Idaho Springs siftings., 1903-05-09

gave MT my oOf udu not ACdIu iIoul
Mr.. Miller till he turned up last night.
I was married on the 10Th to William S.
Young, barber at the Zeiger parlors.
'Mr Miller was always kind and
good husband before he left us, and al
ways loved Edwin dearly. Up to the
time that he left me he would rock the
child to sleep every night and he never
spoke cross to me. We lived at Idaho
Springs, Colo, after we were first mar
ried, but later we had to leave there on
account of Edwin's health. He suffers
from his heart and is liable to die any
time from fright. His father knew this,
and yet he treated him as he did last
evening.
"When we left Colorado Mr.. Miller
said that he lost his position because
relative of the man for whom he worked
wanted his place, but have since learn
ed that he was discharged for theft. He
was working at the time for the Roberts
Brothers mercantile house. He was an
usher in the Presbyterian church at that
place.
"We came from Colorado to Organ,
N. M, where Mr.. Miller worked for R,
Y. Anderson and was a good husband
and father. He was still a good church
member there, and was also superinten-
dent of the Presbyterian Sunday
school.
"Later we moved from Organ to Las
Cruces and Mr.. Miller left there a year
ago last August for Tucson, where he
was employed at a mine near that place.
He continued to write and send me
some money and his letters were always
kind and loving. He promised to come
home on Christmas, 1901, and Edwin
and were at the depot to meet him, but
he failed to come and instead sent
letter stating that all his money was tied
up in mining claims, and that he would
come soon
THAT was the last l heard of him, and
in January, a month later, 1 started for
Tucson to locate him. When 1 got to
the town he heard that was there, and
left, but learned from the police that
he had taken up with a woman by the
name of Eva Hays, and that he was 60
ing by her name, calling himself Ferg
Hays. Since then have not heard from
him. Warrents were sworn out there for
him, but had them withdrawn for the
sake of my son, and had not heard of
him any more until yesterday, except cas-
na1ly would hear indirectly that some
body had seen him some place or other,
and that he was drinking heavily all the
time, but have never received letter |
from him or seen him since he wrote his
last letter on Christmas of 1901.
81 have heard indirectly that he said
hat he never intended to work any more
and that he would get money the best
way he could and that he changes his
name at every place he stops. He goes
lnder his right name, George M. Miller,
hat OF Harry Furguson, Ferg. Hays and
Harry Franklin.
He is about thirty-five years of age,
-ather heavily built, with brown hair
ind mustache well curled, has blue eyes
ind good many teeth filed with gold,
. about five feet eight inches and a half
all and is of rather good appearance.
His right eye is drawn at times. He
usually dresses we'll, as he is rather
proud. He wears a gold watch and usu-

BY Ellis Brothers, the Job printers.
"The boy was found by Charles Four
1ier, of the G. H. car shops. When
seen by Herald man, Mr.. Fournier
said:
"The boy was found in box car which |
Car Repairer Morris had repaired yester-
lay afternoon and o. KID. All the men
1ad just left the shop and I started to
iollow, when heard some one moaning
IN the car. l looked in and when l first
saw him l thought it was a bum Sleep
ng in the corner of the car. 1 took
good look at him and saw that he was
gagged and tied. 1 called on one of the
ooilermakers from the shops, who hap
pened to be passing at that time, and
asked him to help get the boy out. After
taking the gag out of his mouth and un-
tying him we worked with him for about
thirty minutes before he recovered
