of Hutchinson from Little Crow's band
of Sioux during the Indian outbreak in
1862 that the pension law
by last legislature is un

held at Hutchinson, and it was decided
to ask. the legislature this winter to
amend the law, arid to invite other vet
erans to co-operate in the effort.
.The act passed by the last legisla
ture requires ith^ti,the applicant for a
pension must show proof of injury or*
disability resulting from service in the
