tary Bussey yesterday granted a widows
pension TO Mary Elason, widow Of james

would join his regiment at that point His
regiment did not 60 10 Chattanooga, and he
was captured by the enemy, confined in
Salisbury, ~ c., and while there contracted

causes during 3 furlough is not applicable IN
this case, ns the soldier was IN duress and
presumably anxious 70 join his regiment and
