RESOURCEFUL AHTOIST
HAMMOND, lnd., May 26.—“I was
riding on the hood of my automobile
in order to strentch my legs,” Frank
Egan of Chicago told the judge in
the Hammond City court. ‘‘I was not
drunk.”
Egan was arrested when he came
breezing over the staAe line straddling
the auto hood like a hilarious cowboy
astride a bronco. He explained the
alcohol on his breath came from the
radiator and that his unsteady walk
was caused by the cramped condition
of his legs.

DREW PAY FROM TWO GOVERN
MENT SOURCES AND IS UN
ABLE TO REFUND
Special Act of Congress Gave Him
Income Because of Citation
for Gallantry
WASHINGTON, May 25.—One case
in which a war veteran unwittingly
“gypped” astute government officials
and in modern day paralnce got away
with it, has come to light.
John R. Kissinger, of Homer, Mich
igan, served his country well in the
Spanish-American war. He was cited
for his gallantry in battle and was
heralded as the outstanding hero of
the conflict. But he paid a heavy pen
alty as he is a hopeless paralytic.
The government in those days wTas
more solicitous of its defenders than
it is today, Kissinger was granted a
pension of $100 a momth by the War
department—a considerable sum in
days gone by.
While drawing his $100 a month
from the War department Kissinger,
in some manner got on the payroll ot
the Pension Bureau and was awarded
$12 a month. He was drawing money
from two government payrolls.
Not until recently was this discrep
ancy discovered and steps were im
mediately taken to recover the amount
overpaid Kissinger, which totaled
$1,699.60.
Kissinger, however, was .ouua un
able to refund the amount due and
bureau agents mapped out a plan to
deduct $50 a month from his $100 a
month annuity from Congress.
This plan did not appeal to promi
nent persons who interested them
selves in Kissinger’s case and a louu
protest was raised because of the vet
eran’s total disability and because he
was unable to support himself and
wife on $50 a month.
Attention was directed to the fact
that the $loo monthly pension was
granted Kissinger by an act of Con
gress in which he was cited for spe
cial recognition of the eminent serv
ices rendered, suffering enuured ana
permanent disability contraoteu u..
him in the interest of humanity ana
science as a volunteer subject ior ex
periment in the yellow lever hospital
in Cuba.
1 he intervention of Kissinger’s
friends in his behalf had its desireu
effect. Officials took cognizance of his
plight and through a deficiency ap
propriation bill, authorization was giv
en for the War department to con
tinue the full pay of $100 a month to
Kissinger, without any deduction or
return of sums paid contrary to law.
Which puts Kissinger in the light
of having, unknowingly, put one over
on the government, a feat seldom ac
complished.
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 25.—
American troops in Manila are to
rushed to Tien Tsin, China, to be em
ployed in ocnnection with attempts
to release the American captives of
the Suchow bandits.
China has been notified to this ef
fect. Britain and Italy will co-oper
ate in the punitive war.
COLUMBUS, O., May 26— Mrs. F.
i R. Aisel has an old gray mare that
i “ain’t what she used to be.” In fact
| the mare is dead.
Mrs. Aisel tied the mare to a light
pole and during the owner's absence
the mare feeling the need of exercise
began pawing the ground after the
manner of festive equines.
The pawing uncovered a live under
ground wire at the foot of the pole,
and contact killed her instamtly.
FORT YUKON REPORTED
TO BE FLOODED OUT
Fort Yukon is flooded, says a wire
to the Fairbanks Ciitizen Monday. The
■water is said to cover the town to a
depth of four feet. Mrs. Grace Brook,
a former resident of Seward, and
family live at Fort Yukon.
