it , although not in n condition to enjoy his
Christinas dinner to the lull.
The four men who handled the weapons
are UroKg HOUIM , hU two sons , Kots mitl
Klmcr , and his son-in-law , Daniel Wilson.
As near as can bo learned from these who
claim to bo familiar with iho cir
cumstances , Soars has been living on
I'lumer's ' farm for.some timu past , but had
been drinking' heavily and atlowliiK the farm
and nil its surroundings to RO to waste. Hov-
eral weeks npo some of the creditors stepped
In and petitioned the illstrietcourt to appoint
u receiver. i'etors was appointed , antl cvor
since that lime Ho hits been holding down the
farm against all comers.
The Sears outlit , In the meantime , bail
matlo up their minds not to allow Peters to
run them oft entirely , and nnulo numerous
throats as to what tliey would do if ho did
not rotlro and leave the Held to them. Peter *
wits somewhat nlurmed by the threats , and
had a number of nblo bodied friends
stay with him Thursday evening to
assist film In case it was necessary. The
evening were itway and no ono appoarett
to molest them , so about 10 o'clock the visit
ors wont away und loft Potcrs alone with n
boy about 15 years of npo , who llvo in this
city at the corner ot Twenty-seven ! n nvenuo
and Tenth street.
Shortly after the dopnrturo of his friends ,
Peters hcum a noise and a moment later saw
the barrel of a shotgun stucic tbrougn tnno
of glusR and leveled directly at him. Quick
as thought ho drew a revolver and shot into
the air , so as to snow the man who was at
the other end of the Run that ho was pre
pared. The man with the run , who after
ward proven to bo old man Soars , responded
In turn , nntt the contents of the barrel of the
ctiu were emptied into Peters' Ion , The other
three men in the meantime weru working
busily with their revolvers , and several snots
'
were' tired at Peters , sqmo nf them toning
effect. The assailants then broho a hole In
the door and entered. The boy was speedily
kicked out of door * and ran three miles bare
footed across the country to the Plumer
house , where ho irnvo tno alarm.
A party of men nt once set out for the
scone of the encounter , but when they ur-
rivea the attacking party had made peed
their escape. Hefore they went , however ,
they administered a lorriblo beatinc to
Peters , who was found lyini ; in a pool of
blood on thu floor , alive , but uleedini ; from u
number of severe wounds in the arms ana
limbs and on the scalp and face. He was
moved to Plumer's house. Twenty-throe
shot were found to have- lodged in his limb.
His bruises were very severe , but not fatal ,
and in a few days he will bo brought to a
hospital in this city for treatment.
A warrant was issued in Justice Hammer's
court yesterday for the arrest of Iho four men

ity where they live and have terrorized their
neighbors on a number of occasions. Ono of
the Soars boys is sriitt to bo out on bond now
pending a trial on the charge of stabbing his
father in n drunken fray nt Glen wood.
Last evening Nicholson returned with the
four tnou in tow and they were looked up in
the county jail. They wanted to give bonds
for their nppenranco , but the Justice would
not admit them to bail until ho learned
whether Peters would bo likely to recover.

that the field of usefulness of the bureau was
not confined to the interests of claimants on

the services or an export and thoroughly re
liable attorney to whom could bo sately en
trusted the delicate and Important interests
of its soldier clients , nnd whoso work would
meet their expectation. In this the bureau
has been eminently successful , having secured -

into special examiner of the pension bureau ,
who resigned his olllcial position under Iho
government to take charge of the pension
claim business of T/iiE.Bijr : Ui'iiK AC 4 > pUi.ti MS.
Mr. Judson has spent nparly half a llfe-
tiineln prosecuting claiin's'of ex-soldiers und
heirs. Ho brings to thoqllcnts'of the Bureau
the fruits of many years' experience in the
prosecution of their claims , and a thoiouph
know.'edgo of the practice nnd methods o
the pension bureau gulnod through hisoftlcia
position thoreiu.
Wnenover it is found that any n

Thousands of deserving , and in many in
stances , needy ox-soldiers , veterans of luuny
fierce battles , and the widows and prplmns of
such , have often felt themselves justlv en
titled to relief nnd assistance at the hands of
Iho government which they so nobly fought
for in the hour of peril , yet Imvo not applied
for pension or ether allowance ! duo them for
the simple reason that they were not familiar
with the "rod tape" requirements of the gov
ernment , and were not personally acquainted
with an attorney ur an agent in Washington
or elsewhere , who was in possession of the
technical knowledge necessary to enable him
lo transact the business properly , nnd were
unwilling to entrust n matter to dcl cato and

they were receiving constantly ; while many
others equally descrying and to whom a pen

Tjio business entrusted to the bureau in
.Washington Is being1 proseoL' 'd with energy.
The Indian depredations patent , land
mining anil other claims before Ihc courts
and departments ara bclnir pushed ns rapidly
as possible , with no delays on accunt of the
laruo amount of business which has been sent
to Iho bureau. Tlio laruo amount , of claims
ntrustud tolls enrols a standing proof of iho
tccrn and confidence in which Tnu Itni : Is
hold by the publicwhichltscrves. Itis like
wise a domonstralloli. if ono was required , o
ho need of such un organization
The revelations in regard to the Loomls
agency which have been published recently
go oven furthcrin Iho same direction. When
n man sought for by the police for nonrly'n
year on a warrant for embezzlement can setup
up ns a claim agent , flood the wotorn coun
try with circulars and roccivo assignments
for several million dollar's worth of claims.
It appears that thoru is little protection for
the claimant whosends to an unknown repre
sentative. The men who assigned thoi rclniin
lo Loomls would have had small ch anco o
their seeing any of their inonoy if thn
schnmer had boon given time to collect their
claims. When such risks uro run nnd mon
who arc not able to go to Washington nnd
know no ono thcro must hire their attornevs
ut haphazard , the nnod for a bureau to pro
tect tne people and do their work at reason
able rates is apparent.
The approval with which Tin : EBB enter
prise is received by Journalists and public
men is ns gratifying us Iho responsu of Iho
public.
3HIS DUl'HKIt.lTlOX CK.tlll * .
The expcrionco of Tun HUB CLAIMS
BritBAU ha ? brought out the fact that many
of Its subscribers uo not , understand that the
Indian depredations act passed by iho last
congress annulled all previous contracts for
collccling claims under it. This is n fact
that llioy should know for their own protec
lion. When the act wns siirned all contracts
with agents were maila void by its terras.
The holders of claims were then frco lo make
such bargains with their n6enls as they
pleased , or could refuse to make any bargain
at all.
The framers ( if the act found it necessary
to take Ihis stop for Iho protection of the
claimants. Atlhollmo when Ihero seemed
little chance that suoh an net would bo
txisscd hundreds of claimants unu contracted
with agents to pay oulrugoous fens in case
Iho money could bo collected. Cases are
known in which the claimants had contracted
to give up to Iho agents over ono-hnlf the
amount collected. Cases in which or.o-third
Was promised were not at all uncommon. To
allow these contracts to stand would make
the law not nn act of justice , but , un act of
extortion for tlio bonetit of the claim agents.
The clause was inserted annulling all the
contracts , good , bad and intllffcront , and
limiting the percentage to DO charged by
ageuls lo 15 per cent , wih ; an extra 5 per
cent ullowanco for special cases. The claim
ugonls naturally objected to thl * , asserting
that it was beyond the po-vers of congress ,
but the best opinion of both houses was that
contracts made to colU'ct claims under u law
that did not exist could bo annulled in thse
manner.
On Iho 4th of March , therefore , the claim
ants who had signed contracts were as frco
from obligations to ngonts as these who had
not. If they were salislled with theiragcnts
nnd wl.shcd to sltrn a now contract within tha
It git of compensation llxod by the law , it
was their right , but ncno of thorn were
under any legal obligulion lo do so. The
tnoro unscrupulous of "tha ugonts naturally
represented lo Ihclr clients that they were
bound to renew their contracts , with merely
Iho substitution of iho lurms named by law
for the outrageous commissions nt llrst de
manded. Cases have been brought to the
attention of TIP : HKI : in which this
policy had boon tollowod succos 1 ly ,
by unscrupulous agents. They had in u word
bullied the claimants Into hiring thorn when
if ttio claimants had understood that they
were free of obligation , they would have
chosen ether roprosentr.llves. As others are
being worked upon In thu same way , the
facts of the case are sot forth for their pro-
lection. If they am satislled with Iho mon
they lirit cho o they are riglit in ro-engaging
thorn. If they are not satiliod , they arc free
to engage an body they chooso.
Tnu UKB CLAIMS DUKCAU was established
solely for Iho protection of the public. It
was established on account of Iho complaints
of lls subscribers who thought they were
being unjustly ircalo ; ! , and thoio , still inoro
numerous , who applied to it to llnd n reliable
agent. It will colloi-t the claims at only such
charge * as will p.\y the expenses of the Du-
reau. It is expected Ihat it will rarely Imp-
pen that the limit sot by the law will bo
needed to pav the expanse of collection.
Many of the claims can doubtless be collected
for f > per cent of their face. The bureau is at
the service of the subscribers and public a' ,
large , These who tuko nJvantage of its offer
will save inonoy by it. These who do not
plnco their claims in its charge will save
