Decision in a Pension Case.

Assistant Secretary Bussey, of the
Interior Department. has rendered a
decision in what is known as the
zimmerman pension case, in which
he overrules that of his predecessor.
Judge Hawkins. The question in
the case was whether or not the
claimant was in the line of his duty
when he received the injuries for
which he claimed a pension. This
question of ''line of duty" is one OF
the most difficult problems which the
adjudicator of pension case has TO
solve, and upon the precedent estab.
lished in the zimmerman decision
quite number of similar cases have
been rejected by the bureau that will,
it is thought, now have to be admit
ted,
zimmerman was soldier in reg
iment of Ohio Volunteers. and one
day in the fall of 1868 was standing
in front of his tent. Several of the
men were engaged in general frolic
near by, and one of them, leaving
the others, came up to zimmerman
and engaged him in conversation.
While his attention was thus attract
ed another kneeled down behind him
and his comrade pushed the soldier
backward. after the fashion of small
boys. zimmerman broke several
bones around his shoulders, and has
since suffered greatly from the injury.
The claim was rejected on the ground
that the injury was not received
while the soldier was In the line of
his duty, and that. therefore, he was
not entitled to pension.
The case was appealed and several
arguments were made before Assist
ant Secretary Hawkins both in favor
Of the claim and against it. He de-
clded in June, 1886, that the rejection
by the commissioner of pensions
should stand, and the case was en-
tered in the bureaus book of leading
cases as eXempifying the principle
that 1.-The proximate cause of the in
jury must pertain to and have a di.
rect connection with service and the
line of duty in order to give title to
pension" Inasmuch as zimmerman
was not engaged in play himself,and
was not in any way transgressing any
of the ordinary rules of camp life, he
still claimed that his case was good.
He argued that if he had not been in
the service he should not have been
in a position to have been hurt, and
although his injury was not the d.
rect result of one of the conditions of
warfare, he was truly in the line of
his duty when he was injured. The
ruling of the Department was on the
line that the government should not,
in the administration of the pension
laws, be held as an insurer against
every kind of peril. Mr.. Bussey re.
versed the ruling Of the Office in this
case and ordered the claim of AM
norman admitted. His position was
that the claimants injury was con-
nected as a result with his military
service, in that the service placed him
in position where, without fault on
his part, he received his hurt. Am

a large sum as arrears pension,
