John H. Marshall Boyd, KY Dear Sir.-In reply to your letter of 13th inst. to say you and others citizens of Pendleton County, Kentucky, were drafted under the calls of the President made Feb. 1st and Mar. 14th, 1864. No draft was made under the call of December 19th, 1964. J. S. Nixon, as receiver of commutation money under the act of March 3, 1864 and the amendments thereto on Feb. 24th 1864, after receiving $300 from each drafted man gave you exemption papers signed by Henry A. Mitchell, Acting Provos Marshall and President of Board of Enrollment, E. W. Hawkins, Member and E. P. Buckner, Surgeon. J. S. Nixon filed all the claims in the War Department, 67 in number, under the Act Feb. 28, 1867, to recover the money because of the fact you had been illegally drafted, Pendleton County not being liable to draft, having furnished the quota. These claims were referred to Capt. Geo. E. Scott, in charge of enrolling branch A. G. O. He held the claims did not come under the law. But when he examined them he found that they were just, and had them properly filed and registered in view of the passage of an amendment to the act of Feb. 8, 1867, to pay them. On May 5gh, 1884, Mr. Clay introduced H. R. Bill 6888, for the relief of certain drafted men of Pendleton county, KY (48th Congress, 1st Session) That bill went to the Committee on War Claims, which referred these claims to the United States Court of Claims, under the act of March 3rd, 1883. That court on May 1st 1886, rendered opinion in your congressional case No. 106, and other drafted men of Pendleton Co. KY dismissing them for want of justification. The papers in these cases are now in the Clerk's room in the House of Representatives, where your representative, Hon. John G. Carlisle can at any time see them. The style of the case in Court: Court of Claims Congressional Case No. 106 John H. Marshall and others, drafted men of Pendleton County, Kentucky vs The United States J. Scofield delivered the opinion of the Court. I Hereby return Mr. Carlisle's Letter. Truly yours, W. S. Haviland Washington, D. C. , Feb 22, 1889 Jno. H. Marshall Boyd, KY Dear Sir - I herewith return the letter of Mr. Haviland. The papers were found in the Clerk's Office. The claims were dismissed by the Court as Mr. Haviland states, and the War Department has come to the conclusion that the draft was properly name, which precludes a successful prosecution of the claims. Nothing further can be done. Very respectfully., J. G. Carlisle Harrison County Courier Saturday 2 Mar 1889 Vol. 2 No. 27 Pg.1 Col. 6 HORRIBLE HYDROPHOBIA Dr. Jas. Smiser, the Physician, in a Precarious Condition Our city is at present excited over a case of apparent hydophobia, and the excitement is all the more intense over the fact that it is a physician and a man of wide reputation. - Dr. Jas. H. Smiser. About a month ago a horse belonging to Mrs. A. Calhoun, residing on Leesburg pike, was attacked with a malady of some sort, but which afterward developed into hydrophobia. Dr. Smiser was summoned to aid the animal's suffering. He responded, and while in the act of applying medicine the horse crushed the bottle, which the doctor held in his hand and a piece of the glass scratched the right hand of the Doctor. Into this wound some saliva from the horse's mouth dropped. Carelessly wiping it off, the Doctor paid no more attention to it. The animal failed to recover and died in a few days. Nothing more was thought of the matter until Wednesday, when the Doctor complained of some very peculiar symptoms, similar to those of approaching hydrophobia. The recollection of attending the diseased horse then came to minds of his family, and the worst of fears were realized. The suffering of acute pain continued until Thursday, when the shock became greater and the Doctor was attacked with several spasms. At the hour of going to press he was resting easy and some better, but a constant watch is entertained, and every one hopes for the best. A mad-stone was procured yesterday and successfully applied to the wound. Harrison County Courier Saturday 2 Mar 1889 Vol. 2 No. 27 Pg.1 Col. 6 ROME'S RUNAWAY Matrimonial Mischief Makes much Merriment When pure love seeks to outdo its objectors you can always count on love being victorious. An example of true loyalty occurred in this city Wednesday when Mr. Rome and Miss Petty, of Tricum, eloped to Cincinnati and were married. The engagement was strenuously objected to by the bride's parents, but it was to no avail. The groom came to town Monday morning and went to the dress-making establishment of Mrs. Redmon, on Pike street, where he left orders for a dress, for his bride, to be made by Wednesday. On the day mentioned the groom and bride came, having escaped the vigilance of relatives, and repaired to Mrs. Redmon's establishment, where the bride could arrange her new toilet. It was then after 7 p.m. After due preparation the pair sent a sentinel to the front door to see if the coast was clear, when, lo and behold, there appeared two big strapping brothers of the bride, demanding their sister. Locking the door the sentinel returned and reported the facts as they stood. The situation was alarming, and after a careful meditation it was resolved to escape by the back way. A step ladder was procured and the bride and groom managed to get over a half dozen fences and reach Walnut street. They then walked to Poindexter station, a distance of 4 miles, on the K. C. where they remained until the next morning, when they boarded the North bound train for Cincinnati and were duly married. The anxious brothers stood guard until three o'clock, and finally abandoned the matter after a renewed search the next day.

Martin has built a very neat, convenient residence on Chestnut street, between Eighth and Ninth, which caused suspicions to arise in the minds of some of his intimate friends, as to what his future intentions were, and it was not until last Saturday when he donned a new silk tile, and left for San Diego that it dawned upon their minds that he intended to take unto himself a better half. Although the announcement in the press yesterday of Mrs. Lida Bowman of Chula Vista, on Sunday was a surprise many of his acquaintance, some of their intimate friends who were aware that the newly married couple would arrive in this city on the 7:28 motor last evening, arranged to give them a pleasant surprise in their new home. About sixty of their neighbors and friends gathered at the residence at 7 o'clock and with the lights all in the read of the house awaited in darkness the arrival of the bride and groom. To say that they were completely surprised to find their home occupied by such a company of jolly people is putting it mild. When the light were brought into the parlor and sitting room the happy pair were overwhelmed with congratulations. The evening was passed very pleasantly in social converse and the partaking of refreshments which had been provided by the ladies. Altogether it was a decidedly enjoyable occasion. Mrs. Bowman is the youngest sister of Mrs. A. H. Ward of this city, and her many friends unite in wishing her success on her matrimonial sea voyage.

His head was bruised in, and he is believed to have been murdered. A certain Roman-nosed individual living near Connersville, is very anxious to marry. In fact, nearly crazy. He came to town the other day to purchase some goods, and while the lady clerk was awaiting his orders, he proposed to her, but was flatly refused. A few day previous he had sent a card, desiring to call on one of the wealthiest ladies in town but had been refused.
