An Indian Heiress.

TEE FAMOUS ADDISON MowRY SUI, IN'oL-
VINO el,500,000 CALLED UP IN PITTS
BCRoH.
The famous suit OF the Indian heirs OF
Addison Mowry, to recover property in
Pittsburgh, Pa. valued at Sl,500,000, was
called for trial in the United States Cir
cult Court in that city recently.
A young half-breed girl and her mother,
who respectively claim TO be the daughter
and widow OF Mowry. are the claimants
for the greater portion OF the property.
A number OF Chippewa Indians were
present as witnesses. They were dressed
in civilized garb, with the exception OF
one, who, IN addition to his regular GUS
tom, wore iancifully leggings and regalia
and long brass earrings hanging from his
ears. The men were stllwart specimens
and show the effects OF civilization by
having allowed their whiskers to grow.
One OF the witnesses was woman very
pleasant-looking, and stylishly attired in
a black custom. Her hat was trimmed
with ostrich tips, and around her neck was
a fine silk scarf. All the Indians were
from the vicinity OF Saginaw City, Mich.
The first witness WAS the most i'm
portant one which the plaintiffs have.
Ills name is Seth Witey. He IS magis-
trate of Saginaw. lie Is an old man,
but lis mind is very clear. He said he
had cone fishing up the Saginaw river to
Grunpoint in 1857 with party OF friends.
On his way home he met Addison Mowry
and number OF squaws.
WEDDING PROPOSED.
Somebody proposed there should be a
wedding. and Mowry said he was willing
TO marry squaw named Straight Back,
who was the mother OF his child. The
wedding took place. Witey performed the
ceremony. He testified that he had for
gotten the circumstances until they were
recalled 10 his mind. He was told mar
riage.certiticate In his handwriting had
been found, testifying that Addison Mowry
and Straight Back had been married. THIS
certificate was given by Mowry to a friend
named Charles Rod, and 1t was recently
found among his papers. The certificate
was shown 10 the witness, and he identi-
fed il as being in his writing. He said, un-
der cross-cXalniDation, that some person
came to him and tried TO persuade him that
il was not Straight Back, but cousin OF
hers, who had been married to MoWry, but
he declared such was not the case. Other
Witnesses. among them the woman who
represents herself a. the person whom
Mowry married. corroborated Witey'S tes'
timony. The only question is the legality
of the marriage. The trial will probably
continue for a week or more. III. W. Weir
and Judge Marston, OF Michigan. appear
for the plaintiffs, aud Aessrs. George
Shirns. Jr.. Morrison Brothers, Sol. Schoy-
er, and X. b. Cashanan for the defendants.
1t is the prevailing opinion that, II the jury
do not yield to race preiudices, the Indian
girl VII win the suit.

A Boy Hangs Himself.

William Hessey, aged Il years, son OF
Harry Fl. Hessey, farmer residing near
Earleville, First district of Cecil county,
Md, hung himself with piece of rope
yarn from a gate, Tuesday evening.
When found life was extinct. He had re-
turned from school but short time be-
fore committing the act. The body hang
ing from the gate was first discovered by
a colored farm hand who, instead of first
releasing it, ran to the house for assistance.
Had he gone at once to the boy it might
not have been too late to resuscitate him.
The hanging is believed to have been ac-
cidental. It seems that number of boys
in that section have been in the habit of
''playing at hanging" by tying strings to
gates and fences, putting a moose at the
other end around their necks and jump
ing off the fence, causing the string to
break. The onl Y inexplicable thing about
this case is the hoy's failure to save him
self by his hands, which were free. He is
said to have been a boy of inquiring mind.
1t is related of him that having recently
read in newspaper of hanging, he asked
his mother many questions in regard to
how people felt when they were being
hanged. The death of this boy is blow
of peculiar sadness to the parents.
