DESERTERS
CAPTURED
TWO MEN BELIEVED TO BE WANT
ED AT FORT RUSSELL APPRE-
HENDED BY MARSHAL.
They Had Sold Shoes Like Those Worn
by Soldiers and One of Them Was
Wearing Understanding Issued to
Troops-Partial Confession Sc
cured by officer.

Claude Fisher and Louis May, young
men about % or % years of age, II
believed to be deserters from the Unit
ed States army, were arrested by Mar
shall Sigman this morning, and locked
I'D in the city Jail until he had time to
take them to Fort D A. Russell, at
Cheyenne, where they will be deliv-
cred to the commandant of that post.
The marshal secured a partial confess
sion from the young men.
Practical Confession.
The officer was attracted to the men
when he learned hat they had dis
posed of some shoes like those usually
supplied to soldiers in the army. He
traced the shoes back to Fisher and
May, and when he found them on the
street he placed them under arrest.
At the station one of them was found
to be wearing underwear similar to
that issued to soldiers. The other had
evidently disposed of his outfit. The
men were placed in the calaboose, and
as they went through the door one of
them remarked, Eve might as well
own up; it's all off with us"
Officer on the Watch.
Marshal Sigman had been watching
the men for some time, and when he
found they had sold shoes like those
worn by soldiers, he felt sure his sus'
picions were correct. Every move.
ment of the young men after their ar.
rest indicated that they were the men
wanted. One of them made an effort
to get away from the officer, but II
availed not. The train was reported
three hours late, and The Republican
was not able to learn at the hour OF
going to press whether or not they had
been identified at Fort Russell.
