IL. a. Miller, of Newark, n. j., mem
beg Of shoe manufacturing firm in
that city. will eat his THANKSGIVING,
dinner in ST. Paul today, but it is safe
To say he will not give thanks ina.very
audible tone. Miller, arrived in this
city Saturday, and devoted the. day to
his business interests, LII the evening
he, dropped into the Casino concert sa-
loon Oil East Seventh street. One of
the fairies" who enliyen the place by
warbling ballads OH the stage be-
tween beers snd Instrumental Sc
lections, is down on the bills as ''Artie
Spencer, the queen of serIo comic
songsters." Artie sang a selection
about Polly, Amt You Going Out To-
Might" and during tbeinterludes waved
her handkerchief and twisted her skirts
in captivating way. 1t was very cap
tiyating to Miller. who was fresh from
the meadows of the Jersey town. He
didn't "go OUT that evening, perhaps,
because he Was with party of friends
and was not willing to tip his hand, but
Sunday night he was back at the old
stand, willing and anxious to meet the
queen OF SeriO-comic SnngsterS." Mil
Ter. after some little preliminaries, was
given a check to the green room and was
soon engaged i'll telling the quartette
Serio-comics what smart fellow he
was. Incidental with his autobiography
he ordered wine, and explained he was
the only man who was judge of extra
dry. He ordered and drank until he
had spent all his ready cash. but as he
claimed to have barrel of money at
the RYAN hotel, where ne stopped, and
was willing to go after it, there was no
objection to his so doing. In the mean
time he ordered few more bottles, and
finally at 5 o'clock Monday morning he
landed at the hotel accompanied by W
IL. Gri fin, manager of the concert hall.
He; obtained from the clerk an enve-
iOpe containing his money, and, after
Settling his tab with the Casino mana
ger, started out. The next seen of him
was about7 o'clock, when he wandered
into the Ryan bar and wanted 20 match
the bartender for a drink. As
matter OF course, he didn't match,
and when asked to settle lie
made search of his clothes
and then shouted that he had been
robbed of $l60. He reported the case to
the police, and since Monday afternoon
he has been on the hustle for his miss
ing roll. III order to have some back
ing he secured the services of Attorney
George Walsh, and the twain in turn
have called on Chief GarviI, Chief of
Detectives McGinn, Capt. Sweitzer,
County Attorney Butler and Mayor
Wright. The police gave him little, if
any. attention, and yesterday Miller
went 10 the mayors office. The mayor
sent for Artie Spencer, and the young
woman, vino Miller claimed touched
him for his money, had half hours
conference with the mayor yesterday
afternoon. The police claim that Miller
was not robbed at all, but spent his
money for Wine, and this statement is
corrO0orated by Griffith, the manager of
the, Casino. just what official action the
mayor will take,is not known but, ac-
cording to the general rule of the pres
emit administration. the matter will
probably be dropped.
