TABOOING TRIBAL MARRIAGES

Among the June weddings that
created interest at the office of the
Clerk of the Superior Court, where
Cupid reigms, was that of Kate Croz-
ier, Wallapai Indian of more than
ordinary intelligence, and Fannie
Beecher Kate and Fannie had long
been married according to the GUS
tom of the Wallapais, but Kate be-
gam to amass some property, and be-
lieving that the disintegration of
the tribal relations of the Wallapai
tribe was near ait hand, and that the
children might be done out of the
property i'm the event of his death,
he concluded to legitimatize these
children so that they might inherit
the property without question.
The marriage custom of the Walla-
pals is rather simple, and the bride
usually has mo say in; the matter. The
groom to be approaches the parents
of the young lady he would fain
make his bride and after considerable
haggling a price would be agreed
upon and the daughter would be sent
over to the tepee of her purchaser.
While some of the young squaws
would rebel against the sale they us
ually had to conform to the GUS
tom. The squaws are sold when
very young, the RULING age being less
than twelve years. The price ranges
from $500 for princesses of the
blood ito few dollars, or a horse or
blanket for less favored girls In only
few instances do the Indians go
outside of their own tribe for a
bride, as this custom has been frown-
ed upon by matchmaking mothers
and especially as the intercourse OF
The tribe is very limited, and the
opportunity rs not given the younger
members to get acquainted with the
desirable young women of another
nation of Indians, although they may
reside within hundred miles or
less from each other.
To illustrate the providence c
