OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES MURDER
Another Suburban Grocer Found With
His Head Crushed In

Jacksonville, July 25.-George Os-
born, a white man sixty years old
was found dead in his grocery store
on the outskirts of the city yesterday
morning. Osborn's head had been
crushed in by an iron bolt which lay
close to his body. The cash drawer
had been rified. which makes it evident
that robbery had furnished the motive
for the crime. Indications are that
the old man was awakened by the rob-
bers' efforts to force the cash drawer
and when he came upon them they
killed him.
