A Good Man Gone.

S. P. Boucher, formerly of Gree.
ley, who has been making his home
with his nephew in this city, died
last night.-Osawatome Globe.
Simon Boucher was we'll known in
Anderson county. He was one Of
the pioneers Of the state. He and
his brother Henry, with their fam
lies, Moved here at an early date,
and settled on farms about 2
miles northeast of Greeley, on what
has since been known as Boucher
Branch. The wife of decea ed died
about twelve years ago. Soon after,
Mr.. Boucher quit farming, and. for
time, lived in Kansas City. His
health failed, and he went to Cal
ifornia, where lived while with
one Of his daughters, Mrs Green.
field Poplin. The climate did not
agree with him, and he returned to
Kansas, living with his brother
Henry for some time. His other
daughters, Iva and Tillie, wero EN-.
ployed in the asylum at Osawatemie,
and he went to Osawatomie to be
near them. His health has been
failing gradually-and the end has
come.
Simon Boucher was one of Ma
ture's neblemen. He was an up.
right Christian gentleman, and was
loved and respected by all who knew
him. He enjoyed a reputation for
honesty-his word was truly as
good as his bond.
In his death, society loses val.
liable member, and the AGITATcR
family loses a trusted and warm
friend. Our heartfelt sympathy is
with the serrowing family. But
they mourn not as those having no
hope. He has gone to receive his
well.earned reward

The underlying cause Of nervous de-

months ago in defiance of the revenue
laws, the story of which was printed in
The G b e at the time, Deputy Gus
toms Collector T. e. Hagen, of South
Antlers, n. D., has been arrested MIR.
Crane says that it looks as though the
importers of the stock were innocent OF
any intent to defraud the government,
and that the customs collector was the
real cClprit.
The cattle were brought across the
line about the middle of May, by one
Hill. Of North Dakota, and E. H. Hyne-
man, OF Illinois. Hyneman brought the
cattle In and made the report at the
customs Office at South Antlers, a little
SUPPORT of entry, about ten miles
south OF the boundary, remote from
railroad and located between the
Mouse river and the crossing of the
500 road. The declaration of value was
made to the collector and the cattle en-
tered A short time afterward, while
Hyneman was still in the vicinity with
the stock, he was sent for by the
deputy collector, and told that there
would be additional charges on the live
stock; that the lot had been underval-
ued and that the government would
have to have $1,000 more The govern
ment claims that. Hagen finally settled
with Hyneman for $500; that the impor-
ter paid the money in good faith, tn nix
ing that it was just claim
Hagen was arrested on warrant is
