PENSION DECISIONS
BY THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY
OF THE DEPARTMENT OF THE
INTERIOR.

on-Minor.-Under the act
of June 81, 1890, a minor may file
declaration and prosecute his claim in
person, by guardian or next friend, but
before payment of minors pension a
guardian must be appointed, and when
qualified to act the pension should be
paid to him as in practice under the
general law
esertion-Commence of PEN
sion.-Claim was filed October 8, 1889.
while claimant was in desertion, and
therefore had no status to apply.
Claimant was finally discharged Sep
TENDER Is, 1892; his pension was very
properly made to commence at the
date of filing a declaration after he
was discharged.
Certificate of Disability.-While it is
a settled rule of the department that
a medical certificate of disability,
given at the date of discharge, is a
contemporaneous record to which
great force and value should be at
tached as showing the cause of dis
ability mentioned therein, and the
only causes incapaciating the soldier
for military duty at the time, yet such
certificate may be rebutted by compe-
tent testimony going to show the in
currence in the service and line Of
duty, and, also, the existence of a
pensionable disability at discharge,
not mentioned in said certificate.
Line of Duty A soldier having
been frozen to death while crossing
Sandusky Bay, February 20, 1866, it is
held that he was not in line of duty
for pensionable purposes, inasmuch
as he was engaged at the time in an
.errand that was disconnected from his
military service, on his own private
business, when it was his privilege to
remain in camp and thereby avoid the
fatal exposure. ID ,,@sys,
Dependent Mother.-A soldier, the
son of dependent mother, having
committed suicide in the service, as
the result Of mental disease original
ing in the service. will be held to have
died in the line of duty, and the
mother will be allowed pension for
dependence 5 Is u, Az ! 5&
Adjusting Rates. The rates recon-
mended by examining surgeons In
their certificates of examination are
merely indicative Of their own pro-.
fessional opinions as to the severity
of the disability resulting from each
disease or injury described By them.
but have no binding force until ar~
proved By the Commissioner of PEN
sions.

Preferred Chickens.

Cando Herald: A. Il Kugel told
The Herald man a remarkable lynx
story yesterday morning, and as lynx
are scarcely ever heard Of or seen in
this locality, makes it all the more
interesting. His son, Willie and his
granddaughter lay playing upon the
grass between a grove of trees and
the house on his Mama farm the other
day when a good sized lynx jumped
past them and grabbed couple Of.
chickens that were near by and as
suddenly made its exit back into the
grove, climbed a tree with its prey
and devoured it, and later escaped I'M
molested. The remarkable circum-
stance is the fortunate escape of the
children from being literally torn to
pieces by such a ferocioUs animal as
lynx, and undoubtedly all that saved
one or both from being attacked is the
fact of the chickens being SO close at
hand. -, h. .=~

TOOK MONEY AND SKIPPED.
Minot Boy Got $7oJ on 500 De
n ~. post Slip.


n" = -. post Slip.
Minot Optic: Roy Sloan of Minot
was arrested at Granville last night
on a charge of taking unlawfully $500
from the Union National bank Of this
city.
: Sloan had a $500 certificate of de-
post ON the bank and cashed it for
$500. He Immediately disappeared,
but as result of the thorough search
of the Minot police, was apprehended
at Granville last night and returned
to the city this morning. q
Sloan had $3.50 when arrested and
the $500 was returned to the bank by
Chief of Police Hagen. Much credit
is due the police and the bank officials
for the promptness with which the
money was returned.
Sloan did not forge the certificate
so it is not certain that he will be
prosecuted on a criminal charge. The
police say that it was grand larceny
for him to disappear with the money,
knowing that he was entitled to only
$500, but since the money has been
returned the matter may be dropped.

The Boy and the Pup.

Dickinson Post: If man has a
$40 pup he would look after it care
fully and not let it run all over town,
but if he had boy it would be diff
ferent. He is turned loose at a GER
tain age and let go to the devil. The
people wonder where the great army
of tramps, loafers, dead beats and sots
come from in each decade. They are
terminated from the pure seed gath
cred from our homes ana sown broad
cast upon our streets and alleys. 1t
may be your boy is starting in that
direction. At all events the boy ought
to be given the same chance with the
pups.

A Final Word of Warning.

Considering the elections to be
held during the present year it is
not easy to understand just how
any public-spirited citizen can sac
rifice his voting privilege.
1t may be set down as prac-
tically certain that the purchasable
gangs will be duly provided with
poll tax receipts. That has been
attended to already in some of the
communities in which such voters
are usually needed in questionable
politics.
1t is the respectable citizen who
votes his own ticket. but who il
unaccountably Indifferent, who
may be expected to lose within the
coming week privilege of great
importance-the privilege of assist
ing those of his class in promoting
the cause of good government
The News appeals to the voter
who stands for more efficient pub
lic service, for honest elections
for the laws, for good order and
progress, not to let the month O
January slip away and leave him {
voteless voter.
