Yesterday afternoon a den 01 wolves was unearthed on the Egen- berger farm, south of this city, by M. G. Stava, Lee Fickler and Clar ence Price, who were working near there, when thfcHeuddenljicarpe on the hangou of the wolves, ajidin a few minutes had- four of tkh young cr.es cagiye. The wolves . were ,6f pretty god-;sif,e and the gentlemen are quite 'pfeated with their capture as it will probably result in ridding that locality of a nuisance . of the worst tirid. So far the old' wolves have not been captured, but every effort will be made to land them and rid the community of the prowlings of the animals around the farms ' in. that locality, where they did" a great deal of mischief in the last few months. Only a few days ago one of the animals visited the farm of Mr. Stava and carried away a full-grown chicken, and they had become so bold as to come right up in the farm yard in broad daylight, so that the finding of their den is pleasing in the ex treme to the residents along the river bluffs.

RUMMERFIELD INVENTS -AN AUTOMOBILE 'DIRECTOR From Friday's Dally. J. R. Rummerfield of this city has joined the field -of inventors by his perfection of a course" indicator for the auto driver which seems to fill a long-felt want. This, little device consists of an arrow. which is placed on the front of the dash of an auto mobile and by pressing a button on the door the arrow points in the way the driver of the automobile intends to turn, and,, being visible from the back, permits the .driver of a machine following to learn just what way the machine intends to turn, saving time as well as the danger of. accidents and collisions. Mr. Rummerfield has perfected the device and intends to have a .number of them made at once as soon as he receives his patent and installed on automobiles here, that a practical working may be secured from the device. If it proves as suc cessful as hoped for it certainly looks as though "Bud" has secured some thing good that will find a ready sale.

A PARTY HERE FROM THE OIL REGIONS NEAR UNION YESTERDAY From Saturday's Dally. An automobile party ot oil pros pectors and others from Union were in the city yesterday afternoon for a few hours and the party was under the charge of Attorney C. L.

In the party were Lon Deit rich, the owner of the well drilling outfit, as well as ''Curley" Robinson and Dick Dickson, two of the expert drillers, who have been" engaged in the work at that place. Ellis LaRue and George Stites, the liveryman, accompanied the party to this city. The work on the oil well has been prosecuted until a depth of 700 feet was reached, when some of the well - boring apparatus was covered up in the weil ami made it necessary to replace it with other machinery, and this has delayed the advancement of the work quite a great deal, but seems to have been overcome, and the oper ations will be resumed in a very short time. The residents of Union and vicinity aie very optimistic as to the possibilities of striking oil in the drilling operations, which are being carried out near the Missouri river, five miles east of that place. It is to be hoped that the ambitions of the Union people can find a realization in a great flowing 'oil or gas well, adding to the great natural wealth of this county.

A lid taie a chance of getting hit, To beat the train across. For if it ever hits you, Well I've only this to say: "There'll be joy in heaven," Or, "There'll be the devil to pay. ' T. W. Gladhill."
