LAST Monday morning Willie Myers,
aged 16, and Johnny Flynn, Is years of
age, sons of neighboring farmers, left
their homes near Dexter, Stoddard coun-
ty, Mo-, to gather hickory-nuts. They
did not return Monday night, and Tues
day party was organized to search for
the lads. Late that night the remains of
Willie Myers was discovered in wild and
lonely ravine ten miles from Dexter.
Nothing but his clothing and few bones
were found, and an investigation showed
that he had been devoured by wolves. No
trace of young Flynn has yet been dis
covered. Both Stoddard and Bollinger
counties are overrun with wolves, and it
is believed the lads were chased by pack
after dark and were separated in their
flight.
