was married a short time ago at
Versailles, N. Y, to full-blooded
Senaca Indian, who has in some
manner or other got hold of the
name of Nathaniel Patterson and
appropriated it to his own use.

pleasing to her family, and they
endeavored to keep the matter quiet.
The ubiquitous newspaper man
heard of it and proceeded to inter
view Mrs. Cox, the young lady's
mother. When first approached she
declined to say anything about the
matter, but she finally admitted the
marriage. Mrs. Cox said she knew

dams in general, good Indian. He
is well-to-do farmer, and is said
to be honest, sober and industrious.
In addition he is also said to be re.
markably good looking, and it is
probably due to the latter fact that
he owes his success in winning a
white wife. Miss Cox is described
as being very pretty girl twenty.
