SCOU'I
An Omalia Vixiloi * Who Took Part til
t hiIjiilc Indian War ,
Hugo Miller , a younggentlcmatiof brilliant
parts , In wlinm ( iiitoral Miles very advantageously -
tagoously reposed the grc.itestcoiitldcnceas a
scout durliig the recent Indian trouble In the
vicinity of Titio Uiilge agency , was among
the over Sunday I'liusts in Omalia yestord.iy.
Kew , if any , young mon with a similar
commission have proven themselves s > o
serviceable to the government during so
brief u time as Mr. Miller , nnd tbo fact Ls
ono in which ( lOtieral Miles seams to take
the utmost satisfact ton. Ho successfully
performed some of the most hazardous mis
sions necessitated duilng the campaign , and
for many I'rafons not necessary to mention
he probably bad a deeper Insight Into the
working ol'alTiiirs than any ottier limn simi
larly employed.
Althoui.-h"josnir ! , Mr. Miller has a lively
history. lie is aYlcvrmnd , 0. , boy. 'J'lireu
years ago he started for the country , armed
with plenty of cash and a letter of iiinplo
credit , and ir.nny of the chntMcterijtif.s
ascribed to Mr. Ilaniesof New York by the
novelist. Ho stopped at the town of Lan
ders , in Wyoming tortitory , where bo soon
became wo'l ' acquainted with the inhabitants
and the wild men of that vicinity. Ho was
robbed one dny and became coiivineod that
his money was in possession of a cow puncher
who was the chief terror of the
neighborhood. Tbo individual swiigt-erud
into town ono day. his long spurs jingling
behind hlsbig heeled hoots , u nroadsombrero
stuck hi-hind Ills e.irs und a small sized nr.se-
nal bristling nt his belt. Miller stopped him
unceremoniously on the street and accused
him of lliu thof t. The terror jerked two re
volvers from his bolt , nnd , covering Miller
with ono of then , pounded him over the
head with tlio other. Miller promptly pulled
n gun of serious inclinations und -tri-cnlibor
which spoke twice. The di-sporndo received
a bullet through the body uml another in his
loft arm. Miller surrendered to the local
authorities , who promptly turned him loose
upon n plea of justification. The terror had
been mortally wounded ,
Miller returned to Cleveland after having
seen whut fun the west could show
him , nnd for tlu last few months prior to the
Indian outbreak occupied himself with dn/-
iling thu tuh.ibit ants o f C'lovclnnd by the splen
dor nf his raiment.Vhon the Indians be
came ugly hu tii'ud of iho humdrum experi
ence of city llfo and caught the western lever
In a virulent form. Obtaining n coinmissiun
us scout under ( lOin'rnl Miles1 ho headed for
the sent of tronbUt , with the result noted.
Ho is tlio possessor of consiilerablo property ,
the income of which only is at his command.
With as ti e nn education as any young man
in the land , bo has nn exceedingly bright fu
ture before hiin , particularly in view of his
haying maJosuohoxccllentuso of the oppor
tunities atlorded ntulcr General MHos.
Very naturally , indeed , Mr. Mil lor Is greatly
avcrsed to siiymg much regarding the situa
tion at Pine Uldgo. Ho did say , however ,
that the recent delegation of Indians to
Washington returned to the ajjonc.v dissutis-
lioil nnd disgruntled , nnd tnat m bis opinion
( hero will probably be more war in the spring
