The Pioneer office received a
letter from Mrs. Millikin, at Mime
neapolis, November 20, asking for
assistance in locating her husband.
She learned through friend that he
was going to take up some land
near Bemidji or Blackjack and
therefore wishes US to give publicity
to these facts.
Mr.. Milliken is a man of about
six feet in height, blue eyes and is
slightly stoop shouldered. His hair
is black mixed with gray and his
moustache is gray. When last seen
he weighed about 165 pounds.
This seems to be the best descrip-
ton we can secure of him as we are
unable to get a photograph of the
man.
A great favor would be bestowed
upon the wife and family Of this
man if his whereabouts can be
