Father Of Beall Sneed is Killed
By a Tenant For Revenge

The police found note from Hillard
addressed to Mrs. Ruby Hillard at
Rosebud, saying that Sneed had mis-
treated him and that he intended to
kill Sneed and then let the authorities
send him to some institution because
he was crazy.
The Sneed family estate was built
up originally in this section of Texas
and although J. T. Sneed's sons have
built up independent fortunes in other
sections of Texas, the head OF the
family who was slain today retained
extensive interests in this section.
Sneed's death removes the heads of
both the families concerned IN the
Sneed- -Boyce trouble. Captain A q.
Royce, the Amarillo cattlenan who
was killed in Fort Worth recently by
Sneed's son, had been a lifelong
friend Of the man who was slain to-
day, until the elopement of Al Boyce
with Sneed's daughter law, Mrs.
Beall Sneed, estranged the families.
