for Horses.
The aristocracy of the Osage Indians IN
the Indian Territory are looking Tor
ward to the marriage Of Mary Corndrop-
per, the only daughter of eX-Chief Frank
Corndropper, with great pleasure. Ac-
cording to a custom in vogue among
the Osagcs from time immemorial, she
will be sold 20 the highest bidder, the
compensation being made in ponies.
Chief Corndropper, owing to his former
official capacity, is one of the best known
Indian braves in tie territory. OF course
he and his wife are full-bloods, and as
only full-bloods can intermarry in this
tribe only that class of Osages will be
allowed to bid for the girl. Mary is an
exceptionally good looking squaw: she is
twenty-thrce years old, but has not
muon education. She has been twice
before sold in marriage, and because of
her beauty brought ''heaps Of ponies
both times. Her first husband was Tall
Chief, who paid 400 ponies. John Logan,
a prominent member of the Usage cour-
ell. was the second husband, and he paid
300 ponies Both marriages proved TN
happy, and separation followed. This
is why she is TO be put upon the block
