A SHREWSBURY MAN KILLED..


Perey Pitts died at his fathers home
in Shrewsbury early Thursday morning
from the effects of wounds received dur
ing an altercaton Monday on RUDE

sey Bussey left Rutland Thursday on the

o'clock in the afternoon and was arrested
on his arrival at CuttingsVille by COrtta-
BILE Phalen. Deputy Sheriff Stearns drove
to Cuttingsviile la-er in the afternoon and
secured the prisoner.
The sheriff's department has gathered hut
little information as to the tragedy. II
the friends Of Pitts are any authority, he
and Bussey were in q barn on RLbe
Cranger's lumber job in Pittsfeli, when
a dispute arose over a piece of shaving
soap. Pitts claimed that Bussey had stol-

thu charge he would smash" MIN. The
men soon began lighting and Bussey hi.
Fits in the small of the back with a
club. After the fight Bussey disappeared
and Pitts was carried to his fathers home

who died that year. and satisfactory proof
Tex parte, of course) was furnished show
ing that she was the lawful widow of the
soldier. 1t has been discovered that she
was not his widow never had occupied
any relations with him as wife, but was
at the time of filing her claim. the wife
OF another man of an entirely different
name. She is now a widow and is under
arrest. She has received more than $4,000
pension.
In another case, through the aid OF an
attorney. n woman established her claim as
the widow of a deceased soldier The evil
dence shows now that she was not his
widow, but that before the time she al
leges to have been the soldiers wife she
was the wife of another man, and that
since the death of the soldier she has
continued to live with the same man as
,her husband. She has drawn over $4,000
and is now under arrest.
In a case coming from Pennsylvania a
woman claimed to be the widow of a SOL
der in the t'ifty-eighth Infantry. who died
of heart disease contracted, it was alleged,
while a prisoner at Andersonville. There
is a larger number of papers in the case
from which it appears that the service re-
cord had to be many times corrected.
Among other things the woman four days
after marrying again filed a claim for two
children by the former husband. The case
dragged along and the bureau, 1t is estl-
mated, has spent over $1,000 TO get at the
facts in the case. with the result that the
very man who the claimant says died OF
heart disease is alive. was never her nus.
band, and himself draws a pension. Had
the woman succeeded she would have
drawn a widows pension of IS for two
months and "a days Thus for the NUM-
fcent sum of 500 the bureau has had tc
spend $1,000 to protect itself.

DEWEY'S COMING.

We have only one admiral The whole
nation Is on tip-toe to welcome him. His
chief anxiety appears to be to see his
mother, and he may give us all the slip
by landing at some northern port and
striking across lots for his Vermont home
as some one has suggested he would do
But the admiral is no longer a free man,
and it may be some time before he will
see "Varmount, as the natives are sup
posed to call 1t. 1t is State worth see
ing. and we do not wonder that Admiral
Dewey Is homesck for It, But here's to
New York" as the Knickerbocker DR.
Bethune once said at a New England din
ner, the city everybody came 10 and
which nobody leaves" It Is destined to
be the admiral's landing place, and the
roar of welcome with which he will be
greeted will be heard in the remotest COR
rer OF Vermont New York once laid
claim to that State, and the New Workers
propose to annex 1t now in the person of

on their way they touched at Auckland,

the time of their departure the drought

DISHONEST PENSIONERS
suffer Under Commissioner Evans Rigor'
Gus Methods-Will Continue His Fight
For Honest Pensions.

Washington, Sept. 4-If the pension at
torncVs and lobbyists who are making the
attack on Commissioner Evans think they
have frightened their man they are pro
foundly mistaken. They have run up
against as good a fighter for fair play and
honesty as he was for the UUion back in
the COS. He expresses no concern what
ever at the threats that reach his desk by
every mail of what is going to be done
during the week at Philadelphia to COM
pei the President to demand his resgna-
ton. The commissioner is a man who has
a clear idea of the law and his duty as
an official under it. THAT is a line he
said recently, 'to which we must all hew.
ii is not only my duty, but the duty of
every old soldier, from the President down
to the youngest drummer boy, to sec to
it that fraud shall not prevail to the preiu-
dice of the honest and deserving. ! laye
made no more vigorous fight on fraud than
some Of my predecessors, but the laws
IL Wadays give more opportunity for the
designing and INSCRIPTIONS to attempt
their nefarious work. I think | shall be
sustained in doing my duty"
The commissioners report, issued Sat-
urday, shows no disposition on his part
to quail or truckle before the onslaught
that the pension attorneys are making
against him, lie gives Il number Of cases
of attempted fraud that have been de-
tested since he came into office. They
arise most frequently with the claims for
widows pension under the law of lSSs, by
which, unlike the soldiers claim. where
the pensions begins with the dat onwhich
he files his claim. the payment begins
from the death of the husband. This gives
a chance for scheming attorneys to get
proof from graVeyards, and, by using aU
unprinCipled woman, make up a fraudu.
lent case, which can only with great care
be exposed
"A case Of this kind came up for settle
ment during the present year" says the
commissioner. The claim of the ALLEGED
widow was so strongly built up that the
bureau was about TO issue a certificate
granting her a pension amounting 10 over
$4,000 The case had been sent to the field
for special examination and reported as
being meritorious Before issuing the Ger
tiicate another special examination was
deemed advisable, and the papers were
sent to another special examiner, who So
cured testimony tending to show the frau
dulent character of the claim He con
fronted the claimant with this evidence
and she thereupon made full CONT ssipr
showing that she was never married to th
soldier, and that she was induced to arpl!
by parties who We're making business o
Ming fraudulent claims under the opera
tons of the act Of 1888"
In another case a widow was pensione'
In 1889 to date from 1865 She was repre-
scented as being the widow of a soldie
