CHICAGO BURGLAR
KENOSHA BANK BOOK
States Attorney in Chicago Seeks In
formation in Regard to Bank Book
Supposed to Have Been Stolen.

Maclay Hoyne, states attorney IN
Chicago, is making some Investigations
in Kenosha to find just what relation
there was between a bank book issued
by one of the banks Of Kenosha and a
man held in connection with burglary
charges in Chicago. The man held is
not the man to whom the bank h~oi1
Lad been issued. The mar 70 whom
the bank book was issued IS widely
known in Kenosha but he has been re-
siding in Chicago for the past three or
four months. It is thought that pos
sibly the former Kenosha man was one
of the victims Of holdup men but the
bank issuing the book has no facts in
regard to the case. The bank book
showed sizeable deposit in the local
financial institution. The Chicago
state IS attorney has not taken the Ke-
nosha bankers into his confidence and
the details Of the case are not made

cLUN [. MILLER
TAKES Big JUMP
Former Kenosha Telephone
Man is Named Vice Presi-
dent of Guardian Life
Insurance Company.

C1un l. Miller. formerly manager for
the Wisconsin Telephone Company in
Kenosha and widely known to Kenosha
people, was elected vice president of
the Guardian Life Insurance Company
at the annual meeting of the company
directors in Madison on Thursday. He
has been named to have charge of the
agencies of the company throughout the
United States and he is to be one Of the
highest salaried officials of the concern.
Mr.. Miller has been with the COM
pany for only two years and he gave up
his work as the manager Of the Madison
Telephone Exchange to accept position
as agent for the company IN Madison.
His advancement has been unusually
rapid and he has grown to be known
as one Of the best known insurance
men In the state.
Got His Start in Kenosha.
It was only few years ago that
Miller was working as a construction
foreman with the telephone company.
After the organization of the Kenosha
Home Telephone Company local men
went to the Wisconsin company and
sought a man to organize and have
charge of the Kenosha exchange They
suggested Miller He was a great big
raw boned fellow who had recently re-
turned from service with the army in
the Spanish War and he took hold of
the Kenosha exchange and in short
time built it up until it was regarded
as one Of the best, If not the best, in
Wisconsin. His success in KenosAa
brought him prominently before the
telephone workers in the state. The
Wisconsin company grabbed him out of
Kenosha and took him into district
managers job and later placed him in
charge OF the important exchange at
Madison. His success at the Madi-
son exchange duplicated his success
in Kenosha.
He was made district manager for
the company with Offices at Madison
and he gave up this position to go with
the Guardian Life Company
Mr.. Miller s parents still make their
home in Kenosha.
