ARRESTED FOR DEsERT1oN.
Harry Scholefleld Would Not Face
the Alaska Climate.

Harry Scholefield, who in June last
enlisted in the regular army, and was
assigned to Battery A, Third Artillery,
was arrested by Officers Maley and
Fisher in this city yesterday and will
be taken to San Francisco to answer
to a charge Of desertion.
Young Scholefield enlisted with the
expectation Of going to the front to
fight for the flag. When he enlisted
the battery was stationed at the Pre-
sidio, but was subsequently stationed
at Fort Point, and time hung heavily
upon the hands of the recruit.
After the war was practically over
orders came for the battery to pro-
ceed to the Yukon country to do police
duty, and at that order Scholefield
drew the line. He was willing to fight,
but he did not enlist to freeze, and SO
he deserted.
The battery started for Alaska on
Saturday last, but he decided to take
his buzzard" without waiting for a
regular discharge. He came direct to
Sacramento and took quarters in his
fathers barn at 2214 L street, where,
he states, his little sister brought him
food, and where he was arrested yes
terday by Officers Maley and Fisher.
He will be held until an officer arrives
to take charge of him.
When arrested young Scholefield
stated that he deserted because he did
not want to face an Alaskan winter.
He had had rheumatism, and said ne
would rather accept punishment than
undergo the severe climate of Alaska.
He said he had enlisted for three years
with the understanding that six months
after the close Of the war he could
apply for his discharge, though the
Government reserved the right to grant
or to refuse it.
The penalty for desertion in time OF
war is severe, and it is frequently pun
ished by imposing a sentence OF I'M
prisonment for life. To desert in the
face of an enemy means drum-head
court-martial and a firing squad at
sunrise.
1t is possible that Scholefield's youth
and his willingness to fight for his
country may be accepted in mltlga-
ton of his offense, though members
who form general court-martials ale,
as a rule, not prone to look loon
breaches of discipline with any great
degree of allowance.
