In the year 1896 Albert G. Krause. n
young man of German birth, left his home
and parents in the village of New Ham
burg in this (Wateroo) County, to better
his condition in Uncle Sans dOminions.
After wandering in various parts of the
United States he settled in Toledo. Ohio.
where he worked Mt various employments
until the outbreak of the Spanish war in
1893.
Being by this time pretty thoroughly
Americanized he enlisted in the 9th Ohio
Vol. Inf. His regiment was sent to camp
Mt Chickamauga: but got no farther. At
the close of the short struggle the regiment
was mustered ont of the service. Ami
mated by the same spirit that impelled so
many of the three-year boys in 1864, he
wanted to see the scrap out. and re-
enlisted for three years in Co. I. 18th u.
S. Inf. After time the regiment was
sent to the Philippines. There he took
part in nil the hikes and scraps incidental
to that service at that trying time. On
June II. 1901, when within six weeks of
the expiration of his term of service, his
company, while on the hike after the Ia
drones. was ambushed near Tagbilaren.

removed to Manila for temporary burial.
As soon as circumstances would permit,
his remains were placed on n transport

removal to the United States and for de-
livery to his relatives. On Sept. 1G. 1903.
the body arrived at his fathers home. and

nature of varicose veins. it is safe to pre-
sumo the continue Re of the same from
the time soldier wa discharged until 1915.
From all the eYa Hence in this case the
Department is of the opinion that claim
ant incurred varicose veins of the right leg
while in the service and the same has con-
tinued since his idisGharSe.
1.-The allegation that the varicose veins
resulted from shell swound of the leg is
sufficient, though it is not shown that he
received such wound. See the case of

ORIGIN IN sERvICE-sUFTICIE-C OF
EVIDENCE.

In the general law pension calm of
james Fisher -. the Pension Bureau held
that there was no record or other salts
factory evidence showing that the claim
ant incurred shell wound and resulting
varicose veins in the service, and there
fore rejected the claim.
On appeal from this action it is held
asst Sec'y Miller, Aug. 81, 1903, Docket
No. 75,302):
''The testimony in this case filed for the
purpose of showing that claimant was
wounded while in the service is vague and
unsatisfactory and is not sufficient to sus-
tain this part of his allegation. However,
from the testimony of Capt. Maclay'
George II. Gaskins and w. j. Sample. il
is clear that claimant had varicose veins
while in the service, but they were not
sure whether of one or both legs. The
cause Of this disability nor the time when
it first appeared is not shown, but there is
nothing to show that it existed during
the early part of his service From all the
facts shown it is presumed that he was
sound at the time he enlisted.
''The testimony of Perry GRAY and
Thomas J. Caslin and the certificates of
medical examinations show that claimant
has suffered from varicose veins of the

replied that he would be in less danger
by signalling his approach, to which state

as possible danger concerned the negro

noisy scout at a sure distance.

Armstrong led his horse rapidly from
the road, and tied him: then he crept back,
hearing, as he came, the sound of march
ing horses, too numerous for those of his
friends, and hearing still the voice of old
Squire singing in the distant front. The
Confederate saw and counted his enemies
as they rode by his hiding place; he knew
that Morgan had come and was near at
hand; he understood the negro's stratagem.
and saw how the distorted song had been
employed for his own salvation.

Far down the road Armstrong had
heard and recognized the tune. though not
the words; and through some uncompre-
hended influence he halted and hardened.
But he had not reached the slope that
goes down to the river, and his halt was
brief-he must go on; he feared that he
was too late to see the ford. yet if enemies
were there he hoped to see their camp-fres
on either side. He went slowly forward,
the song continuing to reach his ears-fOr
the singer prolonged the chorus, repeating
and repeating-and once he fancied that
the words had been distorted. He reached
the brow of the hill. and dismounted: lie
would tie his horse here. outside the road,
and go forward afoot. He could see moth
ing in front except sunken zone of
darker gloom, where the river valley lay
no camp-fires. no light in any dwelling
The fence ut his right was of stone, that
ut his left of rails: he went to the left
was not the singer approaching?
Surely the voice was louder and clearer
the voice Of some negro coming. and who
would soon be here. This soldier feared
no negro but he knew the necessity for
secrecy-negroes were friends to the
Yankees, and if one should see him here.
his plans would be upset He began TO
take down the rails. still keeping bride
in hand. He would hide his horse III some
thicket he would let this negro pass.
And now the voice came loud, and
Armstrong worked fast to let down the
gap, and the words We're clearer, and he
knew Squire's voice and some of the
words and such wonder took hold of him
that for moment he well-nigh ceased to
work, but already the gap was almost low
enough. and he passed through just as
man marched by singing clearly, but now
not so loudly:
