Des Moines, Aug. 14.-Not all Of the
Iowa men who belonged to the irreg-
ular organizations of military charac-
ter formed for defense in early days
are entitled to pensions under the
new state law on that subject. And
this is causing some embarrassment.
The state now has seven who are
getting pensions under the law to pen
sion the survivors of the Spirit Lake
expedition. Announcement of this fact
has brought to the office of adjutant
general quite a good deal of corre-
spondence which indicates the exact
effect of the law is not understood.
Friends Of William Wilson, who
lives north of Boone, have written to
see II he is entitled to q pension The
record shows he was a member of the
Northern Iowa brigade and enlisted
at Mineral Ridge in 1862 which was
long after the Spirit Lake expedition.
Another letter regarding a veteran
shows that instead Of being in the
Spirit Lake expedition for which pen
sions are provided he was member
of what is known as Capt. II. B. Mar
tins company for the defense of the
northwestern country. This was or
ganized at Webster City nearly a year
after the Spirit Lake expedition had
been closed. At least two Of the pen
-sioners Of the Spirit Lake expedition
were also enlisted here.
A lawyer writes from Elk Point to
the effect that one BLY, Mcguire resld-
ing there, cripple and needy veteran.
is supposed to have been with Major
Williams on the Spirit Lake expedition.
But his name tails to snow OH the
roster.
From Clear Lake came information
as to H. Hayden, declared to have
been with the expedition; but there is
no record Of 1t.
Thomas L. Stevens, record clerk in
charge Of the statistical matter relat-
ing to these early military organiza-
tions. states that the law as passed re-
fers only to the one organization which
was sent to the relief Of the settlers
and pensions can only go to members
whose names are found recorded in the
military records.

There's no more dependable bleach

in which buttermilk may be used for
this purpose is the presolated butter

use this is to put a liberal coating over

There was a river-driver beyond
the Northwest Garry who respected
neither moose nor man. Because
he was the best river-driver on the
West Branch, they let him alone I'M
til he struck an Indian with pick
pole.
The Indiana's head was damaged
and while he waited for it to heal he
selected his revenge. He hunted up
the moose-warden and told many
lies. Deity concealed among these
lies, however, was a truth that in
furiated the warden.
The river-driver, whose name was
Skeene, sneered when the moose
warden glided into camp. But when
he dug out head and antlers behind
a shanty, Skeene picked up his rifle,
looked obliquely at the moose-war-
den, tied his blanket and fry-pan,
hoisted his canoe onto his head and
walked away to the southwark, still
sneering.
1 don't know what they said about
it in Foxcroft, but Hale, who owned
the timber and who thought he own
ed Skeene, hunted him up and sent
him to work on the new cutoff,
hoping the affair might blow over in
time for Skeene to drive logs again.
But Skeene turned lazy and lined the
dead water with traps and SETTINGS,
and when Hale demonstrated Skeene
laughed. -.
Then Hale threatened him and
limited about moose-wardens and
$500 fines, but Skeene thrashed
Hale before the whole camp, packed
his kit and canoe and padded serene
H away down the West Branch.
That really began the trouble, for
Hale never forgave him. When
Skeene started to guide for Hender-
son on the upper Portage, Hale heard
of it and ran him out.
Possibly, if they had let him alone,
