HER HUSBAND A WOMAN.
Another Chapter In the Case or Mr.
and Mrs. Miller OF sioux
City. Town.

Another chapter has Just been added 10 one
OF the most curious eases I'm the history OF
crime In Iowa. Early last spring there was
living near Sioux City a couple bearing the
name OF Miller, supposed 10 be husband and
wife, having lived there rs such for several
years. One day In March III. G. Miller. tho
supposed husband, went 10 Sioux City liy-
cry stable and hired horse for two hours.
He failed 10 return with the horse, and n
month later was found with his supposed
wife and child at Odebolt, with the horse.
They were arrested and taken back 10 Sioux
City and Miller lodged in Jail, the wife being
released on her own rccognizance. At the
May term OF court Miller was convicted OF
horse stealing aud sentenced 10 the pcniten-
tiary for eighteen months. About the lst OF
July he was taken 10 Fort Madison, was Ia
ken sick and sent 10 the hospital. Here the
strange fact was disclosed that the convict
was woman. She was sent 10 the Anamosa
prison and clothed In her proper garb, where
she now Ia. During oil the years she followed
the vacations OF a man she never BETRAYED
her sex. The reputed wife left Sioux CITY
and went 10 Des Moines, where she has been.
working rs n servant. The parents OF tho
little child that the Millcrs had claimed "a
their own, now three years old, became de-
sirous Of getting II back. Their names arc
Moe, and at the last term Of court they OBJ
tanned an order for It's possession. sheriff
Magee Of Sioux City started In search OF the
missing woman and child and they were
found Friday at Des Moines, and the child
was restored 10 It's parents. The woman
claims that she married her female husband
seven years ago, and that she at that time
married man, but that since he became
woman she had obtained divorce. Then she
desired TO cover up the deception and they
continued 70 live together. The conyict's
story, however, docs not agree with this. The
woman Is OF slight build, with coarse rcd
hair, and Ignorant The child Is bright
little boy.

convicts should do more than drag out

pernanence. Not the least startling part
