MoNTRosE GIRL kiDNAPs HER.
SELF AND is FOUND IN DELTA

Miss Alice Miller, daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. j. w. Collins, kidnapped her.
self Sunday night by hiring herself
an auto and having it take her to
Delta accompanied by her friend, Miss
Tuttle, and a young man friend Of the
latter.
Miss Miller was staying at the home
of Judge Parkinson and she planned
very neatly to make it appear that
she had been kidnapped by her father,
N. H. Miller. of Cimarron. She left
the Parkinson home after seven
o'clock by crawling out of the window.
She was fully dressed, except that she
left her stockings in order to make
it appear that she had been compelled
to dress hurriedly. Outside the win
dow was dropped a handkerchief on
which had been printed in common
ink, H. N. M" the initials of her
father. This was supposed to lead
her mother and stepfather to the con-
by her father.
When called into the case by Mr..
and Mrs. Collins Monday morning,
Marshal Afford was not long in un-
raveling the story. He found that an
auto had driven up near the window
and stopped suddenly a short time pre-
vious. Armed with this fact, together
with the handkerchief and stockings,
he was not long in locating Miss Tut
tie, who at first denied all knowledge
of the affair. but later admitted that
she had accompanied Miss Miller to
Delta and left her at a rooming house.
Miss Miller paid for the auto and she
said she was going to Utah.
Marshal Afford phoned the sheriff
at Delta to hold Miss Miller and he
went down there Monday afternoon
to bring her back home.-Montrose
