Railroads Assisting in the Search
Missing Honolulu Man viii be
Found, Dead or Alive.

Harry Miller is still among the
missing and his friends have about
given up all hope of his safety. He
should have arrived in Honolulu over
two months ago to take up his duties
with James Dodd. Money and mail
accumulated in San Francisco remains
uncalled for.
1t is quite certain that he was not
i'm the Rio Grande wreck in Colorado,
and his friends now believe that he
is either dead or held captive by bold
robbers who expect a high reward TO
be offered for him.
The railroad and police authorities
in the States are now conducting a
lively search for him. BY the Alame-
da Mr.. Dodd received letters which
have narrowed his whereabouts to be-
tween st. Louis and Ogden. The let
ters speak for themselves:

Dear Sir: As Il steamer sails for
Honolulu tomorrow we deem it our
duty to inform YOU what we have
done in the matter of Mr.. Harry Mil
Ter since we last wrote you. We have
however very little to report We en-
clcse you letter received from Arkan-
sas. On receipt of letter we went to
the chief of police, but they could do
no more than we. We telegraphed
again to Arkansas to find out the
number of the ticket Mr.. Miller pur-
chased and what route he took. Af-
ter receiving the desired information
we wrote to some friends of ours in
St Louis to go to the different rail
road offices and trace the ticket. to
find out how far the same had been
used.
The Southern Pacific tells us that
their part of the ticket. which is
from Ogden to San Francisco. has not
been taken up, so we know that he IS
| somewhere between Ogden and ST.
| Louis. or at either of those two pa
ces. The Southern Pacific will trace
him for us and promised to give us
all the particulars in about eight
| days, ard we hope that we can tell
| Tnu what has become of him when the
next steamer sails We are s6rry we
can write YOU nothing more at this
| date. Had the pleasure TO meet your
| brother. who called on MS twice. and
we told him all we could. and he will
no doubt write you also. Trusting we
will find him among the living we are
rs ever, Faithfully YOURS,
