Recovers Lost Paper.
Chas. R. Leidy of Toledo was a much surprised man one day this week when he received from Congressman Albert Johnson in Washington, D. C., his discharge from the U. S. army. Mr. Leidy lost the discharge with other things in Tacoma in 1911. In writing Congressman johnson in regard to a pension, Mr. Johnson sought to look up his service record and in the archives of the war department the lost discharge was found and returned to Mr. Leidy, who in turn was very happily surprised. Mr. Leidy by the the way was a sergeant in the U. S. coast artillery when discharged and was rated as a 1st class gunner.
