LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 6.-Gored to

ably the fate of two small boys who
have been missing from laavelock, a
suburb of this city, since last Thurs
day. The bodies were found shortly
before dusk tonight by Geo. Froth,
who was led to the badly mutilated
corpses by his dogs. The victims,
George Diner, aged nine, and John
Rys. aged sixteen, went on a hunting
trip last Thursday. They did not re-
turn. Their parents became uneasy
and a searching party was organized
but no trace of the lads was found
1t appeared that the boys had been
set on by the bull suddenly. But q
solitary shot had been discharged
from their guns, that from the rifle.
When found the smaller boy had his
arms casped about the neck of his
comrade. The owner of the field, r.
