English Girl Comes Seven Thousand
Miles to Meet Her Lover.
Dr. E. Buchanan, .+be physician of the
Tualip Indian agency, is al the Occi-
dental hotel with his wife. The doctor
has Just returned from the Lumni reserva-
ton. where he has been to witness the
marriage Of the master of the Indian
school there, d. II. B. Evans, TO Miss
Frances Underwood. The bride is
young English woman, who has
come ali the way from London TO
meet and marry her lover. He Is
a Weishman by birth, but he has lived in
this country ever since he was 5 or s years
old. -Four years ago Mr.. Evans made
visit to the old country, and while there
he met Miss Underwood. who is a bright,
pretty girl OF good family. The young
couple became attached to each other, and
though marriage at that time seemed
inadvisabie. they kept ups 4 lively cor
respondence after Mr.. Evans returned to
America.
The result is that a month or two ago
Miss Underwood decided to renounce her
London home. and she has SINCE travelled
ZOO miles TO Lammi, the Indian reserva-
ton lying in the northwest corner OF the
United States, bounded on the west by
Puget sound. and within few miles Of
the Canadian border.
The wedding took place April q in the
little Catholic church on the reservation.
The Indian school children had trimmed
the altar with flowers. erected 8 floral arch
at the door and had also decorated with
evergreens the schoolmaster's house.
DR.. Buchanan gave the bride away, and
the wedding was as perfect in its way as if
it had been held in st. Paul's Cathedral
itself. After the ceremony spread was
prepared to which all the Indians in the
reservation were invited. There was feast
ing for several hours, and everybody had
enough to put him in good humor.
''Neyer saw a happier couple in my life. ;"
said Dr. Buchanan last night.

HIS HOUSE HIS PYRE.
PECULIAR DEATH OF WIN. KNIGHT
AT GOLD CREEK.
Was it Suicide or Accident :-The Cor
oner's Inquest-The Body Not
Entirely Consumed.

Coroner Weldon went out early yester-
day morning to Burbank and eighteen
miles further up into the Little Tejunga
at Gold creek, to investigate the cause
of the death of William knight, which
was mentioned in yesterdays papers.
The name was published yesterday as
Mack, but his true name was Knight.
The coroner reached home last night
with the result of the inquest. Knight
was burned up in house upon ranch
in the mountains, which he was taking
care of. The examination OF the prem
ises caused a REIMBURSEMENT of the
theory of murder, and the jury was
divided between the ideas of suicide and
accident.
A portion of the remains was not
consumed by the fire. The head, arms
and legs were burned away. That por-
tion remaining was found in the ruins
over the epot where the bed stood, and
it was thought that possibly the old
man was lying on the bed asleep when
the house caught fire, and was soon in q
blaze. A neighbor had ridden by the
house a few minutes before the fire
occurred, and everything was as peace
ful as usual.
knight was man about 80 years of
age, native of Maine. and had lived on
the ranch several months. He was q
widower. although report was received
yesterday that his wife is still living
and is an inmate of house of ill-fame
in this city.
