NEW MILWAUKEE
OFFICIAL HERE
DISTRICT FREIGHT AND PASSEN­
GER AGENT WILL HAVE OF­
FICE IN OTTUMWA
C. J. Mickish Is in City Today Looking
Over Ground—Will Assume New
Duties January 1—120 Foot Addi
tion for Freight House.
From Wednesday's Daily.
Ottumwa is to be the headquarters
of the new traveling freight and pas
senger agent of the Kansas City divis
ion of the Milwaukee. C. J. Mickish
of Mendota, 111., the new official, is in
the city today, looking over the ground
preparatory to moving here January 1,
at which time he will assume his new
/duties..
i-' The freight and pafesenger business
of this division has heretofore been
handled by G. W. Blair of Cedar Rap
ids, in connection with the Chicago and
Council, Bluffs division, but the in
creased traffic on these two divisions
has necessitated the addition of a rep
resentative for the Kansas City dlvis
ion alone. Mr. Blair will now have
charge of the C. and C. B. division
solely.
Mickish is Weil Known Here.
The new agent is well known in this
city. For a number of years he was
located at Cedar Rapids, where he as
sisted Mr. Blair in the handling of the
traffic over the K. C. division, and
made many friends among Ottumwa's
business men in his numerous trips to
this city. A year ago he was trans
ferred to Mendota, 111., where he suc
ceeded J. A. Macdonald as general
agent of the Milwaukee.. Mr. Macdon
ald was at that time transferred to Ot
tumwa, where he has since been locat
ed as superintendent of the Kansas
City division.
Mr. Mickish has been associated with,
the Milwaukee road for many years,"
and his new promotion speaks well for
his ability to handle the rapidly in
creasing traffic over this division.
Office in Milwaukee Freight Depot.
Mr. Mickish will'have his office tem
porarlly at the Milwaukee freight de
|pot. His office force has not as yet
been selected, but will consist of a
chief clerk and a stenographerf. He
will move his family here the first of
the year, as soon as he has decided
,: upon a residence.

OWNER OF RING
OBTAINS JEWEL
LETTER FROM NEEDLES, CAL.,
CLEARS UP MYSTERY OF
STRANGE FIND
Mrs. C. B. Pldduck, Daughter 6f Mr.
and Mrs, Thomas Rimmer of T(iis
City Recovers Her Wedding Ring—
Unusual Story of Disappearance,
From Tuesday's Daily.
The owner of the ring Is found. She
is Mrs. C. B. Pidduck of Needles, Cali
fornia, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas Rimmer of this city, residing
at 500 Mabel street.
Readers of the courier will doubt
less remember the strange story of the
ring found in a clo^Jc at Phillips' Big
Store, which was published Tuesday
December 4. Miss barah Spiwak dis
covered a gold band ring in' the pocket
oi a winter cloak which she was try
ing on. No one could tell where the
circlet came from, neither did any one
remember showing the coat previously^
as it was of entirely new stock. Mr.
Phillips took the ring to a jeweler at
the time and it was pronounced to be
of flrst-class quality.
Thomas Rimmer Receives Letter.
Yesterday Mr. Rimmer received a
letter from his daughter, Mrs. C. B.
Pidduck of Needles, California, which
clears up the mystery and establishes
without a doubt her rightful owner
ship of the jewel. Mrs. Pidduck had
been in the city at the time visiting
at the home of her parents. While
here she purchased a cloak from Phil
lips store and took it home with her.
on approval. Later she decided that
the cloak was too short for her and
brought it back and exchanged it for
another. As she left* the store, sh'a
remembered that she had left a hand
kerchief in the pocket of the cloak
and returned for It.
Ring Slips From Finger.
The clerk handed the garment to
Mrs. Pidduck and she obtained her
handkerchief from the pocket, at She
same time unknowingly leading her
ring. As Mrs. Pidduck was to return
to her. home In Needles that same
day, she proceeded to pack her trunk
as soon as she reached her parents'
tome. Not until after 'the- trunk was
entirely packed and strapped did she
miss her ring. At the time she
thought that It must have slipped from
her finger in the packing and decided
to wait until she reached her home be
fore looking for it.
Reads Story in the Courier. 'A}.
The following day Mr. Rimmer skw
the account of the unusual find print
ed in the Courier and Immediately
sent the paper to his daughter, realiz
ing that the ring held by Mr. Phillips
was undoubtedly.the wedding ring of
his daughter. The letter received yes
terday tells of the incident and de
scribes the cloak and ring exactly.
Mr. Phillips returned the ring to Mr.
Rimmer last evening in the presence
of a reporter, and the lost property
will be mailed to the owner at once.
