If everything pans out all right
Frank Miller, of Moline, will suddenly
rise from moderate circumstances to
one of wealth far beyond the dreams
of most men. Some time ago an uncle
on his fathers side died in the east,
and it was stated that he left an inn
mense fortune. Mr.. Miller set about
an inquiry and it now develops that
most of the fortune will fall to him.
1t reaches n fabulous sum, report be-
ing to the effect that it will amount
to fully $7,OOO,O00, mostly in rich
Pennsylvania coal lands. Mr.. Miller
could not be located yesterday, hav-
ing accepted a position as cook in a
restaurant in Rock Island or Daven-
port. not knowing that news concern
ing his prospective fortune would so
shortly reach Moline. 1t is said that
Mr.. Miller will have no difficulty in
establishing his rights to the prop
erty. For some time the heir to this
immense fortune was proprietor of
the Fourth avenue restaurant, filed
the position of cook at several places
about the city and was once employed
as driver by c. c. Cox, the express
. man.
