World war widow and orphan
pension cases numbered seven while
five Spanish-American war pen
sion cases were handled. Two Civil
war widow pension cases were ad-
iusted through Njce's office and
only one Indian war pension.
Three insurance claims were

ed SO live cases December l, 1886.
Nice said Recoveries other than
bonus claims totaled $ll,972, ac-
cording to Nice. Nice pointed out
that the arranging for hospitaliza-
ton for 81 veterans resulted in a
big saving for the county as 80 per
cent of them would have been
county cases.
"The wide scope Of the work OF
this office" said Nice, "is illus
trated by the fact the death GER
tificate of a veteran was obtained
from Mexico City so that his widow
might complete claim for his ad-
justed service pay. This office ar
ranged for an aged veteran of the
Indian wars to get pension of $50
a month, thus preventing him from
becoming a county charge"

projects which provided for common
defense of the American continent

The witness was Patrolman Bernard
Wynn, who eight years ago was a
participant in a shooting affray at

was shot and permanently crippled.
Wynn told investigators over the
week end recess of the trial, he and
Trepanier were fired upon when they

saw Cam, then a beginner in the
illicit liquor business here, with a
pistol in his hand. Cam crawled

Republicans in which they claimed
victory and called on their party
members to maintain order and tran

The failure of the government to
give out any official reports on the
