marks on her body from the treat
ment she had received from her jail
er when she tried to escape. This
same girl he said, had a small pack
age which she had kept concealed in
the room ever since her imprison-
ment and when he opened it, he
found it to contain a Teddy Bear, a
doll and several other keepsal<es. In
order to maintain the part he was
acting, he says he took it brutally
away from her, whereupon she cried
piteously.
Girl Came from Convent.
He later learned the girls story and
It is a striking illustration of the
traffic which is far worse than that
which split the union in twain for
four long, bloody years. She had
spent her girlhood in convent and
had only been out from the restraint
of that school four days when she en-
countered Belle Moore on the streets.
The negress represented herself as a
hotel keeper and asked the girl If
she wanted a position. Cnsophistl-
Gated as she was. the girl innocently
walked into the trap ana thus became
an inmate of the steel barred room
which She was never allowed to leave
until Juneau Dick" paid S75 for her
body
$4,000 to Defend Negroes.
The success of his trading he re-
ported to the grand Jury and, as re-
suit. 81 indictments were returned
and "a convictions followed. Among
the traffickers convicted was Belle
Moore but she was not sent to prison
until the best legal talent in New
York city had exhausted every means
to save her $4,000 was raised by her
associates in the nefarious business
for her defense but when the supreme
court of the state upheld the lower
courts decision, the negress found
herself sentenced to prison for num-
Der of years.
Successful in Indian Service.
Mr.. Miller has had as great sue
cess in the Indian Service as he had
in the immigration service. During
the five years he had been employed
in the department ne had the nine
other special officers with their depu-
ties have secured the conviction Of
37OO persons for selling liquor to In
dams and have destroyed over mill
lion and a half bottles of intoXicants.
That he is kept extremely busy by the
duties of his office Is attested by his
record since leaving Pendleton just
after the Roundup. In this month
| Just past he has secured one convic-
| ton in Seattle bound over six Of
! Tenders to the grand jury in Tekoa,
six in Missoula, eighteen in Spokane
and has just filed eight cases in Lew
iston. OF all the cases which he has
instituted in this time, only seven
have been dismissed for lack of suf'
ficent evidence. He leaves tonight fol
Portland and must double back tC
Spokane tomorrow and his mex
month promises to be as busy as hi
last one for he has 67 cases pendin!
in the federal courts, three in the su
preme courts and seven in the stat
courts of Oregon, Washington, Idah'
and Montana.
Life Fraught With Danger.
That his occupation is a precariou
one as well as a strenuous one
proved by the fact that five of tn
ten special officers originally EN-
ployed in the Indian service five year
ago have been killed in the perform
ance of their duties and Mr.. Mile
declares he has never succeeded i
getting a life insurance policy fror
any company because of the DANCE
of his calling.

Mr.. Miller is accompanied on hi

the country as the Indian sleuth, an
