He was riding a pinto pony, Polestar, and expected to stop over night at Babylon. He is following the Montauk Highway across Long Island and is in no hurry. He departed from Patchogue at 8:30 last night, with some- thing of a ceremony.He is carring letters from residents of Patchogue to friends in the West and also has a letter from Mayor WALKER to the Mayor of Sacramento. MILLER, who is 78 years old, explained that he is making the trip to revive his memories of the old West and to renew old acquaintances if he can find any of them. He was born in California and began riding horses soon after he learned how to walk.H e worked as a cow-hand and horse-wrangler as a youth and young man and finally joined Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show as a contest rider.Later he was with ''Pawnee Bill' and then went back to the Cody organization. About thirty years ago he arrived in Glen Falls with Buffalo Bill show. At that time the Spier Falls Dam project, which was to furnish electric power to the Northern Hudson Valley, was nearing completion and Col.Eugene L.ASHLEY, president of the Hudson River Water Power Company which built it, conceived the idea of a mounted patrol to prevent vandalism on the line and also to report breaks.
