Baseball; Asjassiz vs. Mission. On Thursday afternoon Mission City and Agassiz baseball teams played on the Agassiz grounds, the score standing 17 to 7 at the end of seven innings. The boys from Mission were outclassed from the start and the result from the beginning was a foregone conclusion. "Lefty" Raftevy was on the mound far Aeassiz, while Cox was pitcher for Mission.

In the first inning Agassiz garnered five runs, the locals taking kindly to Cox's slants. On the other hand held the 'Mission boys in check throughout, allowing only three hits. All of runs were the result of errors and overthrows. Both teams were partly composed of juniors who performed exceptionally well and who also showed up the seniors when they came to bat. Agassiz has a splendid team, and since the game with Mission the players are almost of the opinion that they can face creditably any team in the Fraser Valley.

Harry Fooks umpired Thursday's game, and no fault could be found with his decisions. Basketball; Militia vs. Sardis. The fastest and closest basketball game yet played in the drill hall was that on Wednesday evening between a team representing the militia and one representing Sardis. The game was fast throughout and the combination of both teams showed marked improvement over the previous games.

Excitement from start to finish was high, the scoring being of the see saw kind until the end when the militia came out the winners by a 14 to 13 score Checking was close and the militia were much strengthened, by Lieut. Jackson, who, for the first time since his return home, was seen on the team. OBITUARY The death of the late Edmund John Boucher on Thursday morning last came as a shock to nearly every resident of this city although it was generally known that the deceased was in poor health the past year. Death took place at Tranquille sani tarium, near Kamloops, where de ceased had gone at Easter in the hope to find relief from tubercular meningitis which developed in the last couple of months from chronic asthma Up to a year ago Mr. Boucher was apparently a strong rugged man, in good health and spirits.

Since then he gradually sank, the funeral being held on Sunday afternoon from St. Thomas' church to the Church of England cemetery, the Rev. Canon Hinchliffe officiating. The late Mr. Boucher was in his forty ninth year.

He was born near Ottawa in Carleton county, and educated in the Ottawa public and high schools. During his attendance at Ottawa high school the Reil rebellion of 1885 broke out and with others he enlisted for the defence of his country in what was known as the company of Ottawa Sharp Shooters Col J. D. Taylor, M.P. for New West minster riding was also a member and comrade throughout the whole ol the rebellion.

He received his baptism of fire at Cut Knife Hill one of the hottest engagements the civil war of that year. About 1896 deceased went to the Rainy River district, engaging in trading and general merchandise at Emo and Boucherville, the last named place being called after him. His residence' in the Rainy River dis trict was about 18 years, during which time ho was highly respected being elected first reeve of the then newly formed municipality. About six years ago with his family he moved to Chilliwack, portion of the time since engaging in business. He served a couple years as alderman on the council board and 'one year as city clerk.

His advice in all matters was sound and gained from years of experience. Nineteen years ago he was married in St. John's Winnipeg, to Miss Florence Boucher, daughter of Wm. Boucher, of South March, Ont. The widow, three sons and two daughters, the oldest about 16 years, survive and are well provided for and residing in Chilliwack.

Besides these relatives ho leaves three sisters in Ottawa and a sister and brother at Emo, all of whom have the sympathy of the residents of this town and valley.
