The four moev who hanc weapons aro Giregg Sears, his two Rots un Eime 1 son-in-law, Daniel Wilson. As nearas can be learned from those who claim to be familiur with the cir cumstances, Sears has been living on Piumer's tarm for some time past, but’ had been drinking heavily and ailowing the farm Vall its surroundings to go to waste, Sev. 1 weoks ago some of the creditors stepped and petitioned the district court to appoint ateceiver. Peters was appointed, and ever since that time ho has been holding down the farm against all comors. he Sears outlit, in the made up their minds not ty run them off entively, and made numerous threats as 1o what tticy would do if he did not retire and leave the fieid to them. Peters wis somewhat alarmed by the threats, and had a number of able bodied fricnds stay with i Thursday ovening to assist him in case it was uecessary. Th evening wore wway aud 1o one appe to molest thew, 0 about 10 o'ciock the visit ors went away and left, Peters alone with a boy about 15 years of age, who lives in this city at the corner of Twenty-seventh avenue and Tenth street. Shortly after the departure of his friends, Peters heard a noise and 4 moment later saw tho barrel of a shotgun stuck through a paue of glass and leveled direc:ly a Quick as thought he drew a revolv d shot into the air, 0 as to show the man who was ut the other end of the gun that he was pre- man with the wun, who after- ward proved to be old man Sears, responded in turn, and the contents of the barrel of the cun were emptied into Peters’ lez. The other threo mon in the meantime were working busily with their revolvers, and several snots wero fired at Peters, sqine of them taiing effect. The assailants then broke a hole in the door and entered. The boy was speedily kicked out of doors and ran three miles bard fooied across the country to the Plumer house, where he gave the alarm. party of men at once setout for the of “the encounter, but when they ar- the attacking party had made good their escape. Before they went, however, they administered a terrible beating 10 Pofers, who was found lying in a pool of blood on the floor, alive, but vieeding from u number of severe wounds in the arms and limbs and on the scalp and face. He was woved to Plumer's house, Twenty-three shot were found to havo lodged in his limb. His brnises were very severe, but not fatal, and 1 a few days he will be brought to a hospital in this city for treatment. A warrant was issued in Justice Hammer's court yesterday for tho arrest of the four men o the charge of assault with intent to com mit murder. Constablo Nicholson and a posse of assistantsstarted in pursuit and all day was spent in tinding them. The members of the gang bear a very hard reputation n the vicin- ity where they live and have terrorized their neighbors on a number of oceasions. Oue of the Sears bovs is snid to be out on bond now pending a trial on the charge of stabbing his father i a drunken fray at Glenwood. Last evening Nicholson returned with the four meu in tow and they were locked up in the county jail.

Any pensioner under the old law, whose disability hus incroased since date of the issuo of his last pension certificate, may ob tain an increase of pension proportionate to ns, dire for one or same time incurredi n obtain ad NEY Soldiers pensioned at less than $12 per mouth for disability mcuried in the sorvice, who aro also suffering from other disability of any nature, not due to #iciou s habits, may obtain daitional pension under the new aw. Tuis pension commences from the date of filing the claim and cannot oxcood $12 per mouth. The new law is of special ad- vantage to this class of pensioners, for the reason thatif they have a disavility other than that for which they are pensionod, they way obtain additioual relief from date of fil ing claim, and 1f, in the future, tho disability for which they 'were oriqwnally pensioned under tho old 1&W 1ncreases to such an extent as to_ecutitle them to more thun $i2 per month, they may surreuder their ponsion under the new law and resume the pension under tho old lnw at such increased r wuy bo proportionate to the degree of dis- ability at that time. Ponsioners at less than §12 per month, de- sir crease of pension, will tind it to their advantage to appiy unuer both the old aad new law, for the reason that any increase up 10 §12 per month will date from the day the s filed in the pnsion bureau. wherous a claim for increase under the old law, will secure increased pension auty from tho date of oxamiuation, ‘which, on’ aceount of the wori 1n the pension buréau boing very much delaved.is usaally somo months after the date of filing the claim.

TO APPLY FOR 1! WAl WARRANT, HowW NSIONS, Tie Beg axp Exaxisgr Buneav o Criivs was originally organized for the special pur- pose of affording claimants vnder the Indian depredation act of March 3, 1801, the means. of relief from the exhorbitant charges of un- scrupulous agents and attorneys who had beeu charging their clients from 3315 per cout to 50 per cent of the amount of their claims, but so many ex-soldiers and tho widows and orphans of soldiers offerel their claims for prosecution that it becamo cvident that the field of usefulness of the bureau was 1ot confined to the interests of claimants on account of tho depredations of Indians, and the scope and plans of the bureau have beon enlarged to meet the constantly increasing demand for its services iu bebalf of the sol- dier public. The bureau does nothing by halves, and a soon o it was docided that the claims of sol- diers and their heirs must occupy a large share of its attention an effort was made (0 secure the sorvices of un expert and thoroughly re- liable a'torney to whom could bo safely en- trusted the delicate and_important interests of its soldier clients, and whose work would meet their expectation. In this the bureau has been cminently successful, having so- cured the services of Mr. Carroll D. Judson; inte special examiner of the pension bureau, who resigned his_ofticial position under the government to take charge of the pension claim business of Tite BEr BUiesv oF CLAIYS. Mr. Judson has spent pewrly half a life- timein prosecuting ciaims of ex-soldiers and bewrs. He brings to theclients of the Bureau the frints of many years’ experienco in the prosecution of their claims, and a thovough kunow'edge of the practice and methods o the pension bureau gained through his officia position therein, Whenever it is foand that any for advice is justly entitled to pens additional allowances from the gov the propor papers will ba preparea tion and forwarded to him by return without charg If the applicant then desires the sorvices of the bureau in the prosecution of his claim,he will execute the pers sent him according t0 1structions, which will be muiled there- with for his guidance, after which he will return them to the the oftice of tho bureau, aud upon their arrival there the claim will bo promptly filed in the proper department and prosecited to completion at tho earliost practicavle date ond with the utmost care and diligence, No charges will ke made in any pension claim until the ullowance of the same, and then only tho legal fee fixed by law. In claims for increaso of pension, the fee charged by this bureau is only §2, payablo only in the ovent of the allowance of the claim. In other claims the amount usual varies according 1o the natureof the case and the law upon the subjoct. Whenever the statoment of facts presented fails to indicate the existence of a just and valid claim, the applicant will be so advised., Tu Ber Burey or CLAINS has for its ob- ject the securing of ““justice to vetorans” and their heirs aad will undertake no claims that are manifestly without merit or il legl, If anyove to whom this circular comes wishies a copy of the same for the information of uny comrade, ncighbor, friend, or auy numberof them, the same will be cher fully mailed to each person whose namo and post oftico address he sends to Tui: Bee Bt Cranys for that purpose, Thousands of deserving, and in many stances, needy ex-soldiers, veterans of muny fierce battles, and the widows and orphians of such, have often felt themselves justlv en titled to reuief and assistance at tho hauds of the government which they so nobly fouznt for in the hour of peril, yet have not applied for pension or other allowances due them for the €imple reason that they were not familiar with the *‘rad tape” requirements of the gov- ernmont, and were not personally acquainted with an attornoy ur an agont in Washington or elsewhore, who was in possession of the technical knowiedgo necessary to enable him to trausact the busiuess properly, and were unwilling to entrust a matter so delicate and important to any of the thousands of ago nts and atwrneys ‘whoso pretentious circulars thoy were receiving constantly; while man others equally desorving and to whom a po sion woula bé at least a partial relief from tho burden of arduous daily manual labor, per- formed nuder the aifigulty and pain incident to disense and advanaing age, have failed to apply for the pension which is justly due them, because they were not aware of their vights and priviloges wuter the pension laws.

It will take claims under this law and prosecute them for persous who o not know whom to engage for the service. I'he business entrusted to the bureau Washington is bei prosecLted with energy. I'hic Indian depredations patent, land mining and other claims before the courts d departments are being pushed as rapidly as prssible, with no delays on aceunt of large amount of business which has been sont to tho bureau, The lar mount of claims ntrusted toits careis a standing proof of \ho teem and confidence in which Tue Bree is held by the public which itserves. It is like- wise a demonstration, if one was required, o he need of such an organization The rov regard to the Loomis agency which published recently go even furtherin the same direction. When # man sought for by the police for nearly'a year on a warrant for embezzlement can sot up as a claim agent, flood the western coun- try with circulars and receive assignments for several million dollar’s worth of claims, it uppears that there is little protection for the claimant whosends to an unknown repre- seotative. The men who assigned theirelaim to Loomis would have had small chance o their seeing any of their money if tba schamer had been given time to collect thei claims. When such risks aro run and men who are not able to go to Washington and know no one there must hive their attornevs at haphazard, the necd for a burean to pr tect the people and do their work at reason- able rates is apparent. The approval with which Tur Ber enter- prise is received by journalists and public men is as gratifying as the response of the public. THE DEPREDATION CLAIMS. The experience of Tue Bre Crarws Buieau has brought out the fact that many of its subseribers do not understand that the Tudiau depredations act passed by the last congress anulled all previcus contracts for collecting claims under it. This isa fact that thoy shoutd know for their owa protec tion. When the act was siened all contracts with agents were made void by its terms. Tho holders of claims wore then frce to mai such bargaius with their asents as the pleascd, or could refuse to make any bargain atall, The framers of the act found it necessa totake this step for tne protectiou of the claimants. Atthe time when there scemed littlo chance that such an act would be passed hundreas of claimants baa contracted with agents to pay outragoous fens in case tho money could be cotlocted. Ca known in which the claimants had contractod togiye unto tho awents over one-l umount collected. Cases in which ol was prowmised wero not at ail uncommon. aliow these contracts to stand would make the law not an act of justice, but an act of cxtortion for the benefit of the cluim agents. The clause was inserted annulling all the contracts, good, bad and indifferent, and limting the percentuge to bo ch agents to 15 per cent, with an extra cent ullowance for speciul cases. Tho c ugents naturally objected to this, asserting that it was bevond the po-vers of congress but the best opinion of both houses wus tha contracts made to collect claims ul o law that did not exist could be anuulled in thse manuer. On the 4th of March, therefore. the claim ants who bad signed Coutracts were as free from obligations to ngonts as those who had uot. If they werc satistied with theiragents and wished 10 sien a new contract within the li£ it of compensation fixed by the law, it was their right, but ncne of them were under any legal obiigation to do so. The more unscrupuleus of tho agents naturally represented to their clients that they wero bouud to ronew their contracts, with merely the substitution of the terms named by law for the outrageous commissions at first de- manded. Cases have been brought to the attention of Tus Bee n which this policy hbad been ftollowed succes 1ly, by unscrapulous agents. Thev hnd in aw ord bullied the claimants into hiring thom when if the claimants had understood that they were free of obligation, they would hav chosen other ropresentutives. As others are being worked upon in the same way, the facts of the case ure set forth for their pro- tection. If they are satisfied with the men they first chose they are right in ro-engaging thom, I thoy are uot satified, they are froe to enjage anbody they chuose. Tue Bee Cranis BUkeau was established solely for tho protection of the public. It was establishod on aceount of the complaints of its subscribers who thought they were beiug unjustly treated, and those, still more numerous, who applied to it to find a reliablo agent. 1t will collect the clains at only such churges as will pay the expenses of the tu reau. It is expected that it will ravely hup pen that the limit set by the law will be nceded to pav the exponse of colloction Many of the claims can doubtiess be collected for 5 per cent of their face, The burcau is at the service of the subscribers and public a large. Those who take aivantago of its offor will save monoy by it. Those who do not place their claims in its charge will Vo monoy, tao, for it has put a chock on the r: pacity of the agents who would otherwise foel free to take the last penuy the law al lows.
