Serving Hearne Cation Center, V. g. Robertson County, and adjoining area VOLUME 71 THE HEARNE kiorofiiii Box 8066 Dallas, Houston Contractor Shot In Deer Hunting Accident Hearne'8 Own Newspaper For The Past Seventy-One Years Established 1890 HEARNE, ROBERTSON COUNTY, TEXAS, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER A COPY John Weldon Caveness of Houston succumbed en route to a Bryan hospital early Friday morning after being ac- cidently shot in a deer hunting accident near the Navasota River. Bryan police said they were told by members of the 45-year- old contractor's party that Caveness was killed by his own rifle reaching into the back seat of their jeep for a flashlight. CAVENESS WAS struck in the abdomen by the bullet from a 30-30 rifle.

Since the hunter was across the county line when he died, the accident will be counted as a Brazos County fatality. The contractor was with a party setting up camp on the McMurray ranch, 18 miles from Benchley. He and two friends were among the late arrivals, getting there at 11:10 p. m. The accident happened shortly thereafter.

HIS COMPANIONS drove him to Bryan on the old Tabor road and said he was conscious and talked up to the time of his death. The party Included W. J. Sparkman, John McKirahan, H. B.

Riley, Harvey Wingate and E. E. Lezandowski, all of Houston. Caveness was married and a partner in the contracting firm of Caveness and Jones. He was a member of the East Houston Masonic Lodge.

Stephenson's office Tuesday of this week. THE LOCAL EAGLES enter the game with 11 straight wiiM and after winning bi-district honors from Georgetown last Friday theni champions of Districts 19A A and The high flying Eagles this year have amassed 395 points while allowing their 11 opponents only 72 points, or less than seven points a game average. The Brady Bulldogs also have a remarkable season record having lost only one game in regular play and that to the tough Belton AAA team by a score of 26 to 8. THE DOGGIES, champions of Districts 17 AA and 18AA, have 348 points to their credit thus far, giving up 88 in 11 games. Last Friday night the Bulldogs hosted the Hillsboro Eagles in bi-district play and upset them 26-8.

The Doggies are sparked by lean, lanky 166-pound Charles Reynolds at quarterback. Central Texai writers have praised Reynolds throughout the year and he has an enviable record. He is said to be very combination of Cotton, Saxton, Gibbs and Meredith, rolled into one. EAGLE COACH Ken Batson said that weight-wise the two teams were about even, but out that the Bulldogs were a tough, seasoned team and playing in a regional game was not unusual to them. They were state champions in 1958.
