GOT HER PENSION AT LAST.
A Soldiers Widow Who Has Suffered II
iuEtice Ever Since 1871.

A Soldiers Widow Who Has Suffered In
justice Ever Since 1871.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-Assistant Secre-
tary of the Interior Bussey to-day rendered
a decision in the case of Phoebe McLough-
lin. on appeal from the action of the PEN
sion Bureau, which rejected the claim of
her husband for pension on account of
disability alleged to have been incurred in
the service. The soldier filed his origi-
nal declaration for pension in January,
1871. alleging that while engaged in loading
ammunition into wagons at Jonesboro,
Tenn, in August, 1854, he had his right arm
caught and mashed between a box of am
munition and the wheel of o wagon, which
injury never healed and resulted in a rum
ming sore. The issue presented on the APP
peal, Mr.: Bussey says. is simply the sufiici-
liant to establish the origin of the injury In
the service. Mr. Bussey analyses the testi-
mony given in the case and says the proof
of the continuance of the soldiers disabili-
ty from the injured arm subsequent to dis
charge Is ample and conclusive. He con-
tinues:
is rare that fact in claim is
bility resulting therefrom to the end of hts life
is equally as convincing, and the department is
cOmpened 10 again express us ast0nlsnment
that this appellant should have been so long de-
prived OF pension to which she has so fully
proved herself TO be entitled. upon so fimsy and
so evidently trumped-up story as that upon
which the former actions OF your bureau in this
claim appears to have rested.
He therefore reverses the action of the
Pension Office, and directs that q certificate
be issued to the appellant. allowing her such
amount of pension as may be due thereon
under the law, from the date of discharge
of the soldier to the date of his death, in
1871
