DESERTER GREW PENITENT
James B. Neal Surrenders to Sher-
iff Julius.
Young Man Deserted From Thir-
tieth Infantry.
Detail Will Come From Fort Smell.
ing For Him.

Shortly before 6 O'Clock last Friday
evening young man walked into the
county jail and gave himself up to
Sheriff VIM. j. Julius. He informed
that official his name was ames A. Neal
and confessed that he had deserted
from the Thirtieth United States in
fantry. He was without money and
asked that the military authorities be
notified of his Whereabouts.
According to Meals story he enlist
ed IN the army at the Chicago recruit
ing station on Dec. 9, 1908, and was
sent to Columbus Barracks, Ohio.
After spending about month there he
was assigned to Company A, Thirtieth
Infantry, stationed at Fort Crook,
Nebraska. He says that his life in the
army was comparatively pleasant but
at times he grew lonesome and home
sick.
On April 18th he was detailed with
squad OF men to repair a rife range
| and they were sent some distance from
the post. While on this service he was
seized with an uncomfortable desire to
return home and without waiting to 90
to the fort and get his citizens clothes
he deserted. Afterward he became
fearful that his officers would capture
him if he ventured to go to the village
in which his parents reside and instead
he headed for Sioux City, Ia. About
a week was spent there and he has
since roamed about the country, bring
ing up in New Ulm Friday night.
After he had related his experiences
Sheriff Julius consulted with Gen. Jos.
Bobleter and the latter telegraphed to
the commander of the Department of
the Dakota at Fort Smelling, telling
him that the fugitive had surrendered.
Gen. Bobleter received reply that a
detail would be sent down from the
fort for Neal and Sheriff Julius was
also notified to hold the man.
Neal is young fellow % years of
age and gives his home as Crawfords-
vile, Iowa. He says that he has a
brother serving with light artillery
regiment in the Philippines and de-
clares that when he enlisted it was his
wish to be sent to the islands. He was
sorely disappointed when he was
| placed in the Thirtieth, which regiment
| returned from foreign service about a
year ago, and is also greatly repentent
for having deserted.
| A sergeant and q private of the
Twenty-first Infantry came down from
Fort Smelling yesterday and took
charge of Neal. He will be placed in
confinement until court martial dis
poses of his case but it is not believed
that his punishment will be servere.
He will probably forfeit his pay for
the period he was absent and in ad-
dition receive a sentence of a couple of
months.
! Next Sunday, May Doth, being the
last Sunday before Decoration Day,
Rev. D. 0. Bean will in accordance
with his custom, give special memorial
sermon at the morning service, render
ing tribute to the loved and lost, as
