PENSION DECISIONS.
4 Soldier Wounded Through Own Careless.
ness Is Not Entitled TO Pension.

Washington. Dec. 12.--Assstant Secre-
tary of the Interior Webster Davis handed
down A large number Of pension deci-
sions. among them being two of consider
able interest on account Of the points
fdecided In them. The first case was that
Of the claim of Canton Karrall, late OF
Company X. 5th United States Artillery.
The appellant claimed pension on ac-
count Of gunshot wound in the left
foot, received on July IA. 1884
From the testimony 1t appeared that
the claimant was on fiat car cleaning
his gun. The muzzle was resting on his
instep. and he pulled the trigger to see II
1t was all right and the bullet passed
through his foot. Assistant Secretary
Davis in his decision held that the injury
in this case was manifestIy due to claim
ants gross carelessness in the use of his
gun, and the disability therefrom is,
therefore. not pensionable and his claim
is rejected.
The other case Is that of Samuel Lash
brook, late of Company +, 18th Indiana
Volunteer Cavalry. In this case Assis-
tant Secretary Davis makes an important
ruling as follows: THAT where the causes
Of disabilities for which additional PEN
sion is claimed are obscure diseases re-
quiring medical knowledge to determine
their character and extent. the opinion
of the medical referee, when based upon
results of examination is generally ac-
cepted as conclusive.

requisition issued by Gov. Stephens of
Missouri. for Joseph c. Johnson, the
coored man wanted in Saline county
Mo-. for kidnapping the daughter of DIR.

No previous extradition case has at
tracted such attention in Montana. The
Governor has been in constant receipt OF
kilograms from Missouri. from ministers
and others. to the effect that Johnson
was not guilty and that the proceedings
were intended to get him back for the
purpose of Iynching him.
Gov. Smith would not honor the requisi-
ton until assured by Gov. Stephens OF
Missouri. and the sheriff of Saline county
that Johnson would not be lynched.
The matter is not ended yet, as John
son has gone before a justice of the peace
and pleaded guilty to Il petty crime. and
has been sentenced to so days in the
county Jail. The question thus arises
How can he be taken back to Missouri
until he has served his sentence?
