Description:Excerpt from Decisions of the Department of the Interior in Cases Relating to Pension Claims, Vol. 3: And to the Laws of the United States Granting and Governing Pensions; With Appendix This volume is confined to departmental rulings made by the present Assistant Secretary of the Interior. It differs from the volumes that precede it in presenting a line of consistent decisions involving legal questions, and in evincing a broader spirit of interpretation. This distinction of the book establishes its chief value as an accurate guide in the administration of the pension laws. The bestowal of pensions was authorized by the Government's self assumed obligation to care for those who should incur either disease or injury by reason of line of duty in the military service. Such being the foundation of the pension system, it becomes of first importance to ascertain the breadth and limitations of that line. When considering this fundamental point, at the beginning of this administration, the Assistant Secretary was confronted by the narrow and, obviously, erroneous ruling which had been made, June 25, 1886, in the case of William M. Ammerman (Decisions relating to Pensions, Vol. I, p. 5), and also by that which had been announced in the case of William H. Brockenshaw, July 23, 1887 (Decisions relating to Pensions, Vol. I, p. 194), involving the relation of accidental injuries to the line of duty. The decisions in these two cases, as made by the preceding administration, were, upon motions for reconsideration, overruled by Assistant Secretary Bussey - the case of Ammerman, on March 25, 1889, and the case of Brokenshaw, on April 19, 1889; and, thereby, the definition of line of duty, as expressed in the existing rulings, was so broadened as to include accidental injuries incurred by the soldier without fault or provocation on his own part, while in his proper place.
