CHILDREN OUT ALL NIGHT.


WAUPUN, Wis, Dec. IA, 1S94.-Two
hundred men are searching the country
in the vicinity of the Town of Trenton
in a thorough manner to find some trace,
If possible, of two small children of Chris.
Schulz, who disappeared from home last
Monday.
No hope is entertained hat the chill
dren will be found alive, as Monday
night was cold and rainy, snow falling
toward morning, continuing during I the
day to the depth of several inches, and
it is presumed if found they will be dead
under the snow;
Many theories are advanced, among
them that they have been devoured by a
drove of half wild hogs which ave been
maintained in the neighborhood for sew
eral years, running at large in wintef
and summer OF a tract of wild land. II
is possible no trace of them may be
found until the snow leaves the ground
pen to more free inspection.
