KNIFE, RATCHET, SKELETON
MAY MARK SCENE OF TRAGEDY

Rapid City. S. D., Jan. 16.-While
prospecting on the head waters OF
Spring creek. in the western section
of Pennington county. Edward Park
inson found an interesting relic OF
pioneer days in the Black Hills, in the
form OF an old scalping knife, which
was sticking in tree. The bark of the
tree had grown around the blade I'M
til 1t covered it for several inches,
showing that the weapon must have
been driven into the tree many years
ago. 1t Is believed the old weapon
was driven into the tree by some OF
the warlike Sioux Indians, who in the
early days were accustomed to waylay
and attack the few whites who had
entered the Black Hills in search OF
gold. Parkinson also found near the
tree an old hand-forged iron hammer,
probably lost by some prospectOr in
the early days, or 1t may have been
made use OF by some Sioux warrior as
as weapon. Some years ago human
skeleton was found in the same local
ity, which, together with the two
weapons just found, may mark the
scene of one of the old tragedies which
were frequent during the early days
of the Black Hills. The old knife and
hammer will be preserved.

SUPREME COURT REFUSES
TO ALLOW SEPARATION

Henry. 8. D.. Jan. 16.-H is not often
that the supreme court OF a state de-
cides that a man and wife must live
together but a decision just rendered
by the supreme court of South Da-
kota in the case Of Enice p. Hopkins
VS.. Hollice l.. Hopkins, residents Of
Codington county, Is intended to have
this result.
Mrs. Hopkins Instituted an action
for divorce against her husband. The
suit was first tried about a year ago
before Judge McNulty. who rendered
an oral decision indicating that he did
not believe the evidence sufficient to
warrant a decree of divorce and then
took the case under advisement. At
the end Of three months, Judge Nc
Nulty rendered n decision, in which the
divorce was granted Mrs. Hopkins.
The husband appealed the case to
the state supreme court. which has just
rendered q decision reversing the lower
court, on the ground that the plaintiff
had no grounds for divorce. Whether
or not the case will be retired in the
lower court has not been announced.
