Mr. Seibert never regained couns• '•siisness but breathed his last between Belt and Gerber. William Seibert was the son of A. E. eibert of Minneapoli, and had been\ with the Montana Power Co for the past four years. He was considered a %ery careful workman and those who worked wit'l him have nothing bat the beet to say of him. He hal been in Gev• ser has than a week but during this time had made many friends who regret Gaylord Fliteroft o know of his early demise. Ile n as Grady about 25 years of age and a young in \ Henderson excellent habits. Upon arriving in Great Falls the body :va s turned over to Undertaker treon- or. W. D.
