A Pension Ruling.

Assistant Secretary Chandler has
made decision in the case Of Joseph Ser
bach, late Of Company L, Second Missouri
artillery. The record shows that In April.
1854, while the claimant was on detail
watering horses, he was assailed by n
comrade, who, with revolver, beat him
over the head, frscturing his skull. which
resulted In u permanent disability. The
evidence shows that tho assault was I'M
provoked. The assistant secretary holds
that the injury WINS received In limo Of
duty, and Is therefore pensionable. The
former adverse decision OF tho pension bu.
rcau Is accordingly reversed.
