The victims, Wayne Mullendore and his cousin, Ronald Johnson, both 14, were found Thursday night in an isolated pavilion in Levings Park on Rockford's Southwest Side. Each of the youths had been shot twice. Brown, sheriff of Winnebago County, said evidence uncovered thus far indicates the cousins were driven to the park, and forced to kneel facing a concrete wall in a pavilion. Then each was shot in the back of the head.

The killer, Brown said, shot each of the youths in the stomach after they had fallen. The boys were found by sheriff's deputies who responded to a telephone call from an unidentified person at first believed to be a woman who reported two men had been murdered in the park. The Mullendore boy was still alive when police reached the park. He died several hours later in a hospital without regaining consciousness. Jury Awards ,636 to W.

Numbers Must Be Included On Requests for Medicare Medicare patients have been delaying their own insurance payments-by neglecting to Include their identification numbers when filling out payment- request forms. "Even though the number may seem like a very simple item, it is very important to the medicare carrier insurer," says Manager E. W. Lehen of the Alton Social Security office. "Without the medicare identification number, it is very difficult for the carrier to find out if one is actually signed up for doctor bill insurance or if the party has made the required $50 deductible payment for the year." Continental Casualty Co.

of Chicago, the insurer, must in turn either write the social security office the person's district or directly to the person's district or directly to the person to obtain the number, thus causing unnecessary mailing and delayed payments as a result.
