Items.

Much interest has been aroused In
Bellaire over the strange case of w. II.
Mills, who disappeared from his home
at Mansfield, o., on November 30th,
and is due to the fact that he was for
merly a resident of this city, which
was mentioned exclusively in the Reg
ister's details a few days ago.
All that has been learned of his
whereabouts since November 30th was
by means OF a postal card, which he
mailed last Friday to Mansfield, from
La Junta, Col, and which stated that
ne was. on his way to the IAlondike.
His fatherin-law, Mr.. Thornberry,
with whom Mr.. Mills was actively en-
gagged in the coal business of Thorn
berry & Mills, at Mansheld, is manipu-
lating every means possible for his rel
atlve's return and has sent out a card
giving description of Mills as "a man
thirty-one years of age, of medium
height, having black hair and mus
tache and dark eyes, etc, and in con-
clusion states that he was an earnest
worker in the Y. P. S. c. E. and the
Y. M. G. A. The above has been wired
to many points along all the routes
leading out OF La Junta, as no man
answering the description can be
found at the latter place. The missing
man has wife and three children liv-
ing at Mansfield. Mrs. Mills is pros
trated with worry over the strange at
fair.
