BROTHERS MISSING;
BODY OF ONE FOUND

Welaka, Fla, Feb. THE body
Of Alonzo G. Gardner OF Baltimore
was found today in a dense palmetto
thi.ket along the banks Of Raft creek
near Georgetown, Fla. Death har been
caused by a shot in the back of the
head. Gardner and his brother, Hor.
ace of Springfield, Mass, have been
missing for three weeks.
No trace of Horace Gardner has
been found, but the authorities be-
lieye he, too, is dead. 1t is believed
both men were killed for the purpose
oil robhery. The pockets of the
brother found today had been turned
wrong side out. Both are said to
have carried considerable money.
Search for the men was begun i'm
mediately after a negro pilot return.
ed here alone January % with a
yacht the brothers had engaged for
use on hunting trip up the Ock-
lawaha river. The negro disappear
ed soon aferward and efforts to find
him have failed.
Charred Camp equipment owned by
the Gardeners was found about week
ago near the place where the body
was located. This strengthened a
theory trat the two men had been
murdered. The body recovered was
found by Captain Hiscock of river
mail boat. The dead mans hand
gripped small caliber rife. with
which he presumably had been shoot
ing game.
