PENSION CASES DECIDED
Injuries Received Through Care
lessness Not Ground for Favor.
Medical Referees Testimony Admis.
sihle Where Fay for Obscure Dis.
eases Is Claimed.

Assistant Secretary o ( the Interior " .bster
Davis handed down a large niimter If pen
siCn decisions. among them being two OF
considerable interest, on account OF tie
points decided in them. One had a bearing
on tie question as to what ma be egartled
as an injury received in line of duty, and
the other regarding the Importance of the
report of the medical referee In pension
cases.
rhe first case was that OF the claim of
anton karrar, late Company X, Fifth
United States Artillery. The facts in
this case are that the appellant claiin,d
pension m account OF giins!nt wound
ot left foot, received July II, 1894. The
records of the War Department state that
the appellant was discharged Septern ser
l, 1885. on account OF the injury.
The batte-y captain states in the GER
tificate Of disability for discharge that
ciair.apt was on a flat car cleaning his
gun. The muzzle was resting OIL his instep
and he pulled the trigger to see IL it was
all right and the bullet passed through his
foot And the post surgeon also stated N
his certificate se the cause of the disabilit; IS
as described in the batteiy's commanders
certificate, and the injury was evidently
due to care!essness.
Assistant Secretary Davis, in his de
ciison, soys that the claimant has filed no
evidence In rebuttal of the aforesaid
record, therefore the injury i'll this case
was inanifestly cue to claimant's gross
carelessness in the use Of his gun, and
the disability the.efrom is therefore rot
pensionable, and his claim is rejected"
The other case is that OF the claim Of
Samuel IashbrooS, late Company F, Thir-
teenth Indiana Volunteer Cavalry. In this
case Assistant Secretary Davis makes IN
important ruling as follows THAT where
the causes Of disability, ior which ;..idi-
itonal pension is claimed are obscure cis-
eases requiring medical knowledge to ,ie
termine their character and extent the
opinion of the medical referee when based
apo1 results Of examination is generally
accepted as conclusive.
