JUDGE SEP, OF PACToLl
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 tine "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 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 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 q
hotel and q general merchandise
business. He was always promi-
nent in public affairs and always
ready to further anything that
would add to the advancement oil
the towu he loved so we'll. Some
years ago he moved to Pactola,
where he had long had extensive
mining interests, and conducted q
general merchandise business. 1t
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 tina,
he died by his own hand.

OF THIS OFFENCE
WILLIAM kALksREnnER 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 o 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, lowing to the season, and that
be would buy them a bottle if he
had a half dollar. The boys at first
demurred but finally one of them
produced the coin and Divet went
across the street toward saloon,
telling the boys to wait for him
back of the building. He joined
them in short time and gave them
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 o wisdom with
which one would hardly credit them

the bottle intact to Superintendent
House of the Indian school who
took the boys and the bottle to

rant was issued for "John Doe" and

day.

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 already
tried a case on the day previous
they were competent to try the
case. The judge did not sustain the
objection.

SOUTHERN HILLS

The Cuyahoga mine, which is Sit
uated about half way between Key
stone and Custer, is very promis-
ing property and large amount of
development work has been done on
it during the past winter. Mr..
Gira, who has charge of the mine,
recently talked with the editor of
this department and gave him the
following information:
The company has large acreage
near what is known as Iron noun
tain. There is an ample water sup
ply, plenty Of timber and good
road has been constructed from the
Custer road to the mine. The prop
erty has for its most important ore
body, a large body of low grade
gold ore, similar in occurrence and
appearance to the Homestake ore.
But 10 addition, at one side is de-
post of graphite of excellent quail
ity. And beyond this is a narrow
view Of copper ore, sufficiently rich
to be shipped, which carries gold
values as we'll. The company pro-
poses to put in machinery at once to
work this graphite deposit and pre-
pare the graphite for the market.
Probably, too, the copper will be
mined and shipped to the smelter
And a little later it Is the intention
to erect a 100 stamp mill and cy-
anide plant and begin operations on
the low grade gold ore. Mr.. Gira
says that work on the mill will
be begun before the summer is over
Several experts, who have exam
ined this property, have pro-
nounced it most promising prop
osition, and all the development
work that has been done so far has
fully borne out this opinion.
