his son, Harry, left the home and drove
to Halleck where they took No. 3 anu

too much for Mr.. Robinson and his con-
dition was serious when he arrived. He
was taken to the Boiling hospital and
given the best OF care, but the disease
had made such prog So that it could
not be stay ed.
Mr.. Robinson was one Of Elko county y

tent it relieved the cavalry arm.
This corps grew into d mighty arm of
the services LII the field and it's record is
full of devotion and self-sacrlticinp
we're not excelled by any other branch
OF the service.
Noiwlthst anding the great servive
these men perforrued for their ccnntry
during the dark days from 81 to 'G5, the
government, they suffered to save, has
perslstently refused to place them upon
the same footing as the private soldiers
IA regards pensions. The only recogni.
ton the government has ever gwen
these mon is granting to them certii-
cate Of honorable service.
1t ia difficult for an ordinary person
to understand why the government has
refused to pension the members of Lh is
corps when il has been 30 liberal in
providing pensions for those who served
in other branches of the service. 1t
would seem that all who served in the
army during the civil war, no mat ter
what branch OF the service they were in,
should be placed upon the same footing
and shouIa share equally in the bounty
OF the government.
Less than 200 OF the men who served
In the military telegraph corps during
the civil War are alive today. Many of
these are broken in health and some of
them are poor in purse. They are all
rapidly moving toward the eternal
bivouac. The government should give
them the recognition to which they are
entitled and smooth their pathway to
the other side.
One OF these men lives III Elko. lie
served Mt Nashville and Chattanoypa
under General Thomas, the rock Of
ChIcamauga. He served his country
faithfully and yet tho name Of /. b.
Sheldon Is denied place ON his c, III =
try's pension roll.
Neglected by their government, those
men appealed to Andrew Carnegie, the
organizer OF their corps, for assistance IN
their Old age and he gives each Nom Der,
recommended by committe OF the
corps, pension Of Sl44 year.
The generosity of Mr.. Carnegie is
commendable, but what shall We Oh, OF
the neglect OF the government? Let US
hope that before the last one OF these
old telegraph operators answers ne.
final roll-can justice will be done them
ny the government they did 40 mach TO
preserve.
