KING OF AMERICAN ISLAND
James Jesse Strang Really Was
Crowned and Had Dominion With
In the United States.

There frequently appears along
Chestnut street a professional beggar
who claims TO be Henry Strang, a son
OF Americas only king. His tale is
greeted as a huge joke, yet the story
he tells Is true, the only part of 1t
concerning which there may be any
doubt being his own connection
with 1t.
The kingdom he refers to was once
set up on Beaver island, in northern
Lake Michigan, and flourished for
some years. James Jesse Strang. a
prominent Mormon, had quarreled
with the leaders of his church, and in
1916 withdrew with a few followers
to that island. Other Mormons joined
the colony from time to time, and by
the winter of 1648 they were suffi-
GENTLY numerous to threaten control
of the island. On July s, 1850, Strang
was crowned king with elaborate Ger.
emonies. There was much contro.
versy between the Mormons and the
other inhabitants of the island, most
ly fishermen. While on a visit to De-
troit President Fillmore heard Of this
little kingdom within the domain Of
the United States. He sent an armed
vessel to Beaver island, and King
Strang was captured and tried for
treason. He conducted his own de-
tense and made such an eloquent plea
that he was acquitted. In 1850 he
was assasslnated.--Phila Rec.
