Attorney Ed. L. Grantham was gwen
a large claim against the United States
for collection a few days ago. 1t is for
100000 with interest at @ per cent from
the year 1865 to the present time. The
claim is held by a lady who resided
near Vicksburg during the war, and
whose plantation was raided by union
soldiers. She has the receipt of the
federal officer for the property taken,
and thinks the claim is a valid one. Ed
says he will make a desperate effort to
collect it, as he is promised half in case
he succeeds.

John Weston Nowlin.

The funeral services of Judge j.. w.
Nowlin, whose death at Rapid City on
Thursday, March 3lst, was chronicled
last week, were held at Rapid Sunday
afternoon, and the deceased was laid to
rest with Masonic honors.
The Journal speaks as follows Of the
life and death of this man, so we'll
known, and highly esteemed through
out the Black Hills:
ITO few men is given to fill so large a
place in the honor, affection and esteem
of the community in which they live as
did the gentleman whose decease is
here chronicled. Judge Nowlin was
well known throughout the Black Hills,
hut particularly in the counties of this
judicial circuit, and for months past
many have been the anxious inquiries
received concerning the possibility of
his overcoming the disease that had
fastened upon him. About the Christ
mas holidays his death was almost
hourly expected, but he rallied, and
even those most constant at his bedside
and who watched every change begun
to cherish the hope that there might
yet be years Of usefulness before him.
Thus, when the announcement was
made on the street yesterday that death
had come, it brought, with the general
grief il occasioned, an element of sur
prise that the end had so soon been
reached. That Judge Nowlin had little
share in the hope that he might recover
has for some time been apparent. Sew
eral months since with the assistance OF
c. l.. Wood, his schoolmate and lifetime
friend he carefully provided for the dis.
position of all his earthly effects. That
duty to the living accomplished, with a
mind calm, clear and ~untroubled he
turned his thoughts to another world.
To his last conscious hour his serenity
was unruffled. He grasped with pleas.
ure the hands of those who were ad
mitted to his bedside, and conversed
pleasantly and hopefully of whatever
concerned them. He seemed as one
who, having finished an allotted task
was pleased to spend a period of waiting
in the companionship of those whom he
long had known and esteemed. In this
community the death of Judge Nowlin
has created profound emotion. There
is scarce n of his acquaintance who
does not feel a sense Of personal bereaye
ment. Long will memory Of his noble
character survive.

Rapid City is nothing if not absolutely
and squarely to the fore in all things.
Two weeks ago the sensation of the hour
there was the Williams divorce case, an
account If which was published at the
time. At the trial, tables were turned
upon the migrate, Mr.. Williams, who
was plaintiff in the case, the court Civ
ingjudgment for defendant, Mrs. Will
Jams. The case was sensational from be.
ginning to end, which was that Mr..
Williams married the woman who he
was reported to have been intimate
with. Now the sensation of the hour
at Rapid is Of another character, the
interested n @ being a man formerly a
commercial agent, headquarters ia this
city, the oma wife of a prominent
business man of that place, but who was
a resident Of this city many years ago.
The details Of the affair are such as will
not look we'll in cold type, hence for the
present are suppressed.-Times.

II, 1852. Educated at Cornell college,
Mount Vernon, Iowa, from which insti-
tution he graduated in 1874. In Septem-
Der Of that year he went TO Iowa City.
In 1875 he graduated from the state
university with the degree of Ii. ID.
In the latter part of 1850 he visited Con.
cordia and other points in Kansas seek
ing a location for himself and c. L.
Wood, with whom he bad formed a law
partnership while attending the uni
versity. Not satisfied with Kansas he
returned home, and IN the spring of 1876
he drove a party overland To Yankton,
In that place and Bon Homme county
he remained for some months. In the
fall of 1876 he fled a pre-emption cisin
upon a quarter section Of land on which
the town of Tyndall is o located, but
later abandoned it. In the early spring
of 1876 he purchased IA freight outfit and
loaded at Yankton 70. Deadwood. Dur.
ing the summer ofthat year he freighted
on the Pierre road, finally in August
selling his outfit and establishing a Law
Office in Crook City. In April, 1873, he
came to Rapid City and opened a law
Office in partnership with c. l.. Wood.
In the fall Of that year he was elected
probate Judge for Pennington county,
and to this Office he was re elected in
1880. He served with honor and credit
in the legislature Of 1883 and 1884, hav-
ing been elected from the district then
comprising Pennington and Custer coun-
ties. During the session of 1883 Nowlin
county was named in his honor. He
was elected circuit judge under the pro-
v%isional state government in 1885 for
what was then called the First circuit,
embracing what are now known as the
Seventh and Eighth circuits. In 1889
he was elected judge of the Seventh cir
cult, and took his Office on the adj
mission of the state in November ofthat
year. He had occupied the bench until
November /, 1891, when he resigned on
account of failing health.
Judge Nowlin's first serious illness
came on in January, 1886, and late in
February of that year he went to Ari.
zona and California. He returned in
June. and, QUILTING with team and
spring wagon, drove or an extended
trip to Texas, New Mexico and Arizona.
While in Socorro, New Mexico, in Sep
tember, 1886, his law partnership with
G.. L. Wood was dissolved, the dissolu-
ton to take effect on the first of Janu-
AIRY, 1887. He returned here about July
1. 1887, coming as he went, by team,
lived on his Rapid valley ranch the re-
mainder Of the summer, and in the fall
resumed the practice of his profession
in Rapid City which he continued until
elected to the bench.
He was married in Chicago in Janu-
airy, 1882. to Mrs. Clara NJ. Kerr. One
son was born to them. This son, Wes-
ton. survives, aged eight years. In
