Judge Sam West, one of the ‘best known and most prominent citizens in the county, died at his home in this city early Wednesday morning as the result of a fall at his home on north Main street Tuesday morning, Mr. West was working upon a stepladder when one side gave way: and precip- itated him to the floor. He struck upon his head, rupturing a blood vessel. Sam West was born in Woodford county, Illinois, in March, 1840, where he grew to young manhood. In 1868 he was united in marriage to Miss Agnes McGlothlin who survives him. In 1878 he came west, locating in Pleasanton, Kansas, where they re- sided only a short time, removing to Bates county in the early 70’s and locating in the Foster neighborhood, where his staunch Democracy and his unswerving honesty gained for him a leadership and he was elected to and held a number of township offices. In 1895 he removed to Butler, and in 1898 was nominated Presiding Judge of the County Court on the Democratic ticket, to which office he was elected. During his four years of service in this office, Judge West faithfully bore the trust placed upon him by the people of Bates county, and it was during his administration that the present courthouse was built. Judge West was a man of strong character, a kind and loving husband and a good citizen. He has been for some time an active member of the Christian church. He is survived by three brothers and three sisters: Chas. E. West of Hume, Mo., James ‘West of Hume, Mo., W. T. West of Omaha, Neb., Mrs. Charlotte Thompson, Butler, Mo., Mrs. Mary Kincaid of Pleasanton, Kansas, and Mrs. Francis McPeak of Houston, Texas. Funeral services wit] be held at the Christian church Friday and interment will be made at Oak Hill cemetery with ceremonies by the Masonic Lodge. Stone Bares Shoe’ Ruse. Washington, D. C., May 2.—Typi- cal of the campaign being made to arouse oppositiou to Democratic tariff fmeasures, an extraordinary mistake in figures was bared in the office of Senator W. J. Stone to-day, when a delegation of shoe men undertook to urge the Missourian to oppoee free boots and shoes as provided by the house free-list bill. The shoe manufactures presented a letter from Representative Augustus P. Gardner, of Massachusetts, son-in- law of Senator Lodge, in which he had told the anxious shoe men that imports of shoes in the last six months had totaled $677,000. This appeared to be an enormous increase, which, said the shoe dealers, was due to the lower tariff on boots and shoes granted by the Payne- Aldrich enactment of 1909. Conse- quently, they were in the more of a panic because of the Democratic plan for free boots and sloass week: ® Mrs. S. B. Porter, accompanied by her daughter, Mrs. Joe T.
