\ Marriage mud - Death.

Some time ago Edgar Sweetlanh, a
we'll known man Of thus city, and n mnn
Of steady habits, fell in love with mn In
dian girl who was employed by Is family
in this city. Tho girl i'll question was
known rs Minnie Rubin, and was a girl
who attracted attention wherever she
went ON account of her unusual beauty,
The fact that she had white blood, almost
hid the darker blood OF her race, and
had her birth not been known to many
she would have passed for "A Caucasian,
Many people who saw her in tho every
day pass ~ life, did not know TINT she
POSSESSED tho rich blood Of the Indian.
The course OF love did not run
opposition when marriage was proposed.
First the parents OF the American boy
offered ~ObjecuoD. but when il was decided
to pass this by and taking life's hopes
in hand and marry without consent,
there was another barrier in the way
TINT OF the law. Ii was found that tho
law forhihe the marrying of the white
and the Indian, and the County Clerk
had to refuse Il permit Of license. Sev.
eral attempts wore made to secure u
license to marry as both parties wo rc
willirg,b but the law said no and the cere
muuy could no, br performed.

W. B. HORD FILES CLAIM
HE SUES THE STATE OF INDIANA TO
RECOVER $4,000.
Proceedings Based ON the Payment of
the states War Claim by the Gov
ernment-COurt News.

William Il. Hord, who formerly prac-
ticed law in this city, and is now living in
New York. asks that the State of Indiana
be compelled to pay him $4,000 for collect
ing the $4,000 war claim against the
federal government. in a suit filed yester-
day in the Superior Court.
1t was set out in the complaint, which
was filed by Addison c. Harris, that in
March, 1899. Hord was employed by Lewis
7. Kitchener, former attorney general of
the State, to collect Indiana's war claim.
The claim amounted TO $4,000 and Hord
claims that BY the act of the Legislature
under which he was employed he is en-
titled to 10 per cent. He went to- Washing
ton and presented the claim to Congress
and finally on Feb. il, 1902, Congress passed
law legalizing the payment of the claim
by the Treasury Department.
HoTd further alleges that when the case
was practically won William l.. Taylor,
at that time attorney general of the State,
denied the right of Hord to handle the
case and that the case was then taken
out of his hands. 1t is asserted that he was
at all times ready TO carry out his contract
with Kitchener and that as the claim was
settled through evidence produced by him
he is entitled to recover.
1t is understood that the claim filed by
Hord includes the per cent. for services of
Kitchener and Dudley, Washington attor-
neys
The money was paid promptly by the fed
eral government and the sum applied
10 the State debt last year.
