eminent officials as a maElger of their
hunting parties and expeditions As such
Mr. Homan became the close personal
friend of General George Crook General
Humphreys, General Stanton, Senator
Thurston and every other notable of the
west. In 1897 Mr.. Holman accepted the
position of deputy United States marshal
and served in that capacity with dlstin-
gushed fidelity until December, 1905, when
he resigned. He was one of the most ten
der hearted of men, and he often acted as
the defender Of some poor unfortunate
whom he was compelled to arrest. par
tlcularly when he felt that the unfortunate
did not have a fair show before the United
States commissioner. He was frequently
reb,ked for this interference by the dis
trict attorney, and on one occasion, only a
few years ago, Mr.. Homan said: We'll
maybe 1t isn't any OF my business and IL
out Of place for me to interfere, but l tell
you right here, l don't care enough for
this dinIky little office to soc a poor devil
imposed on even by the United States be-
cause there is no one here to say friendly
word for him."
Mr.. Homan was generous and kind, and
many a poor unfortunate has lost a true
friend In his death. He Is survived by his
wife aud two children, a son and daughter
