Pension Office Drops
Veteran by Mistake
Oregon Van Proves That He Isn't
James W. Qllmore, Who P ought In
the Confederate Army.
Washington, May , 8. (WASHING
TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL)
James W. Gilmore of Murphy, Jose
phine county, Oregon, a civil war pen
sioner, 'had the misfortune a few days
ago to become confused with another
J. W. Gilmore, who served in the
Confederate army during the war. The
pension bureau stopped his pension
and began an investigation.
Congressman Hawley became inter
ested in his case and some time ago
presentd evidence to prove that the
Oregon man was not the ex-Confederate.
The two Gilmores, it appears
served in the opposing armies In the
same sectiton of Missouri, and the
Confederate Gilmore quit the army
of the gray shortly Before the Oregon
Gilmore entered the service of the
blue in 1865. This was wnat caused
suspicion to attach.
An investigator of the pension bu
reau has now reported, exonoratlng
the Oregon man from the charge of
disloyalty and It is expected that tne
board of review wilr In a few days
order his name restored to the roll,
with back pay from the time his pen
sion was stopped.
