Until about six years ago the military
authorities paid $50 for the a]pprehen-
sion of a deserter. AS a result of this
system there arose in the immediate vi
entity of large military posts a class of
men known in the army v%ernacular as
hounds" clothed with the rights of
special officers, who made a business Of
apprehending army deserters for the $50
reward. The reward now paid for the
capture of a deserter is only $40. There
was never a chance for a hound to
make a living at either price.
