Seldom are Inhabitants OF the
upper peninsula Of Michigan afford
ed au opportunity Of witnessing the
marriage Of one OF royal birth, but
such chance came when the Prin-
cess Nabawisic became the bride OF
Amable Ance, the last great medi-
cine man Of the now almost extinct
Huron tribe.
The marriage ceremony proper
was performed at Pine River. q
small Indian settlement twenty-five
miles from st. Ignace, by the vener:
able Father Gsgnieur, Jesuit
missionary. The princess is 9 his
toric personage. For almost half
ce.tury she has proved herself a
friend to the missionaries who have
labored among her people. In her
tribe she is greatly loved aud hon.
cred, and as 10 the days gone by the
medicine man is still q parsonage of
much prestige.
The wedding was lacking in saw
age splendor, for the Indians OF the
Lake Superior region long since
discarded native costumes and have
readily adapted themselves to mod.
ern apparel, However, many OF
the ancient customs and rites we're
adhered TO. Before the vows we're
uttered the couple beto6k themselves
to the Indian graveyard and over
the grave OF the princess father
they plighted their troth. Then
followed the ceremony OF the tour
winds,in which they invoked in turn
the north wind, the east wind, the
south wind and the west wind to
shower them with the choicest gifts.
After the religious ceremony came
the marriage feast, at which we're
served all the delicacies Of the forest
Then came the ancient Indian songs
and dances, during the course OF
which the medicine man from
time to time threw OF bis years and
led ID the intricate figures with re-
uiarkabfe grace sudabandon. Next
followed more feastipg and drink
ing. Thus the festivities continued
until the darkness Of the pightpale
before the dawn.

BAD MONEY ATLoAT.
Said That Counterfeit Coins Are Mum.
erous in Upper Peninsula.

It is reported that many counter.
felt nickels are in circulation in the
upper peninsula. The nickels bear
the date of 1883, though they are
probably of much more recent coin
age. In size they are identical with
those issued by Uncle Sam and their
appearance is calculated to deceive
an expert, but they are q little shy
on weight and they lack the clear
ring Of good money. They also have
a soapy feeling to touch. Within
the past few years the counterfeit
ing of small change has greatly in
creased while there has been q
marked decrease in the issuance Of
fake gold pieces and bank notes.
This is probably due to the fact that
the smaller denominations are much
easier to initiate. Gold pieces are
the hardest thing in the world to
counterfeit and. easiest to detect.
This is due to the fact that no metal
except those Of even greater value
approaches gold in weight. United
States bank notes are q hard thing
to conterfeit as they are in them
selves masterpieces of engraver Z
art, and toimitate them necessytates

TAKES HIS OWN LIFE.
Judson Kirby, q Yonth of II. Found
In a Ravlne tuesday With Bullet
Through HIS Heart.

Tuesday, about two o'clock in
the afternoon, the body of Judson
Kirby was found in a ravine about
two hundred yards south of the
Excelsior knitting mills commun-
ity. Mr.. Duff holland was OH,
hunting and came upon the grew
some find. The young man was
lying face downwards; nearby was
a 80 calibre revolver with one
chamber recently emptied. The
ball passed through the heart, and
must have caused instant death.
He was about II years old and
was full grown for his size. One
witness at the inquest testified that
he had heard Kirby talking of
committing suicide just before his
disappearance, which was a day
or two before his body was found.
He had evidently been dead for
many hours when found.

the Excelsior Knitting mills. Mr..
IOe Fore and his son WittSlay in
wait for Mr.. E. S. Trammell, over

department, prepared to kill him.
The trouble arose from the fact
that. the elder Fore, in a drunken
condition, went into the mill in the
afternoon and insulted some la
dies, who appealed to Mr.. Tram
nell to put Fore out. The former
demonstrated with the drunken
man, who seemed disinclined to
get out. In fact, he made open
attack upon Trammell. The latter
struck him over the head with a
spool and left the room. Fore
went home, got his gun and strap
ped belt Of cartridges around his
waist, enlisted his son Witt, and
started toward the mill. On the
way he stopped at Mr.. Whitener's
store and declared his intention to
Kill Trammell. Mr.. Whitener
cfosed his store, went and warned
the intended victim. Mr.. Tram
nell left the mill as usual and was
SSon his way home when accosted

they intended to kill him, and see
