Veteran Helped William Dunn
now of Washington, was one Of the
Pennsylvania emergency men who
hustled south when the battle of An
tietam was impending. to help fight
the Confederates. Although on the
job when his country called, he was
absent from Muncy when a paymaster
visited that place, some time later, to
settle with him and the other mem
bers of Captain Lloyd's company. The
others got their money, but when
Dunn returned the paymaster and the
opportunity had gone. For fifty-one
years Dunn has kept that account re-
ceivable in mind. and now feels that
the time to realize upon it has come.
He has written to Auditor General
Powell explaining the circumstances
and making a request for payment;

voucher and instruct him to present
his claim in formal way.
Clerks Dropped. = Next to the at
tempted sleuthing on Commissioner
Dixon to-day by an overzealous audi
tor, the sensation of Capitol Hill
was the notice given to several
well-known clerks of the State Treas
ury that their services would not be
required after this month. In each
case the letters stated that no fault
was to be found with the work of
each clerk, but an intimation given
that stern necessity impelled State
Treasurer Young to sign the dismissal
letters. The men who so are said to
be Ard c. Steel, Blair who comes of
one of the most influential families in
that county; Joseph l.. Gates, former
cashier of the Treasury: John s.
Sloan, Philadelphia, and one other.

Rebel, who died in the midst of the

Powell held that he was entitled to be
paid for only the part he served and
the Attorney Generals Department
has upheld him.

Deer Buying.-'If people who live
in Eastern Pennsylvania counties and
are talking of having their counties
closed to deer hunting for three years
under the new act, want deer they
should arrange to cooperate with the
State in buying them," said DR.. Joseph
Kalbfus, secretary of the State Game
Commission to-day. '"rhe State does
not have the money available to buy
deer. We had hoped to secure some

but 1t is not possible because of the
failure to make specific appropria-
