With Bad Results.

from FL Dorado were fined in the police
court and given very excellent lee
ture by Judge Hatton. Their names
were Leonard and Thomas, and claim
ed to be CATTLE men. The previous
night they were galavanting down
Fourth avenue. and meeting colored
youth they pulled a gun on him and
tried omake him dance. The young
man was too scared TO dance so he gave
an unearthly yell that brought Officers
Woods and Sutton 10 the scene. An
exciting chase followed through alleys
and railroads yards, and when the
policemen caught up ii became neces-
sary to throw revolvers down on the
gay chaps before they would peacefully

SIGNING UP THE PAPERS.
Old Soldiers and Soldiers Widows Film;
into the District Clerks Office

Their was a steady stream of old
soldiers and soldiers widows pouring
into the county clerks Office yesterday
They were having their pension papers
made out and signed by the county
clerk
The law allows the clerk a fee of Is
cents for every paper signed, but the
county clerks of this county have
never collected the fee. They claim that
the old soldiers needs all the pension he
gets, and they are willing to give one
day to the men who risked so much
for their country.
Messrs. Chain and Ford, the two de-
putty clerks put in a good part Of the
day yesterday making out the pension
claims. 1t was noticed that nearly all
the men who stepped up to the counter
and signed their papers were getting
well along in years, and the frost Of
time rested on their heads.
AS the younger men witched these
old men filing in and out like funeral
procession. scarcely one of them utter
ing word, they frequently remarked
that a few more years Will thin the
ranks of these pensioners How many
Of the men who went into the county
clerks office and signed their papers
yesterday will be drawing a pension
ten years from now, was a question that
could not be definitely answered. There
has been a great increase in the pension
role in the last ten years, and the next
ten will doubtless witness just as rapid
a decrease.
The soldiers widows did not take
their turn at the counter. but the clerks
told them to come inside and they sat
around a large table and made out
their papers and signed them. The
women usually had a large envelope
already addressed, and when the de-
putty clerks signed their papers they
folded than carefully and placed them
in the big envelope and after looking
at each side of the envelope to be GER
tain that ii was all right, most Of the
women walked out into the hall and
tenderly deposited it in the government
letter box.
There are between 500 and 600 Of these
pension papers made out a the county
clerks office each year and they bring
quite a little sum. One old soldier SAID
Yesterday that he presumed that they
would average about SIS per month. or
SIS to the quarter for each pensioner.
Estimating the number Of pensioners
at $50 at this office, and that would
make $24,150 coming every quearter to
the pensioners who have their papers
witnessed at the district clerks office
In this city, or $99, 600 each year.
The pension money pays up the gro
Gerry bills and some of it goes 10 the dry
goods and clothing houses. and occas-
ionally some of the old soldiers go to n
joint and take a social drink and sit
down to q table and talk over old times
in the army. The pension money finds
its way back into the channels of trade
in a remarkably short period OF time.
