Under Faise Co,ors


EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: Please nnhlisb
the ioiiowing In your paper, SO that the
public may be placed on their guard and
not suffer by being imposed upon.
Ihere is at present man in Sacra-
mento who gives the name of Samuel
Hersha. He appeals to old soldiers and
others for assistance upon the ground
that ne served IL the late war. To sup
port MS claim as veteran, and at the
same Tune to enlist the sympathies of
Inc public, he shows a Through card
ISSUED by Lyon Post, No. Is, 6. A. r.,
located at Oakland, Cal. Asa matter of
TACT there is no such Grand Army post as
Lyon Post, No. 2S, in California.
In conclusion, allow me to say that at
the present time there are several per-
sons IN the city who are appealing to the
people for help, claiming that they are
ola soldiers. In working the commu-
nifty they invariably show a bundle Of
papers which, to person not connected
with the Grand Army, would seem like
war record from Bull Run to Apo
matox, but if the same papers were pre-
sented TO member of the Grand Army
they would possess no value whatever.
1t is safe TO say that a considerable
number of those who are travelling over
the country appealing to the public for
help under the pretense Of being old
soldiers are nothing but professional
dead-beats and men who were never in
the service of the United States. The
Grand Army posts of this city are not
unmindful of the fact that there are those
OF their number who served their coun-
try who require both help and sym
pathy. Such are never turned away
empty-handed. GEORGE w. FICKs,
Chairman Relief Committee.

"Then came William Beckman, of Sac

that he carried letters OF credit on Drexel,
