WANTED TO SEE HIS Wife
REASON WHY WILLIAM III. MEYERS
DESERTED FROM THE ARMY.
While Stationed at the Arsenal He
Married, and Was Later Trans
ferred to Fort Thomas.

William II. Meyers, $50 East Georgia
street, was arrested yesterday afternoon
by Bicyclemen Askins and Duncan and
locked up at the police station as a de-
serter from the regular army. Meyers was
stationed here at the Arsenal for five years
and while in this city met the young
woman whom he married about year ago.
He was later transferred to Fort Thomas,
Ky. in the Third United States Infantry
and was compelled to leave his wife alone
in this city.
Five months ago his desire to again be
with his wife got the better of his judg-
ment and he deserted from the army and
came back to Indianapolis, where he has
been living since. He was known as an
excellent soldier, and his record had al
ways been the very best prior To his de-
sertion. He served five years I'm the army
and several times during the engagement
with Spain received honorable mention. His
wife called to see him at the police sta
ton yesterday afternoon and her very pres
ence secured for her husband the sympathy
of all the authorities She Is beautiful
woman and was greatly affected at her
husbands misfortune as she talked 10 him
through the prison bars. Meyers will be
taken To Fort Thomas. KY, where he will
be given a court-martial trial for desert

Dies Of Old Accident.

Grand Island, Neb, Feb. 4.-Charles
Stevens, q lad of about II years, died
Friday night, as the result of injuries
received in the storm OF July 4, 1901.

poles and rigging and canvass falling
down over the assembled men, women
and children. There were no fatalities,
strange as it seemed, but several We're
severely injured. Stevens had his skull
fractured to such an extent that he
lowered between life and death for
weeks. The surgeons finally succeeded
in saving life and reason, and the pieces
of skull We're made to grow together
sufficiently for temporary protection.
However,, a silver plate under the weak
portion was designed, but the lad never
became strong enough to dare to I'M
dergo the operation. About two months
ago he became worse, the ailment re-
sulting from the injury and death re-
suited. 1t is related that a similar In
cident occurred to one of the injured
at that time who lives in Hamilton
county, tho the latter was not nearly
so severely hurt, and is now in no
danger. He, too, had apparently recov-
cred from injuries received about the
head in the wrecking of that tent, and
about two months ago commissions set
in. He is now at the hospital in Au
