ALack Of Pension Money.

II Is stated at the Pension Office that
the deficiency In the amount Of funds
i'm the hands of the different Pension
nouncement by the agent at lndianap-
oils some time ago thata large number
OF pensioners would be compelled 20
wait until July for the payment Of
their pensions has been caused 10y the
unusual large number OF allowances
made by the Pension Office under the
present Administration, and particu-
larly since Gen. kaum's term began.
The great amount OF allowances has
been largely i'm original cases. There
have been issued nearly 1000 moro
original pensions than were issued
during the last fiscal year. and the
office has yet weeks work before
the end OF the present fiscal year.
Another drain upon appropriation. IL
Is said. was the act OF March |. 1890.
which increased 10 $72 per month ali
pensions for disability requiring the
aid and attendance OF another person.
The number of the eases Is large and
involves the expenditure OF large
amount of money The Pension Office
record for the present fiscal year, IL Is
stated, Will be- far ahead OF that for
any fiscal year for many years. The
final payments by the Pension Agents
were completed about june 20, and
those who were not paid by that
time will be compelled 10 wait
only few days until the appropriation
by the next fiscal year becomes avail
able on July 1.

A good many writers have asserted

came in from the West, struck the trail

laid themselves away almost on top of
US. We had our horses down around
a bend, with guards to look after them.
and the Indians had left their ponies AT
some other point. We were back in

while they were at the mouth of the ra-
vine and every man of them showed
against the starlight sky. We knew
what they were after, and we prepared
ourselves accordingly. There were
twenty eight OF us. and we crept up
inch by inch until. when we finally
heard the rattle Of the stage coach, we
were not only over twenty-five feet

could hear and see them making

dash out on the trail we gave them a
