TWO ESTES BOYS PROBABLY
VICTIMS OF FOUL PLAY.

The disappearance of the two
Estes boys, sons of W. L. Estes,
fisherman on Island No. 5, ages
20 and 10, Is still shrouded IN
mystery.
Some tangible evidence that
they were drowned has been
found, with the discovery of two
floaters at New Madrid last Fri
day. In the pockets of one OF
the victims was found candidate
card with the name of Clarence
Henry, of Hickman, on IL The
father has gone to that town 10
have the bodies disinterred and
try to identify them. The boys
are known to have had $2I.oO on
their person when they left home,
bat the coroner of New Madrid
evidently found no money IN
their pockets. There is a proba-
bility that the boys were killed
and thrown in the river, as the
skull of one of the floaters had
been crushed Just above the eye
1t seems that these two boy
left No. Island about two weeks
ago enroute to Hickman IN a
gasoline launch, with a skiff tied
behind it. They started TO town
for the double purpose of bring
ing Sam Estridge and wife, who
had to attend circuit court, and
to purchase a supply Of groce-
ries. About even with the Men
gel Box Co. plant, their supply OF
gasoline was exhausted and they
landed; Estridge and wife and
the two young men walking up
town. The boys carried a can
to get gasoline and soon return
ed, accompanied by three other
men, according 10 an eyewitness.
Instead of coming on up town TO
get their supplies, all five got
into the launch, started back
down the river and were last seen
opposite No. 6. No further trace
of them can be found. Who the
men were with them and why
they started toward No. 6 is a
mystery.
\ gasoline boat has been
found al charlottesville, which
proDly belonged to the Estes
boys. The skiff they carried In
tow, was found in possession Of
a man just below the Mengel
plant. He is said to have told
Mr.. Estes that his wife caught
the skiff floating upside down.
! But Mr.. Estes, We are told, claims
there was still sand caked in the
end of the boat and a stew-pan,
used for bailing out water, was
also with the boat; which, if it
had been turned over would
doubtless have been lost.
The money being gone from the
boys pockets, the identity of the
three men who were seen with
them, the mystery of the old
stew-pan in the skiff, the crush
ed skull of one, their failure Il
come on TO town-all remain to be
solved and support the theory of
suspected foul play.
The family has resided on No
5 for three or four years.
