    3. "The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Tuesday, August 24, 1915 TWO BOYS CAUGHT A WOLF. Cecil LATIMER, 12 years old, and his brother, James Edgar, 10 years old, sons of J. J. LATIMER of Independence, took a wolf scalp to the county clerk's office in that city yesterday and claimed the bounty of $3. The boys said they captured the wolf Saturday on the FRAZIER farm, southeast of Independence. When they saw it, it ran into a hollow log. They procured a gunny sack and tied it over the opening of the log, and then scared the wolf out into the sack. They put the wolf in a box until they could get a heavy collar and wire on either side of it. Thus equipped, they led the animal to their home, 1115 South Noland Street, Independence, where it was killed. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.)
