OLD SOLDIER DID APPLY
State Board of Charities Say Veteran
 Did Not Come to Home.

Since the death of Charles w. Cox, the old Confederate soldier. who died December 3l, in Barring Cross, the board of the Confederate Soldiers Home of Arkansas has been probing into the case. The state board of charities finds Cox was not at the home at all. It finds that Cox could have entered the home this month.
 When Cox was found dead in his pocket was discovered an application Tor admission to the home. The ap- pilcatiin was not signed by Cox. In the book of rules for admission into the home, it is found that no veteran can be admitted during the same cal endar year within which he has drawn a pension. It also provides that no applicant, who has been an inmate of the home and has been dis charged or furloughed, and who shall nave drawn pension shall be read mitted until 12 months after date of his discharge or furlough.
 Since that rule has been changed to six months, Cox had drawn his pen sion last September.
 Furthermore. the members of the state board of charities say they have proven that Cox was not at the home. lie had never applied for admission. Had he done so, he could possibly not have gained admission; but he would have kept until his friends were noti- fled.
 In his application to the home. which Cox had not signed, he stated that he had entered te Conferedate army in August, 1861, was engaged in tree battles: Shiloh, Chickamauga and Murfresboro and many skirmishes.
