Tho PENSION Fraud.

DR.. Loyal S. Burdick, of Harrington
was given a hearing before U. S. Com
missioner Smith, yesterday afternoon
on the charge of defrauding the orphan
children of VIM. B. Johnson of 1912
The complainant, Mrs. John H. Hick'
man, formerly Mrs. Johnson. testified
that her late husband was wounded at
the battle of Cold Harbor in 1854 and
died that night. Twelve years ago
Mrs. johnson married John Hickman.
After the marriage DR.. Burdick told
Mrs. Hickman there was a claim of $l400
due Mr.. Johnson's two children from
the Government a. pension money. Two
years ago, Joseph Mcdaniel, Of Dover,
was made guardian of the children, al
the suggsston of DR.. Burdick, Mrs
Hickman asserting to the manage cement.
The Government check was paid to
John C. Pennewell, Register of Kent
county, and he gave a check OF $624 to
DR.. Burdick. This sam was charged
by Mrs. Hickman as board for her chill,
dren. When the check for 1924 was
taken to the bank and cashed DR.
Burdick wanted half. MrS. Hickman
said she would give him what the law
allowed, but when he refused, she said
she would give him 20 per cent. The
offer was rejected, and, turning to Mr..
Hickman, the doctor asked him II he
didn't think he ought to be paid for
his trouble. The husband answered
in the affirmative, and the money was
divided.
The case was adjourned until Satur
day.

no more useful officer in our city thar
the man known as "Hunt the dog
catcher" Previous to his appoint
ment to officer our streets we're full Of
worthless ours, but few dogs were reg.
istered, consequently, but small
amount Of money was collected as dog
tax. In 1879 after Hunts appointment
there were 1900 dogs registered, and
ATS unclaimed dogs destroyed. In 1880
there were 1919 dogs registered and
1872 destroyed, the amount Of money
secured for registering dogs in 1880
amounted to Sl802, which after paying
Mr.. Hunts salary, left a considerable
amount of revenue for tnSoity. To-day
our streets are almost free from unreg-
istered ours and great credit is due to
Hunt for the faithful manner ne has
performed his services. The office is
an unpleasant one to fll, as but lev
persons would desire to perform the
duties required of dog catcher.
Our city authorities we're very forum
ate in securing such an excellent Off.

long live to fiji the office he has in the
past so ably filed. JUsTIcE.
