COMPARATIVE FIGURES.


Ing Pension Claims
Washington, Nov 11--Commissioner
of Pensions H. Clay Evans gives the
following in his report:
While the civil war lasted four years
and the casualties were enormous, and
the Spanish -nerican war lasted only
about faur months, with comparatively
few casualties, 1T is shown that three
years after the close of the Spanish
American war, claims for pensions
amounting to about 20 per cent of the
number of soldiers engaged in that war
had been filed, while in 1872, or seven
years after the close of the civil war,
only about per cent OF the soldiers
engaged in that war had fled claims
The commissioner says he is not pre-
pared to believe that those who engaged
in the war with Spain were less patri-
otto more coyetous than their an
cestors, but, in his opinion, it is the
fault of the system of pensioning, with
its active army of attorneys, solicitors
and drummers, who are practically
licensed by the government with the
promise of S25 for each claim allowed.

Tertiary at Beavenworth, and was him
self captured by the convicts and held
a prisoner until night Tho two con-
victs had been discovered in the woods
where they had two horses For more
than three hours the sheriff sat in
chair covered by six-shooter- By
that time the house was surrounded by

the sheriff's life and the life of Mrs

where Cook was held. Mr. Worcester
was on the floor beside them and un-
conscious, having his head broken by a
blow
After dark the two hostages were
marched ont through the ranks of the
posse with revolvers held against their
heads by the convicts- Upon reaching
a cornfieId the convicts broke away after
one of them had snapped his revolver
at the sheriff. They were heavily
armed and the posse did not follow
them into the corn.
The federal officers took steps to get
a pack of hounds to follow the fresh
trail.
The presence of the sheriff in the
house where he was captured is ex-
planned by the statement that he and a
deputy had driven the convicts out of
the woods past the house, as they sup
posed, but the convicts had only gone
around the house and entered a door on
the farther side, while the sheriff went
into door upon the side of the house
which he first reached, to inquire which
way the convicts had gone. He was
armed
After the convicts broke away the
posse sent "a number of bullets after
them and one was hit in the hand and
the other in the leg but they did not
