Up at Osceola the board of supervis-
ors have commenced an action against
the estate of Smith Boggs, wealthy
resident of that county, recently de-
ceased. 1t seems that for several years
he had failed to give in all of his money
and credits for taxation. In 1900 he
only gave in $4,000, in 1901 $500, in
1902 $3.50, in 1903, s10,00a and in 1904
$4,000. Mr.. Boggs died during the
early part of the present year, and
when the assessor called on the ex-
ecutor ofthis estate for list Of his
property the executor returned S14, Sa3
in notes and 1884, 900 in cash for assess
ment, total of $49,223. The county
claims that Mr.. Boggs concealed from
the assessor about $4,000 each year on
which he should have paid taxes, and
has brought suit in the district court
against his estate to recover the taxes
on this amount for the past five years.

Frank Chastain, of Eden prairie, at
tended the Wayne County Poultry Show
at Humeston last week and exhibited
two of his Black Langshan cockerels,
and won second and third prizes with
them, the birds being scored 92. and
90 points by W. S. Russell, who is
claimed to be the best Judge of poultry
in the United States. When it is re-
membered that at the Worlds Fair
poultry exhibit the best cockerel only
scored 95 it will be seen that Mr.. Chas-
tain has some pretty fine stock.

Through Mr.. James Grandstaff who
recently returned from Burlington, we
learn that his son Otis Grandstaff, who
disappeared few weeks ago from
Burlington under peculiar circum-
stances, is now located at Ft. Worth,
Texas, having algood position with the
Texas Printing Co., the same line of
business in which he was employed at
Burlington, and he has decided not to
return to Burlington, but will move his
family to Fit. Worth in the near future
and make that city his future home.
Some of the newspaper reports Of Mr..
Grandstaff's leaving Burlington were
grossly exaggerated. The truth of
the matter is that after being elected
alderman a5 large and entering into the
political strife of that city he became
associated with class of fast livers,
and the pace was such that he felt that
he could not longer bear up under it, so
he decided to leave and begin life anew
away from his former associates. His
many friends in this city will be pleas
ed to hear that he has settled down to
business and with his hustling business
abilities he will soon be on his feet
again.

WILL TRACK THIEVES
Efforts Being Made to Form an
Association Among Lake
Shore Farmers.
WERE MANY DARING THEFTS.

Before the summer is over the coun-
ties along the lake shore will have an
anti-horsethief association, as a move
has been started by the sheriffs to or
ganize the farmers along the main
roads between Milwaukee and Chicago
and equip the members so that they
will be able to assist the officers in
their efforts to capture the many
thieves constantly operating in this
state. Some years ago like move
was made, but owing to the lack of
telephones in the country it had to be
abandoned. Telephone lines are now
being strung along most of the coun-
try roads, and the plan seems to be
feasible one at this time.
For years there have been few
deputy sheriffs scattered throughout
the several counties, but the ma jority
of them have been located in the
towns and when a theft occurred they
could not be reached in time to ac-
complish any results. The plan now
under consideration will include all
active young farmers, who are to be
sworn in as deputies without salary,
and who will be willing to serve as
officers for the honor that goes with
an appointment. Most of the farmer
boys have horses of their own, and
would like nothing better than to en-
gage in a chase after horse thief.
A telephone would be installed in
the home of every deputy so that he
could receive notice the moment a
horse is stolen, and this notice would
be passed along the line which the
thief is liable to take il his effort to
reach Chicago, where the bulk of the
stolen rigs are disposed of, minute
description of the property being fur
nished every member of the volunteer
organization. Rewards are generally
offered for the arrest of the criminals
or the return Of the stolen property,
and some of the farmers would be
able to earn neat little sum occa-
sional1y, which would more than pay
for the telephone and any other ex-
pense that might be incurred.
The local police received a telephone
message from Waukesha Thursday
evening giving the description of a
| fine outfit which was stolen there
The sorrel geldings stolen are valued
at $500, and the buggy to which they
were attached is worth SIS, while a
new harness valued at about the same
figure makes the haul good one for
the thief. A reward of $50 has been
offered for the return of the property
or the capture of the thief, descrip-
ton of whom was not secured.

OPPOSE THE SURVEY.
Farmers Residing South of the City OPP

Farmers residing south Of the city,
in the town of Pleasant Prairie, are
raising decided objections against
surveys that are being made for the
electric road between Kenosha and
Zion City. The farmers are not OPP
posed to the coming of the line so
much as they oppose the methods of
the surveyors. 1t is claimed that the
engineers in the employ Of the COM
pany have invaded the farms, tramp
ing down the growing crops and 1eav-
ing path of deso1ation behind them.
Attorneys have been consulted, and it
is probable that some steps will be
taken at once to stop this invasion of
the surveyors.
