MARRIED. by AN INDIAN.
Perhaps the Most singular Of nil the Recent
suits for Divorce.

Mary Ann Davis's suit for divorce from
Samuel II. Davis was dismissed by Judge Van
Brunt, yesterday, his Honor saying that Mrs.
Davis was more entitled to the sympathy OF the
court than Mr.. Davis. there being no doubt
that when she was married to Mr.. Davis she
supposed that she had tho legal right to do so.
and did It innooently, communicating TO him
all the facts In relation to the marriage In the
Indian Territory. The only question Of fact was
the determination OF the character OF the cere-
mony which was performed In the Indian Ter
ritory, in October, 1859, between Mrs.
Davis aad J. NJ. Taylor, at which the
Indian preacher ofhciated. and which was per-
formed 10 the presence OF Pomp," Mrs. Daviss
sister.
u.appearod that Mre. Davis was then widow,
bayins been married TO m n named Vance.
who was then dead that her sister "Pomp"
was married to Col. Taylor; that Col TAYLOR
lor and that he lived with his family at BON
ham. Tex. The married sister was extremely
desirous that her sister should be married 10 J.
NJ. la lor, aud she had promised to do 80 within
two years. The sister. not content with that
promise, desired that some ceremony should
doubt Of hor being Tsylor's wife after her
sisters death. The ceremony was not per-
formed IN Texas because 1t could not be
Kept q secret. which was considered neces-
sarv. They left Bonham for the ostensible
purpose Of going to the river, sixteen miles dis
iant, to pick nlums. They met at the liver J.
NJ: Taylor, who had gone from Bonham by an.
other route. without picking any plums. Tav-
lor and the two sisters at crossed the river.
and continued their journey In the Indian Ter
ritory until they arrived at - log cabin Inhabited
by man who preached to the Indians. The
but she said that sne old not intend No be
binding, bera ause they gave false names, and the
preacher was not an ordained minister. Her be-
ef as TO the effect OF false names, Judge Van
Brunt says. IA an 1red by Others " In fact, said
he, ! recolioct that one Of the English novelists
has made the plot OF his novel turn upon the
fact that marriage was void because the hus-
band was married under an assumed name"
His Honor comes to the conclusion that a
marriage per rerid In present., and not a mar
rage per rerbd IN ftturO. as Is now clamcd by
Mrs. Davis, vas performed, and ne regrets that
he has to come to decide that the marriage was
valid, and, Taylor being alive, the subsequent
IN. rrlage with Davis was void.
