Last Friday p.m. about 4:00 o'clock L. C. Stracner of Tarkington Prairie was found in the woods a mile or more from T. J. Carters residence with his neck broken and his face bruised. An inquest was called and it was decided that death was caused by falling from his horse. Later the case was gone into more thoroughly, and many believe that he was a victim of foul play.
He was buried at the Ryan Cemetery Saturday afternoon.
Mr. Stracner was a native of Louisiana, but came to Texas and Liberty County about 30 years ago, at the age of 19 years. On March 10th 1908 he and Miss Suzie Harrell were married. The wife and a daughter Ava, about 16 years old survive him. Mrs. Stracner is a daughter of Joe Harrell, a well known farmer and stock man of Tarkington Prairie.
Mr. Stracner had been buying and shipping cattle recently, and had gone down about Splendora Thursday to gather some cattle. He stayed Thursday night with N. R. Rushing, who lives several miles east of Splendora. He left the Rushing home about 8:00 o'clock Friday morning on his way home. About 10:00 o'clock his horse reached T. J. Carters residence. Mr. Carter took the horse up and supposed Mr. Strancer would come soon, but as he had not come at the middle of the afternoon Carter went to hunt for him. He was found west of Tarkington Bayou, about a mile from the Carter home, lieing face downward with his hat on the back of his head. The wallet from his saddle was leaning against a tree near the body.
He has always been quiet, peacable and obliging, and had very few if any enemies. Opinions vary as to the cause of his death, and if murdered, as to the motive.
