WOLVES IN MISSOURI.


Two Lads Believed to Have Been De-
voured by These Animals.
DEXTER, No., Nov. H.-Last Monday
morning Willie Meyers, aged sixteen, and
Johnnie Flynn, fifteen years Of age, sons.
of neighboring farmers, left their homes to
gather hickory nuts. They did not return
Monday night, and yesterday . party
was organised to search for the lads.
Late last night the remains of Willie
Meyers were discovered in wild and lone-
ly ravine ten miles from here. Nothing but
his clothing and q few bones were found
and an investigation showed that he had
been devoured by wolves. No trace Of
young Flynn has yet been discovered.
Both Stoddard and Bollinger Counties are
overrun with wolves, and it is believed the
lads were chased by pack after dark and
separated in their flight. There Is very
little hope of finding Flynn alive, but the
search is being pushed with v gor. Apack
of wolves were seen near Bloomfield last
week, and were very bold. Many believe
that Meyers was devoured by wildcat or
panther, but neither of these animals has
been seen here for several years.
