    JACK MILLIGAN
    Jack Milligan, aged 74, died Saturday forenoon at the Henry McGuire home. Mr. Milligan had spent the past 30 or 35 years, off and on, living along the Kaw River between Cross Creek and the vicinity of Maple Hill trapping and fishing.

    At the time of his death he had been living in a tent near the mouth of Cross Creek or Dr. Miller’s land. Early last week he fell and badly bruised his face and evidently in so weakened condition his foot landed in his wood stove and was badly burned. Exposure brought on pneumonia.

    Some local men chopping wood nearby finally induced him to come to town and he was brought to the McGuire home last Thursday.

    Mr. Milligan was close mouthed about his living relatives, if any, and about his personal affairs. He had been a roamer all his life, working at times in the South, in the mountain states and on the west coast

    The body was taken in charge by the county authorities and he was buried at Topeka Tuesday of this week.
