WANTED ONLY HIS DUE.
"A Peculiar War Claim of Long
Standing Settled.

A claim which has been before the
Treasury and the War Departments for
the last thirty years has been settled by
the Comptroller of the Treasury. The
claim was submitted by George p. Kob-
erts. of Tennessee, soon after the pas
sage of an act of Congress in 1870 which
recognized as a part of the military force
of the United States Capt. David Beatty
company of independent scouts.
This company was organized in Tennes-
see. and served throughout the war on the
Union side. but it was at no time regu-
larly mustered into the service of the
United States Neither officers nor pri-
Yates received any compensation from the
Government. and the act Of 1870 was for
the purpose Of declaring the company en-
titled to the same pay and provisions as
IL it had been mustered in. Roberts, who
was a member of the company, applied
for his pay in IS71. He received Q check
for 81. .064-25, this being pay for service, for
horse, and for clothing.
Roberts said this was more than his
period of service entitled him TO and sent
the check back, asking for what was
really due and no more. The War De-
partment looked up his record and de-
cided that he was entitled 70 only S2l0 -.
Roberts claimed that the amount should
be 1851 90 but the decision. confirmed a
few days ago. confirms the former decis-
ion that s2l04 Is only should be allowed and
q check for that amount has been sent

Boston, on the other hahd, was equally
unable to drive in runs off Carrick, and
both men who crossed the plate in the
fourth did so with the help of a bad de-
cision of Umpire Connolly and a wild
throw to the plate by Quinn.
In this inning Freeman led with a sin

pretty bunt, advancing Freeman and
Hemphill, and Ferris hit straight at

Quinn cut the ball to Clarke at the plate
The bali went wide. however, and got
away from Clarke, striking Freeman and
rolling toward the Washington bench.
Freeman, of course, was safe, while
Hemphin sprinted in from second. The
next two men flied out to Foster.
Washington got its only run in the fifth.

WESTERN RAILROAD FARES
Wide Difference Noticeable Between
the East and Western Roads in
Several Particulars.

Some OF the eastern roads boast much
of their fine trains" SAID a we'll known
railroad man here in Butte. one who has
been connected with dozen or more OF
the greatest roads during his long SER
vice. and knows his subject from top to
bottom. Some of them have fine trains:
Neritable dreams Of elegance. But there
are many things in which the western
train service is infinitely better.
Take the matter OF first and second
class fairs. In the east, the holder Of a
second class ticket is not allowed to ride
in first class day coach. in chair car,
diner or sleeper. ana the financial differ
erence between the two classes of tickets
is very small. Between Chicago and New
York it is only $3.50. while it is $500 be-
tween here and st. Paul, about the same
distance. There are no tourist sleepers
on the eastern roads, and the holder of
the second class ticket must stay awake
all night Or double up in his seat, or
stand up and say mean things about the
road. He can't buy lunch on the buffet
cors or the diners; there is nothing for
him to do but take a lunch, go hungry.

train stops. exc out an existence at a

within the cool confines OF the saloon

they soon became good friends. The
