Grundy Center, Sept. 12.-What is

resulted in having a pension inspector
come here quietly to inspect his pen

pension for total disability of one hand,

titled to the same. 1t is said that the
inspector watched Mr.. Stevens now
ing with a scythe for an hour and then
took him to Eldora to be examined
by physicians at that place. Mr..
Stevens was shot in the shoulder dur
ing the war and has always been trou-
bled with that arm. and casual ex-
animation of his hand shows it to be
somewhat withered and apparently OF
little, if any, use. The outcome is be-
ing watched with considerable interest

Fort Dodge, Sept. 12-Major Howe,

result of striking two enlisted men
of the F'ifty-sixth Iowa, while at Fort

them and joining in the funmaking
AS the band was giving a concert in

Howe, rushed out and struck the
horns of two of the men, Gilbert Pray

crashed against their lips cutting deep

Other officers appeared and rescued
the irate major, while the cheering
brought forth practically every soldier
in camp. The "Blazeaway band' then
went to the Y. M. C. A. tent and gave
a comic program before over 5000 men.
The Fort Dodge boys were cheered for
several minutes at the close of the pro-

was given several rousing cheers
