Thought he was Crazy.

1t is such rare thing for a pension
er to refuse his pension that the Gov
eminent recently sent an Inspector
to Frazer, Pa, to see Samuel Fetters
who had refused his pension. Fetters,
during the war, contracted di, ease
which his physicians pronounced
chronic, and he applied for and
received a good sized pension. This
he drew regularly until a short time
ago, when his health began to i'm
prove, and finally he was completely
restored to his former vigor Then be
wrote to the Department to cease
sending the pension. THIS was not
done. and when the next pension day
came he promptly sent the money
back to Washington. Thinking Fetters
was insane, the Department sent an
Inspector to investigate the case, and
the result is that his name has been
taken of the rolls. This is the second
case of the kind in the history Of the
Pension Department where a soldie.
did not believe it was right to accept
money unlawfully.
