HONEST MAN TO GO TO PRISON
Sells Mortgaged Cattle, Deposits
Money in Bank, and Never Tries
to Appropriate Cent of 1t
to Appropriate
Special to The Herald.

LEAVENWORTH, Kas, March 20
John Ashcroft, sheriff of Graham
county, brought John 1. Miller of Hill
City to the state prison to serve from
one to five years for concealing mort
gagged property. Millers case was one
of the hardest fought of any that has
ever come up in western Kansas, and
his final conviction was a great sur
prise to his friends.
Miller was a man of good standing
and a wealthy family, his personal
notes at one time being good for $685.
900. But his is the common story CT
many men who invest in cattle. One
day the price went down, causing q
great loss to the investors. After that
Miller was short of money, so he began
buying cattle on credit. A man named
Smith, from the southern part of the
state, sold him something over 300
head, taking Miler's note for pay.
Sheriff Ashcroft says that common
opinion In Hill City is that Miller is an
honest man, in spite of the fact that
when the price of cattle went down
again he sold some of those which he
bought and mortagaged to Smith. He
placed the money in bank and never
tried to get away with a cent of it. He
would probably have been able to paw
out all right if one day Smith had not
come up to look over the cattle. When
he found that Miller had sold and taken
some to another county he began action
against him at once and that in spite
of the fact that the mortgage he held
upon them will not be due until 1907.
The case was carried to the supreme
court after a fierce fight which every
one thought Miller would win. He was
convicted on two cou-ts, namely, for
selling and for concealing mortgaged
property.
The higher court dismissed the count
of selling the property and through a
technicality ordered Miller to be re-
tried on the other count.
So sure was Miller of acquittal that
during the first trial he refused Smiths
offer to settle for $500. He had taken
ma money intended to meet his note in
full, and hotly refused to consider any
thing but acquittal. His is a case of

of America and at one time woman

Miss Sutton will arrive in time to pIay

probable that the enthusiasts in this

OCEAN PARK, March 20.-Severely

out what they were doing.
Patrolman j. w. Mills was detailed
to accompany Hosick back to the scene
of the encounter, which took place in

Neibel and his second wife are living
at the Winetka apartments on Locust

this he refused to discuss any phase of
the matter. Neibel has resigned from
his former position as elder of the
First Christian church, presumably as

ST. ALBANS, VT, March 20.-When

here and Georgia village the mystery
of where Gus Pemberton, a moonshiner,
used to keep part of his supply of
whisky was disclosed. 1t was in
long wooden receptacle inside the tree
Gus always had a small supply of
liquor on hand no matter how closely
the authorities watched him, and the
most astute couldn't discover where
he kept the stuff. He would leave
Georgia without a drop and arrive
here an hour later with jugful. That
was as close as they could get to it.
Gus simply grinned and kept the secret
until the day he died.
1t now appears that his cache was
inside the dead maple. Where the tree
first branched was round hole nearly
a foot in diameter. Into this Gus in
serted long cask, at the bottom of
which was tap. The tap was placed
through a hole and plugged with a
cork, which was covered with chip
of bark. He could therefore fill his
jug as he drove by when no one was
looking. The cask contained two gall
Ions of spirits when the tree was
