TOO MUCH MATRIMONY
A Former Resident of Davenport Awaiting the Grand Jury at Emmetsburg

A special from Emmetsburg, Iowa, tells of the arrest at that place of N.H.
MILLER, a photographer, on the charge of bigamy.
It appears that he was formerly married at Beckmantown, New York, February
16, 1878, after which he moved to Davenport, Iowa, and lived with his family
and mother, during which time a little girl was born to Mr. and Mrs. MILLER.
>From Davenport, they moved to Des Moines, where they lived for one year,
after which they moved to Rock Island. They then moved to Cherokee, Iowa, in
1884. All this time Mrs. MILLER number one says that he used her well and
provided amply for his family. He employed as an assistant a young lady
named Helen ROSE. An intimacy arose between this woman and MILLER,
terminated in September, 1888, by an elopement.
MILLER produces a certificate of marriage with the woman dated Canton, South
Dakota, October 18, 1889, and a divorce obtained from his first wife in Bent
county, Colorado, October 8, 1889. The case against the couple seems quite
strong and they are bound over to the grand jury. The wronged wife has a
little girl and sympathy is with her.
