TURN Two COWS INTO MINT
William Frank Miller and Wife Guido the
Golden Goose.
GREAT CROP OF BOVINE MORTGAGES
when Money Lender Learn How They
Have Been Duped They Lock
Up Mother and Her
Babe.

The facility with which William Frank
Miller and his wife. Elsie Julia Miller, were
able to make money by mortgaglng two
cows led to the arrest yesterday OF Mrs.
Miller on charges Of obtaining money under
false pretenses and disposing OF mortgaged
property. Divide Wen, former justice of the
peace, and chattel loan broker, filed in
Judge Bryants ONCE the complaint under
which Mrs. Miller was arrested yesterday
morning In Glenwood. A warrant has also
been issued for the arrest OF her husband,
but thus far he has eyaded the officers.
The Millers formerly lived in this city,
at 2615 Avenue G, where they owned two
cows, which for money makers to their own
ers put the goose that laid the golden eggs
in the old fable well in the background.
So far. mortgages on the two bovines have
been brought to light aggregatlng 1925, and
1t is alleged others are to be heard from.
Divide Wien, after seeing the two ami
mails, was induced to loan $50 Upon them.
Another chattel loan broker parted with
S25 on the same two milk producers. In
Plattsmouth, Neb., Miller mortgaged the
animals for 800 and yesterday It was dis
covered that he had obtained SIS from a firm
OF loan brokers in Omaha on the SAM two
cows.
JusllCt bryant udS III MS pOSSSSslOu as
silent witnesses in the case against Mrs.
Miller Ave of the chattel mortgages which
she and her husband are alleged to have
placed upon the two cows. Miller and his
wife did not sign these mortgages all in
the same way. In one Miller appears as
Frank Miller and his wife as Elsie Miller.
In another Miller signed the mortgage as
William +. Miller and his wife as Julia
Miller. In a third Miller signed himself
plain william Miller, while his wife appears
as Julia Elsie Miller. In another Miller
signed his full name, William Frank Miller,
and his wife signed herself as Mrs. J. E.
Miller.
Mrs. Miller is young, with three small
children. The youngest, a 2-year-old boy,
is in the county Jail with her.
When last heard Of Miller was in Louis
Vile, Neb., where he escaped arrest by
playing a trick upon the sheriff. His
whereabouts became known to the authori-
ties here and they notified the Nebraska
sheriff that Miller was in Louisville. The
sheriff went there for him and ran across
Miller, who told the sheriff that he was a
cousin OF the man he was looking for and
would assist him in getting the culprit.
They went to town together and Miller sug-
gested that the sheriff keep in the back
ground, while Miller went and got his
cousin. So far as the sheriff knows, Miller
is still going, as he never set eyes on hin
again. s'.
