His first wife dead, and deserted by his. second wife, Miller hoped to reach his cousin, the only relative of whom he knows. Authorities were expected to try to get in touch with tha cousin. Miller was taken to the hospital Saturday; in an exhausted condition, after he had been found at E. Washington St. and Butler Ave., by Motorpolicemen Graham and Metivier. Strange Story The old man related a strange story of his life during the last eight years. “I left Pennsylvania, about eight years ago with my wife and we went to Peabody, Kan.,” MiWr related. . “I don’t know exactly where we lived in the East but it was somewhere on the Junietta River near Newport. My wife died in Dodge City. Kan., while I was working on the Sante Fe Railroad, about three years after we left Pennsylvania. “I couldn't keep up the hard work on the road and so I rented a farm just south of the city and took up the wprk I had left off in Pennsylvania. “I met a, nice woman in the city about two years later and she was lonely, so we got married that month. Went With Man , ‘One day a man, whom I never' had seen beSdbe. came to the barn and said, ‘Miller you are lookin’ rather bad. You had letter come to ( Yny hospital and let me cure you.’ **• “I was feeling bad too, so I went with him in his car to Wichita and he made life drink from a small bottle. S “I woke u pin a long room with lots of wlute beds sometime later. He kept me for several days and then turned me loose. I was weak as a cat. He had robbed me of $72. "When I finally wandered back to my farm, l found my wife and her father had left with all of m> belongings. “I couldn't think clearly, hut the thought that if I could only got back to my daughter in Pennsylvania 1 would be all right. So I headed east on foot. Miller told how he “Caught rides” in automobiles and slept in police stations at nightr He ate at farm-

SUBJECT American Legion Official Speaks Before 1. A. R. Chapter. “At least 7^per cent of the people of Indianapolis display the flag of the United States incorrectly/’ declared Frank C. Cross, directs of the National Americanzatlon Commission of the American I/egion in an address Monday afternoon before the Coraloino Scfott Harrison chapter, D. A. R., which held a filag day celebration at 6093 N. Meridian St. "An actual count made along Meridian St. on Memorial day showed forty-seven flags incorrectly hung in twenty-seven blocks,” he continued. "The most frequent en-or Is in suspending the flag from the roof of a porch parallel to the street. In this position the Union or blue field always should be in the'upper left--hand corner as one feces the flag from the street. The next most frequent mistake is in draping the flag. The flag^never should be draped from a building or over an automobile. Flags carried on automo--biles always should be flown from a staff.”
