There is already trouble about the new

when partios wore already on the pen

qtliro a fresh start. The provision as to
applications rends:
Section f>. BoforO tiny Soldier or sailor

this Act he shall make an application in
writing, through tho township r?pro
SOU tatt VO, addressed to tho county pen
sion board, to bO appointed as herein
after directed for each county of the
Stato, setting forth in detail the nature
of tho disabling wound, if any, tho
company and regiment or battalion in
which ho served, and the time and
place of receiving tho wound, and show
ing that neither he nor his wife is in re
ceipt of tho income as hereinafter Spool
(ied, and showing further the lime and
place of rosldotlCO within the Stato hy
tho applicant. Snob application shall bo
verified by tho oath of the applicant,
made before any officer in the State
authorized to administer oaths, and
shall be accompanied hy tho afllda
vit of 01)0 or more credible witnesses,
stating that they knew tho applicant
