AFF|DAv|TS Of
SERVICE To Be
TAKEN, IS IDEA
Men Unable to Establish Rec
ords of Activities Against
Reds to Benefit by Measure
Many in Idaho County Will
Get Cash from Uncle Sam,
in Case the Bill Is Passed

Idaho county volunteers who fought
in the Nezperce Indian war of 1877,
and who are unable TO establish proof
of their service by army records may
yet receive pensions from the fed
eral government.
Many veterans of the Nezperce war
in Idaho county have been denied the
pension money to which they are just
N entitled, because official records
of their service were lost, or because
no official record was ever made.
TO DEFENSE OF HOMES
In time of peril from the Nezperces,
volunteers residing on Camas Prairie
rushed to the defense of their families
and homes, without even Thought of
whether or not their names appeared on
the muster roll.
Hearings were held recently before
the house committee on pensions, at
Washington. ID. c., reative to pension
ing of veterans of Indian wars whose
records of service are not complete in
the war department. Members of the
western delegation to congress APP
pcared in behalf of the veterans.
BILLS IN CONGRESS
Several bills relative to pcnsioning
of Indian war veterans now are pend
ing in congress, including Represen-
tative French s measures, house reso-
luton 90 and house resolution 81,
which provides the acceptance of af-
fdavits and evidence from comrades
or from two persons having personal
knowledge of the service.
1t is believed as result of the
activities of members Interested that
bill will be reported soon from the
committee, probably combining the
features of several bills but providing
relief for Indian war veterans who arc
now unable to establish record of their
service and eligibility to receive pen
sions.
