On last Saturday afternoon a Den
Yer & Rio Grande brakeman whose
name was not learned entered the
morgue of the undertaking estab-
lishment of Collier in Pueblo where
the charred remains of numerous vic
Tins of the wreck were awaiting
Identification This brakeman looked
over the grewsome sight and one
thing that attracted his attention was
long gold chain of a peculiar de-
sign. He examined this chain close
ly stating that he believed he recog-
nized 1t and on being questioned by
one of the officers he stated that the
chain greatly resembled one owned
and worn by Mrs. ]. l.. Montague,
the wife of Denver & Rio Grande
brakeman residing at Grand juno
tion. He stated that he was ac-
quainted with Mrs. Montague and
that he remembered the chain clearly
because of its peculiar design and
great length. The chain had been
found by itself in the debris.
The brakeman promised the under
takers that he would call again and
give what information he could but
he failed to keep his promise and no
more could be learned.
This afternoon when the Sentinel
was informed of the matter inquir-
les were at once set on foot but owing
to the fact that the hour of going to
press was near at hand we have not
had time to make a fun mvestiga-
tion or to receive an answel 10 a tele-
gram sent to the town in Kansas in
which Mrs. Montague is supposed to
be visiting.
Mrs. j. l.. Montague left this city
about one month ago for her old
home in Kansas to make an extend
ed visit. Whether she contemplated
home this month is not
known. but she left the city expecting
to be gone about two months.
The Sentinel attempted TO com
municate with Mr.. Montague but he
is out of town today on his run and
could not be reached. The Mon
tagues resided on North Third street.
Mrs Montague is a handsome
young woman and has a large circle
of friends who will hope that the
Identification of the brakeman VIII
be proved Incorrect
Her old home was at Dodge City,
Kansas.

PENSION ROLL FALLING.
Decrease for Year, s12,470-985,9I
on Lasts on jane 80.

Washington. Sept. 3O.-The net decrease in the
pension roll of the United States for the hscaI
year ended June 80 amounted to S12.4Io. the
largest decrease known in the history OF the
country These facts are brought out IN the an
nual report Of Commissioner Warner. which mas
lust been completed. In the report the Com
missioner expresses the opinion that there will
be a still more marked decrease in the present
year.
During the year there were added TO the roll
So 500 new pensioners and 140J restorations and
renewals, making a total addition OF 34.974.
The total number Of pensioners on the roll dur
ing the year was 1888 415. The number OF
pensioners dropped from the roll during the
year was Al. Al. leaving the number OF pen
sioners on June 80 1906. 9S59T1.
The maximum number OF pensioners in the
history OF the bureau was reached on January
81 1905 when it was 1O04 1856. since which date
there has been steady decrease, aggregating
TO June so. 1906. 1925
Death the principal cause OF the decrease
OF the last year, the number of names dropped
on that account being 43.S00. OF these 432OS
were those OF survivors of the Civil War leaving
666 453 survivors OF that war stiI on the roll
There are still four pensioners on account OF the
Revolutionary War. one widow and the other
three daughters; 660 all widows. on account OF
the with SPAIN and 11.472 on account OF the
Mexican War. OF the Mexican War pensions
1884 TO survivors.
The Commissioner calls attention to the fact
that while there has been material decrease In
the number OF pensioners, the annual value or
the roll is nearly as large as 1t was last year
This arises from the fact that the ratings OF
many invalid pensions are constantly increasing
the average increase last year being 81 p.
During the year 23.62S claims were allowed
under Order No. IS, allowing old age pensions
