KILLED
Was Mistaken For a Deer

John J. Miller, who lived about
three miles northeast of Fowlds, was
shot and instantly killed by a bullet
from a high power rife Thursday af-
ternoon. 1t is thought that Miller
was mistaken for deer by hunters.
Miller left his homestead at noon
and went into a cedar swamp to cut
wood. When he did not return at
the usual time, his brother, who liv-
ed with him, went into the woods to
search and came upon the cold body.
Coroner Ibertson was called and
made the trip yesterday but stated
this morning that the murderer was
not known
Miller is survived by three daugh-
tiers. One is married and lives in
South Dakota, a second is married
and lives near Fowlds, while the
third, Miss Cecilia Miller, is a teach
er in one of the Fowld's schools.
Both John J. Miller and Miss Cecilia
are we'll known in Bemidji.
