nv THE Assistant SECRETARY OF THE DEPART
MENr OF THE INTERIOR.
Line of Duty.-The officer, father
OF this minor, having been killed by
the accidental discharge of his gun
while hunting by permission of the
commanding officer Of the post, not
the consequence of any willful neglect
or improper conduct on his part. his
death IS considered to have occurred
in the line Of duty, the commander OF
said post reporting that said officer at
the time he was killed was considered
on detached service.
Marriage and Divorce
marriage to the soldier is shown by
evidence OF a ceremony and cohabita-
tion. The only evidence of his prior
marriage is the testimony OF his sister
and a friend, to whom he wrote or
disclosed that he had married girl
ia seaport while he was pursuing the
occupation or sailor. His mere
declaration, without other proof, is
not competent to establish such a
marriage to the prejudice Of the rights
of this claimant, and, on this point,
her legal widowhood is considered
established.
Death, Cause Pathological Sequence
The late officer was pensioned under
the general law on account of gun
shot wound which destroyed the right
eye and fractured the bones of the
orbit. His death is shown to have
been due to disease of the brain OF
meningitis. Held-That in the alb
sence Of any other more probable
cause for infection than the continued
disease in the orbit the fatal disease

wound. Action reversed.
Commencement-Act OF May 9. 1900.
There is no authority Of law for
making the date Of commencement OF
a widows pension under the act OF
May 9, 1900, other than that OF the
date Of the filing Of the application
under said act. A claimant may not
be entitled under the act OF June II,
1890, and yet be entitled u1der the
act Of May 9, 1900, the bases OF de-
tendency under the said acts being
different.

her conduct induced the Bureau OF
Pensions to act upon the assumption
that she had remarked and to grant
pension to her minor child, who drew
pension from October s, 1867, to June

claiming pension in her own right
during the period the minor child
drew pension, notwithstanding she
was not legally married.
