PENSION DECISIONS
by the Assistant Secretary Of
the Department. Of the
Interior.

PATHOLOGICAL SEQUENCE. "A
soldier having a hospital record
showing the existence Of a given
disease in the service died, sub
sequent to his discharge, with a
disease apparently different from
that described in the aforesaid
hospital record; and the medical
referee having expressed the
opinion that the latter disease
was not a pathological sequence
Of the former, the Department
holds that said medical opinion
is conclusive against the claim of
pension based upon the former
cause as alleged in claimants
declaration; and the appeal from
the Commissioner is therefore
denied.
DEPENDENT PARENT. To en-
title a dependent parent to pen.
sion under section 1 of the act Of
June q, 1890, it must be shown
that his or her sons death was
the result of wounds, injury cas-
ualty, or disease incurred in the
line of duty.
SECONDARY CAUSES. The De-
partment holds that, when a per-
son, disabled by injury received
or disease contracted in the lne
of military duty, voluntarily
places himself in a position par
ticularly subject 10 risk and
where such injury or disease in
creases the liability 10 accident,
he must be regarded as assum.
ing in great measure the risk,
so that accidents happening tC
him under such circumstances
have such a remote and uncer-
tain connection with the service
as a consequence, that neither
disability nor death, resulting
from them, comes within the pen
sion law.
4 LINE or DUTY. The record
shows that the soldier incurred
the dislocation Of his left arm
for which pension is claimed
while scuffiing in the bsrrack.
and that he was rot in line o.
duty.
| DEPENDENCE - WIDOWS. Tn,
evidence shows that the claimant
owns property which does, ol
