TIE HALEY SILVER BAND.
Though Hardly Organized 1t Played
Very Creditably Indeed.

A friend reminds the TINES that
the HALEY Silver Band has been en-.

good opinion Of the people of this

The band got $500 for its services

WHY cox WAS REMOVED.

The principal charge against Henry
Cox, the pension agent At San Francisco
who was suspended on Saturday and
Truman II. Allen appointed to succeed
and helpless pension-r named Hill, who
was confined in the aims house. out Of
the greater portion Of his pension ar
rears. which amounted TO ST,2l5- II
seems by the report that WAS made by
4. +. Morning, special examiner Of the
pension Ohce, in 1883, that Senator
Miller had taken an interest in the I'M
fortunate and destitute soldier aud had
written Cox to look after his pension,
and when it was received. to see that it
was safely invested for him : that 1t
would yield for him a comfortable sup
port. Cox on the strength of this let
ter got himself made the soldiers guard
ian and then invested 5000 III two
mining COMPANIES, the Sierra Smelling
and Mining company and the Good
Hope Gold and Silver Aiming Company,
ia both OF which lie was himself inter
esed and of which he was President and
both proved worthless.
The report OF the special agent which
i very severe upon Cox and which de-
tails ali his rascrlity in this matter, was
presented TO General Dudley, then
Commissioner Of pensions, and Cox vas
recommended for removal at that time,
but the accommodation was not APP
proved. Secretary Lamar in speaking
of the case said that this WAS one o! the
most scauda!Ous that had been brought
to his attention. lie sid that Gen.
Dudley had told him that he had re-
pcatcd!y urged Co.'s removal, but he
had been retained for political purposes.
The record Is very volUmiuous and nG-
nerous nfhdavlts are attached support
ing the conclusion OF the examiner.
When an official who is known To- bc
guilty of 80 IA iuuU, a crime as that "f
