AT the last session of congress a
new pension law was passed which
gives pensions to a large number OF
people who had fought for the United
States, but had not been regular
members OF the army. These were
mostly men who had fought in various
Indian wars, residents Of the vicinity
where the wars took place, aud most
ly sworn 10 as state or territorial
troops. The various wars are enumer-
Eted 10 the bill and among them the
New Mexico Indian wars between
1s40 and 1856. II the applicants can

we moved TO BOSque county, our pres.

see an advertisement OF Chamberlain's
collie, cholera and diarrhoea remedy
with a testimonial Of a nan who had
been cured by it. The case was so

AT their recent meeting the repub-
hcan board OF county comm issioners
paid $3.50 Of the taxpayer money to
employ a special attorney to prosecute
az appeal TO the supreme court in a
case in which the county is a party.
At the same meeting, as at all quarter
ly meet'n gs, they made an allowance
to District Attorney LlewellYn of $50
in payment OF his quarterly salary,
Why dosen't the district attorney look
after the cases In which the county is
interested?-Silver City Independent.
The only reason that can be given as
an answer TO this question is that the
district attorney has too much work
for his time, or rather his work covers
zoo much territory. This increase In

was made by the last legislature, OF
which the inquiring editor OF the In-
dependent was an honored member,
