DESERTER CAUGHT
AFTER LONG SEARCH
Duluth vaerant Talks Too Much and
Discloses His Identity.

Frank Nauruth, deserter from the
army for whom the government had
searched for the past three years, was
brought to st. Paul yesterday from
Duluth in charge Of three regulars, and
will be court martialed at Fort Shell
ing.
Nauruth had just completed thirty
day sentence in the Duluth county Jail
for vagrancy, and it was while he was
confined in that institution that his
identity became known. He was pick
ed up recently in Duluth under the new
yagrancy ordinance. Unable to give a
satisfactory account of himself, he was
found guilty and sent to jail. During
his incarceration he confided to several
of the inmates that he had deserted
from the army, and the story spread
until 1t reached the ears of the recruit
ing officers there. They wired to Brig.
Gen. Kobbe at st. Paul and asked that
the records of the department be
searched to ascertain If such a man
was wanted. 1T was found that Maui
ruth was fugitive, and arrangements
were made to- take the prisoner into
custody. His, term of sentence ex-
pired Sunday, and detachment of SOL
diers was at the jail ready to receive
him.

The big banquet room was decorat-

American flag being in evidence every
where about the gaily lighted room.
The members OF the different COM
panies met at the armory, and, in
charge of their officers, marched to
the scene of festivities. Owing to some
misunderstanding the soldiers were al
most an hour late in arriving, and
rumors were circulated that they had
been lost in the snowstorm, but the
run1ors proved to be without founda-
ton, and after the arrival Of the neatly
uniformed guardsmen the festivities
were carried on without further inter-
ruption.
