COLORADO ITEMS.
The Tribune says it has been informed by a gentleman up the Platte that Mr. William Huggins, who lived about seventeen miles from here, and who started for Chicago on the 9th of January to get married, and to be gone a month, has not been heard from since, and that a man by that name was killed in Omaha a few days ago, which is supposed to have been him. He has three young children on his farm, which is carried on by Mr. Clark. He has also two children with a brother-in-law in Omaha. Huggins came here in '59 and was the discoverer of a rich bar on Clear Creek, and is said to have sent the first lot of gold to Chicago, from that locality.~ Cheyenne Daily Argus, 22-Feb-1868, Page 4, Column 2
