mystified and in q hazy frame Of mind
While at Camp Darlington he had done
q little guard duty, but there was moth

had been accustomed In the old coun-

The law Of 1880 gave Does and other
soldiers drafted like him . pension, the
same - other old soldiers. But he
knew nothing Of Il. Time went on and
he became disabled. His nsighbors re-
membered his war record and urged him
70 apply for pension. He made ire
quent trips to see Capt g. ". Coward.
at Charlestown. but that pension agent
got the impression from Does that he
had never been in the service.
A thorough search Of the records re-
vealed his name as member OF the
unassigned Fifty-ninth Indiana regi-
ment, and showed that he had served 81
days, Just fve days more than was re-
Quired to give him pension. With that
information Capt. Coward set to work,
