the Sioux tongue, Mr.. Robe, Of the
Indian school, acting as interpreter.
Yesterday William Kalkbrenner
was brought to the bar Of justice
charged with the larceny of horses.
This is the second time the case has
been in court, the jury disagreeingl
the first time, two years ago.
The morning session was given
up to the states evidence. The
team in question was found at Gill
lette's barn in this city and claimed
by William Scott, whose rancho IL
miles east. Mr.. Scott's brand isan
a single bar, while Kalkbrenner's
brand is somewhat similar with the
addition OF a X. The horses when
found bore Kalkbrenner's brand,
but the state claims that it was al
tered from Scott's brand.
The case did not progress beyond
the presentation of States case and
will be continued today. Chauncey

JUDGE sE1P, OF PACToLA
DIES BY HIS OWN HAND
ONCE RESIDENT OF RAPID CITY
Was at One Time a Successful
Business Man and Promi-
nent Here

Last week the painful news Of the
death of Charles Seip by suicide was
telephoned to this Office from Silver
City. The death of Judge Seip
brings back flood of memories dear
to the hearts of all the "old timers "
in this city and the adjoing cities Of
the Hills. For no more faithful or
sincere friend ever lived than he,
and none was reader to extend a
helping hand in the hour of trouble.
The same generous good nature
and warm heartedness that made
him such a friend unfortunately led
him into convivlal habits that dur
ing the latter years of his life held
him in thrall. Undoubtedly the
deed by which his life passed into
the sphere Of the unknown was the
conclusion of a long conflict that
brought him at length to the point
where the one thought that bis
mind could held was that of rest
And to that rest death alone, to his
distrught brain, seemed the only
door.
Charles Seip was a native of Bal.
timore and came to the Black Hills
in the latter Seventies. He was es'
tablished at Rockford during the
boom days of the camp and later re
moved to this city where he ran 8
hotel and a general merchandise
business. He was always promi
nent in public affairs and always
ready to further anything that
would add to the advancement Of
the towu he loved so we'll. Some
years ago he moved to Pactola
where he had long had extensive
mining interests, and conducted 9
general merchandise business. II
was here that he was living when he
committed the rash act by which
his life was ended.
He was found sitting in his arm
chair and beside him lay the revol
yer that had fired the fatal shot
The coroner was notified and an in
quest held, the verdict being thai
he died by his own hand.

CHARLES Dewitt CONVICTED
OF THIS OFFENCE
WILLIAM kALkBREnnER ON TRIAL
Horse Stealing Case on Which
Jury Disagreed Two
Years Ago

Wednesday almost the courts en-
tire day was taken up with the trial
of Charles Divet, accused OF selling
intoxicating liquors to an Indian.
Divet is man of no particular
business and on the tenth of last
January he met with two boys OF
the Indian school, Edward Lutte
shield and Afford Bear, on
Main street. This is according to
the testimony of the Indian boys.
They said further that he suggested
that little whiskey would be CRATE
full, owing to the season, and that
he would buy them q bottle if he
had half dollar. The boys at first
demurred but finally one of them
produced the coin and Divet went
across the street toward a saloon,
telling the boys to wait for him
back OF the building. He joined
them in a short time and gave them
a bottle OF what purported to be
whiskey although it was evident
that the potency of the fire water
had been somewhat reduced with
essence of Rapid Creek took a
drink himself and departed.
The boys with wisdom with
which one would hardly credit them
declined. to paatake and brought
the bottle intact to Superintendent
House of the Indian school who
took the boys and the bottle to
States Attorney Gardner. A war
rant was issued for "John Doe" and
Diver was arrested on the following
day.
Divet on his part testified that he
was at home at the time the sale OF
whiskey was alleged to have oc
Cured and backed his own state
ment by that of his sisters. The
saloonkeeper. and other persons
who were in the saloon at the time
mentioned swore that they did not
remember of Divet's having pur-
chased any whiskey at that time.
An interesting legal sparring
match was INDUCED in by G. l..
Wood, the defendants attorney,
and the States attorney at the be-
ginning of the trial. Mr.. Wood OBJ
jected to the jury on the ground
that the jury list was improperly
drawn; that it did not contain the
200 names required by law and that
t had not been properly received
and contained names of persons
who were dead or no longer resi-
dents Of the county. Mr.. Gardner
argued that inasmuch as the jury
had been sworn in and had alread '
tried a case on the day previous
they were competent to try the
case. The judge did not sustain the
objection.
