(Special telegram) The badly mangled body of Henry Menebroker, wealthy Ne braska farmer, who has been missing since June 17, was round Tuesday on a railroad right-of-way four miles fiom Taylor, a hundred miles south of Waco. The body was identified by C. F. Smith of Waco, who was placed in rharorp of the search when Mene- broker's brother, Herman, returned to Nebraska the latter part ot last week, after hope of finding the missing man any time soon had been abandoned. Ivienebroker's home was at Clear water, Neb., where he had extensive land holdings. He had come to Tex as early in June to take charge of a farm he had bought some time ago in the lower Kio urande vailey. His bt other, Herman, and son, Paul, as well as a friend, C. E. Magness, were "traveling with him. Being unable to make the desired improvements to the Texas farm, the party was re turning to Nebraska when Mene brcker was lost from the train be Smithville and Waco. Search for the missing man was not instituted until the first part ot last week. It was learned at that time that a man who fitted the des cription of Menebroker had beep seen in Georgetown," Tex. Investi gation showed that a man of that description had been arrested in that city and held in the city jail for several days. No charges were filed against him. Officers state that they arrested him because he was found wandering aimlessly about town, and apparently had lost his memory. They say he gave his name as "Brooks." After being held in jail two or three days he was released and told to leave town. The next seen of him he- was in Taylor, a town twenty miles from Georgetown. Many people saw him walking about pi. the outskirts of the city, but after the search was started for him he could not be located. Officers are divided in their opinions aj to ivhetlier Menebroker was killed bv a train, or whether he committed sui cide. Farts obtained so far bear out the theory that Menebroker was severely elunned when he stcnoed from the swiftly moving train and that a loss of memory and probably -eason was the reen t ince tnat rime ne naa wandered about aimlessly 'rom place to place. Relatives at Clearwater, Neb., were notified of the discovery late today, and Herman Menebroker is exoccted to start tor lexas tm mediately. 400 Italians Killed In Battle Waged Two Days In Rome Streets London, June 30.
