FORCED TO UNITE
A YOUNG COUPLE.
Deputy Collector Ross Compelled
by M ners at Circle City to Per-
form a Marriage Cerem mony.

form Marri age Cerem ony.
TACOMA, Oct. 24.-George w. Ross,
deputy collector OF customs at Circle CITY,
was compelled by a miners meeting to
marry couple last spring against his
will, and though he had no authority to
perform such ceremony. Ross IS Just out
and says:
miners at Circle City have queer ideas
as to the duties OF an officer of the Govern
ment in that country. Last spring they
were called upon to settle case between
one of their number and a young woman.
and, TO do full justice to the latter for The
wrong she had sustained. it was decided
that the man must marry her. There as
no one in the country authorized to per-
form the ceremony, so the miners came 10
me and told me TO do it. | tried to ex-
plain that as deputy collector 1 was no,
vested with authority to marry people,
and declined. The miners sim ply insisted
that l should, and. when l still refused,
ordered me to do il, as / was the only off,
cial in the county,, and the mandate OF
the miners court had to be carried out
''To satisfy them | drew up a contract
in writing setting forth that both the man
and woman agreed to become husband
and wife. This was signed by the parties,
duly witnessed, and then swore the con-
tracing parties to the truth of the same
and affixed my seal to the certificate. 1t
was only q contract marriage, but it took
with the miners, and since then other par
ties who wanted TO get married were will
ing 10 do SO by the same formula. and the
business proved quite remunerative.
yukon miners have decisive way of
treating those who have proved dishonest.
When man is charged with stealing, the
charge is carefully inquired into by mi
ners' committee. II the guilt o the man
is prov d, he is not sent to jail or strung
up. Instead. he is furnished with an out
fit sufficient to carry him out of the coun-
try and told to go and never come back
He never returns. There has been no
stealing at the mines. One could leave

curity, but how that the rush has COM
