DANIEL sEAvEy couNrERFElTER.
And His Pretty Sister Bound Over in the
U. s. Court-Rather a Peculiar Couple.

The case of Daniel W. Seayey and his
alleged sister, charged with counterfeit.
ing silver dollars, came up in the United
States Court yesterday afternoon. Gen.
G. P. Mattocks appeared for Seavey,
who waived examination and the couple
were bound over to the next term of the
Circuit Court at Bangor, which convenes
next Tuesday. Seavey was held in $1,000
bail which he could not furnish and his
sister was held in $500.
A cousin of the Seaveys, middle aged
woman, was present and offered to go to
Norway to get Seavey's father or uncles
to come down and help him. There was
good deal of discussion az to how to
raise the wherewithal to travel.
The brother and sister originally came
from Bethel. There is something rather
peculiar about them. They have been
travelling together throughout the west,
evidently living on their wits or py
counterfeiting. They both claim tha'
they are full blooded brother and sister.
and their similarity of countenanoe
strongly indicate that they are. SeaVey
is large, well-built, healthy looking
young man, and not Unlocking In the
face. He is 81 years old.
HIS sister is small, but plump and
pretty. She is rather neatly and stylish
~ dressed.
They have been living in one room and
to every appearances like man and wife.

The Black range. (Robinson, Socorro County, N.M.) 1882-1897, 1896-12-11

Washington, Dec.-Senor De Lone,
Spanish minister, received a cable dis
patch from Havana which seems to
bear out the press report of the death
of Antonio Macea and young Gomez.
1t says IN substance, that after the en-
gagement near Mariel, Monday, both
bodies were found on the field which,
from the clothing and papers found
upon them are taken to be those Of
Maceo and his young companion. Sec
ond Secretary Diaz Albertini, the only
member of the junta now IN the city,
expressed the opinion that the story
bad no basis in truth and was sent
out for the sole purpose of influencing
and If possible defeating action by the
congress of the United States. 1T is
really amusing" he said, "to learn that
Maceo wore silk socks containing his
initials worked in red silk, and that his
linen and that of the younger Gomez
were marked with initials. Neither of
thse men have worn linen shirts and
silk socks for many a day. Then notice
the letter to young Gomez. The Cub
an, in writing to his child, never signs
his name as this letter was signed, M
Gomez He would have signed Your
Father The United States and Span
iards, too, will soon learn that Maceo,
is very much alive"
