S. for a Spanish War pension in recognition of his service as Captain of Company H, 1st Volunteers, Territorial Infantry. Mr. Fall is in serious financial straits: his New Mexico ranch was lately sold to meet creditors' claims; the U. S. is trying to collect $235,325 back income taxes from him. If his application is pension-worthy he will receive, per month: at most. $72; at least, $40, according to disabilities proven...
