     The lifeless body of August Benat, who has resided with his family for many years at 504 Lyte street, was found under a large cedar tree, near the family home in North Dallas early this morning. A small cotton rope was tied tightly around the neck and a little above the head to the body of the tree, indicating that death might have resulted from strangulation. Two small strychnine bottles were found on the ground near by. The body was in a slightly decomposed state, which would indicate that it had been there for some two days. Members of the family, however, stated to Mounted Police Officers Hanie and Daniels, who went to the scene of the tragedy, that the dead man left home about 10 o'clock yesterday morning. He started in the direction of the city.
     He did not return home last night, but as this occurrence was not unusual, little heed was given it. The body was found by a passerby this morning and the information hurriedly telephoned into the police department. Officers Hanie and Daniels hurried to the spot and were followed later by Justice of the Peace Edwards, who viewed the remains and will render his verdict this afternoon. The body was then cut down and removed to the parlors of the Donovan Undertaking company. The funeral will take place tomorrow under the auspices of the Sons of Hermann, of which order the deceased was a member in good standing.
     Mr. Benat, at the time of his death, was about fifty-five years of age. He has resided in Dallas for the past twenty years and is well known here, especially among the Germans of the city. He formerly conducted a place of business on North Akard street, between Elm and Pacific. Surviving him are a wife, three sons and three daughters. Failing health and business cares are supposed to have been the cause of today's sad tragedy.

     Joe Williams, a negro, aged about twenty-five years, was shot and instantly killed at the intersection of the Santa Fe and Houston and Texas Central railroad tracks shortly after 10 o'clock last night.
Williams, who, for some time past, has resided in the Territory, returned to the city a few days ago and this morning had some trouble with another negro, whom the police are now hunting. It was while Williams was crossing the tracks that he was shot and his lifeless body fell between the rails, where it was discovered just in time to save it from being mangled by a passing train.
     A railroad employe in the tower stationed at the intersection of the two railroad tracks, heard the shots, but did not leave his post until notified some fifteen minutes later there was a dead negro on the tracks.
     Two bullets of 38-calibre size penetrated the dead negro, one entering the head and the other, the body, either one of which would have caused death. In the pockets of the dead man was found a 32-calibre revolver, which was turned over to the police.
Mounted Officers Riddle and Ryan answered the call and an arrest is expected at most any time.
     The remains were taken in charge by Undertaker Donovan and are being held pending the funeral arrangements.
