place he suddenly struck muddy roads
and water was standing in the ponds

farmers were plowing and all nature
looked refreshed. Two miles further

marriage wherein an Indian and white

at the home Of the Rev. Murdock Sat-
urday morning before . crowd Of men.
The ceremony performed by Rev
erend Murdoch was short, containing
all the vows and promises ~ In any
other ceremony. As the Indian was
unable TO speak word of English and
the preacher just rs bad OF about the
Indian language an interpreter was
necessary. This marriage seems Pc
culiar to ms. for, as we said before, he
cannot speak word Of English, and
she to add her share to the predica-
ment, cannot speak word of Indian.
His name Is Three Striker, and is an
old bachelor, whom IL Is said Is too
cranky for an Indian woman to live
with. The woman we do not know,
but heard she has been working around
the Indian camp for some time. Three
Striker was dressed in customary black
and looked very handsome for an old
bachelor. Mrs. Three Striker was
dressed like the old time country gals
Of Kansas and looked as sweet As q
