improving Appearance of Park

The appearance of the park in

been improved no little by the remov-
al of two rows of trees that bordered
the walk to the bayshore. They viii
be replaced with orn&mentals that
will not attain the size of the trees
removed, the principal reason for re-
moving the old ones being that they
obscure the view of the bay from the
hotel veranda and prevented a fair
view of the hctel, only the roof being

MOONSH,NERS SUSPECTED
or numbering AGED MAN
Part of Body Had Been Burned
One Suspect Arrested.

An awful tragedy occurred about
two miles south of Avon Park near
the Avon Park-Sebring public road
last week, when John West was
murdered and his body partly burn
! ed.
John West, an eighty-ycar-old man
left home last Thursday between
eight and nine o'clock with his shot
gun, telling his wife he was going to
try and kill a bird or rabbit and see
| if he could eat it, He had not been
feeling well and evidently thought a
bird or rabbit would taste good. AS
he did not return in the evening his
sons began a search for him, and Fri
day afternoon found his remains in
revine running between two lakes
about two miles south of Avon Park.
The evidence shows that he had
been struck on the head with blunt
instrument and an attempt made to
burn the body. The murderers sue
ceeded in burning the four limbs
from the body, the head and torso
still remaining together. The wound
in the head, which probably caused
his death, had oozed out the brain
until the fire had scared it.
The murdered man had $65 or $40
in his pockets when he left home,
but whether the murderer or murder
ers took the money or it was burned
is not known.
About fifty yards from where the
body was found the gun carried by /
Mr.. West was found. It was broken
and the officers think it was broken
in the blow which killed Mr.. West.
About seventy-fye yards from the
scene of the tragedy was whiskey
still. 1t was partly destroyed, but a
half barrel of buck" and part OF
the still remained.
A negro is believed to have operat-
ed the still and also believed to be
guilty Of the murder. One negro has
been arrested and lodged in jail at
Arcadia and the officers are on the
trail of the negro who is believed to
have operated the still.
The deceased was brother Of Mr.,
c. G. West, who for years lived south
Of Wauchula and who was drowned
while seining in Peace River several
years ago. - Wauchula Advocate.
