jumped from the boat at once az it
reached the north bank, aud the boat
was pushed back into the current, the
Arnold boy falling into the water and
getting SO wet that he hurried at once
to the Holderbaum ranch. His com.

pose to the boat, and disap.
peared through the brush to follow it
down stream. That was the last seen

waded into the river to ecure the boat
and was drowned. The boat has been
found on the opposite eide of the
river, the wind and current having
apparently caused 1t to drift across.

Confosses Pension Fraud.

A remarkable story OF impersonat-
log . deceased veteran Of the civil
war comes from Big Sandy, where
John Trusx, . we'll known home.
stesder OF that Vicinity, was arrested
. few days ago on . charge Of lille.
gslly drawing . pension. The 40.
cused admitted his guilt At . hearing
held before w. A. RxRsn, United
States commissioner At Big Sandy,
aud Was bound over to the federal
court.
Truax had been drawing Q pension
OF S12 per month for about sixteen
years, according to the records of the
pension bureau. He might have gone
on drawing the pension had he not
become greedy for more-it was COM
Ing so easy. A short time ago he
made application for an increase, and
this necessitated an examination of
the records in the case. 1t was then
discovered that there was a discrep-
aucy between the age OF the present
John Truax and the man who had
served under that name in thu Union
army during the war.
The investigation which followed
this discovery disclosed that the oriei.
nal John Truax died In Mount Pleas.
ant, Iowa, 81 years ago and was bur-
led there by his comrades Of the G.
A. r. Fifteen years later John
Truax, the present bearer OF the
name, applied for = pension from
Missouri, and he wal granted the
same without ever q medical exam
in alton.
