INDIAN WIVES.

Important Case Involving q Largo
Eorrune-Is an Indian Traders Ten.
porury Union With a Squa:v q Legal
Marriage?
Some months ago Mrs; Troost,o Kansas City,
died, leaving great deal Of property to be de-
voted to public uses. Amolg other beqnests,
there were made in her will provisions for the
erection OF q grand opera house, church and
seminary, and park, and for other purposes :,
The following, from the Kansas City Journal
of Commerce, summarizes the legal questions
that will have to be settled by the Supreme
Court, which will determine the rights
Of heirs who may be the issue Of virtual mar
riages not recognized by law:
The case in which the Indian children Of the
late YIN. Gilliss have asked that this will be set
aside in their favor was decided at Warrensburg,
Saturday last, in the Circuit Court OF that
county, before Judge McGaughey, before whom
it was taken from this county On a change OF
venue.
Mr. Gil1iss, one OF the first settlers Of this
city, at his death its most wealthy citizen, died
bachelor, as supposed by everybody, and left MS
property to his niece, Mrs. 1Toost, WHIP, dying
recently, left tie estate mainly to public uses,
which fact gives it q wider interest to our cl1'-
Zens.
Mr. Gil1ias, in the early part Of his Life, in
fact much OF it, WAS an Indian trader, and, Ake
mauy more such, had what they called Indian
case might be, according to the Indian custom,
bv whom he had Indian Children born to
him.
These Indian children set up their claims as
the legal heirs Of William Gilliss, and BY them
suit vas brought to set aside the will. The case
was tried before jury.
The case turned upon the question ns to
whether the Indian customs, in such matters,
constituted such q marriage as the laws Of the
country could take cognizance of, and enforce
as legal and binding in all respects.
In this respect the case becomes one Of great
intereft to this portion of the country, as Mis-
sou1i, Arkansas, Texas, Iowa, Minnesota, Mich
igan. Wisconsin, Kansas, Nebraska, and al the
Territories have parallel cases without number.
It may become the case On which this question
for all the Western country will turn.
Tho jury decided in favor Of the Indian heirs,
and the will ia thus set aside. OF course it will
be appealed, and ne will have the opinion Of the
higher Courts before the matter is finally deter
mined.
Locally, it interests all our citizens, as the
new opera house, the church, the seminary, and
the park, have al to wait the slow processes Of
the law before they can, il ever, be- realized.
The decision also affects the condition Of very
valuable property which has come into the pos
session Of the estate since the death OF Mr. Gil
liss.

sinking OF a steamship.


DIR. Maclennan, who was surgeon Of the ill
iatod steamship Colorado, which was run into
and sunk by the Arabia, off Liverpool, on tho
7th, gives the following account OF .he
calamity:
"We had about two hundred persons, in
Guiding the crew, on board the Colorado when
we left Liverpool, on the 9Th February
When we were about fifteen miles out from
that city, at ten O'Clock, p. M, heavy fog
arose. While we were moving slowly along
we heard the noise Of another steamer appa.
renily moving directly toward us. The en-
gines were reversed, and we made every effort
to get clear of her Gradually the vessel hove
in view, aud we recognized her as the Arabia.
She bore down upon our vessel and cut hole
in her side twenty feet in length
"'The passengers crowded the upper deck,
and confusion ensued. The captain and OIL

all be saved but many rushed to the liteboats
and quickly filled them. A passenger, in his

Of women and children were crowded, let 60

went 10 their rescue, but two children and an
aged woman were lost.
"The captain, supposing that the vesst
could reach Liverpool in safety, directed the
engineer to put on full head of steam, ant
started to return TO the city. The passengers
llstrustful of such venture, remained OF
deck shouting and praying, almost paralyzet
with fear at every lurch of the vessel
