MISSING BRACKEN
COUNTY man FOUND
At NEWPORT MILLS
Clifton Riggen Is Working In the An.
drews Steel Mills at Newport,
Message Received Here
Today States.

Chief of Police James Mackey
Thursday received a long distance
telephone message from an operative
OF the Newport Police force, informing
him that Clifton Riggen, Wellsburg
farm :. who has been missing since
Sunday, March 9Th, had been located
at the Andrews Steel Mills in that city
where he has been working since
Monday, March 9Th.
Chief Mackey at once communicated
with the father of the missing man
who left Thursday afternoon Tor New.
port to learn why his son 80 mysteri.
ously left his wife and babies. It is
thought that young Riggen is not in
his right mind for he left with his sea-
sons tobacco crop loaded but not de.
livered and did not draw a penny from
his bank account.
For the past three weeks the young
mans father and other relatives have
been searching the Ohio Valley but
were unable to get any trace Of the
missing man. Young Riggen had just
recovered from a severe attack of ty.
phoid fever and this 1t is feared has
affected his mind.

from the negro and notified the police.

the man. Wormaly protests his inno-
