County Clerk C. G. Weeks was on Tuesday evening notified by a. tele- phone call from J. F. Woolery of Blackwater, that the body which he had identified as that of his son, John . Woolery, was not that of his son, and asked what disposition should be made of the pad. John W. Woo! ro supposed to be a son of J. F. oolery, of near Blackwater, Mo., died at Worland, Mo., Friday, May 19, 1911 after only a short illness. Deceased was in the employ of the Kansas City Southern Railway at the time of his death. J. F. Woolery arrived in this city Sun- day and after identifying the body as that of his son, accompanied the re- mains home, where funeral ‘services were held and interment was made Tuesday. Among his effects were found a re- ceipt for dues to the Woodmen Lodge at Windsor, Mo., an identification card etc., and communications from the clerk of the Windsor lodge stated that John W. Woolery carried a policy of $1000 in that order. The announcement of J. F. Wool- ery that deceased is not his son causes to arise the question, if not his son, who was he, that his appearance should so deceive the father who had seen his son no longer ago than list Christmas, and how came he in pos- session of the identification cards and other property of John W. Woolery whom he must closely resemble? Company “‘B” Score. The following score was made by Co. “‘B’ 2nd Infantry at Nevada target range May 21st. Possible points 50. Captain Ed. S. Clarke Lieut.
