County Treasurer Bolln yesterday v cerved a letter from Newport, Kentucky, making inquiry in regard to 1 man named Bl Tloyd Utterback, who is said to have once lived near Omaha, and died here several years ago.

She says that on her being able to prove conclusively the death of her father depends her securing from the overnment a large amount of mon n telling her My father d nd mother at least twelve or thirteen years ago.
