One Sweetzer was arrested recently
for intoXication, disturbing the peace,
etc, and duly fined. Constable Bovn-
ton had him in charge, and for the
purpose Of discovering some way to
raise funds to pay his fine, gave him
the liberty of the village. Bling, "
however, thought it best to keep an
eye out. and accordingly appointed
Fred Hubhell to that office. So Fred,
unObserved by Sweetzer, followed
him up and down the streets while
looking fer help. Sweetzer finally
arranged with ''Phil.," but he was to
bring his mother in before the ar
engagements could be completed, So
Sweetzer started toward Wolcott TO
Overtake his mother, who had shortly
before started for home. Fred saw
him move up street from Gleed's
house and concluded that the enemy
was about to flee, and pursuit was
commenced. AS Fred dashed past
A. d. Thomas house he told Almon
to run for Bling" Sweetzer really
having no intention of running away,
but being anxious to overtake his
mother, began to run. FIed was rot
observed by S. until he had nearly
Overtaken him. Then Fred put his
hand upon his pocket, and in a fiend-
ish voice cried out ''stop, or ] shoot"
Sweelzer gave one look at his pursuer,
and thinking that a lunatic was in
deed after him, instantly pealed off
couple Of coats and dashed on.
Fred's coat then came off, and the
strife wdXed warm. Some times
Sweetzer would take to the bushes
and then back to the road, Fred in the
mean time screaming like q wild man.
They fought the ground until S.
plunged into the river, and crossing,
disappeared in the woods some ways
below the Tenny Bridge. Then it
was that Fred's limbs failed him and
his faith gave out. He could neither
swim or fly, and his only choice lay
between suicide on the spot or on in
glorious return. Finally choosing the
latter he YEARLY made his way back
to town, where he found the consta-
BILE and others patiently waiting the
return of Sweetzer and his mother,
both Of whom soon arrived.

rnE PENsIc,N ERAuns.


 The Grand Jury of Washington has done it's duty in indicting three of the boldest and most greedy of the dishonest pension agents who have been doing their fraudulent work for long time in Washington. It is said that these indictments are to be followed by others, and that the work of cleaning out the rascals is going to bs thoroughly done. It is cheering that at last these fellows who have been sBindling the poor are to be at tackled in earnest. These is a plenty of evidence against them. Colonel CorkhiH has Knowledge of several thousand cases where petty frauds have been committed and it is declared that he does not intend to spare those who have committed them. If the Washington correspondents tell the truth, and there is reason to believe that they do, those who are fighting these frauds have not received that help from the Interior depart ment which they ought to have had. It is alleged that cages of great strength, care fully made up and forwarded by Pension Commissioner Dudley to Secretary Teller, with request for suspension, have been re- peatedly sent back for further evidence, and cases closed weeks ago have been allowed to
 
 to look into these eases, correspondents found that the Pension office had done it's utmost to procure suspension, but that no notice whatever had been taken of a number of cases sent up, while one of the strongest had only been so far noticed as to disapprove it. A search by correspondents at the Interior department for the reasons and for the per- son or persons responsible, revealed the facts that the cases had not been called to the at- tention of Secretary Teller, and that six were quietly sleeping in the pigeon holes of sub- ordinate, where the case of one of the worst offenders had been resting since a year ago last August Attention being called to it Secretary Teller acted, and promptly sus- pended the six, and nine more sent up the next day by Commissioner Dudley. But a new rule of proceeding in matters of suspen- sion was adopted and made retroactive; and all the suspended attorneys were restored on the ground that they ought to have an op- portunity to defend themselves. Ever since this restoration they have been more active than ever before in their operations upon claimants, and while evidence of this of the most conclusive character has been urged on the attention of the Interior department, no action has been taken in the cases of the worst offenders.
 This is not very fine state of affairs and it does not reflect any credit upon the Inte- rior department. But it is to be hoped that the Commissioner of Pensions and District Attorney Corkhill will succeed in overcom- ing all obstacles to the punishment of the fascals who have been plundering disabled soldiers and the widows and children of dead ones. It is outrageous that they have not been attacked before.
