texas.
A few months ago Mr.. Naylor,
in company with his wife, went
to Germany to consult some
specialists, bat the trip was not
productive Of good results. he
came back and remained at Bat
tie Greek, Michigan, q while,
bat was not benefited, and went
back home.
His wife Is a sister Of John n.
Cooper Of this CITY. Besides his
wife, MIR. NaylOr left one child
daughter, fifteen years old.
