was established today. when 1t was
fully recognized as that Of Mrs. Will
lam Meyers, of Keister, MINI, from
whence she disappeared on Nov. 8. The
Identification was made by Henry
Meyers. brother-in-law, who was
tele graphed for yesterday. The wom-
ans husband started for Belle Plane,
but when he Kot to the depot ut Keis-
Ter he tainted and was unable to con-

of her death. There is no clue to the
time between Nov. S. when she lefr
home. and the time when she is sup
