ARMY DESERTER
SURRENDERS AT
LOCAL STATION
Earl Robinson of Blytheville
Asks TO be Restored to
Old Regiment.
SAYS HE is ANXIOUS
TO SERVE HIS COUNTRY
Sergeant O'ROurke Holds Young
Man Awaiting Instructions
From War Department.

Riled by his conscience and longing
to serve his country in time. of war
Earl Robinson, Is years old, of Blythe
vile, Ark, surrendered to Sergeant
O'Rourke of the local recruiting sta
ton yesterday noon, declaring he had
deserted the army last fall and wished
to return to the ranks. He is being
held by the Sergeant until the latter
communicates with the War Depart
ment to ascertain what to do in the
matter.
Young Robinson, who has been en-
ployed on a drainage ditch on the Ar
kansas line during the last three
months, said he joined the infantry
early last year at Fort Hancock, N.
j., and was later assigned to guard
duty at Fort Jay, on Governors Island
in the State of New York, where, sew
eral hundred soldiers, punished for va
rious offenses against the regulations
of the army, were held prisoners.
The abuse and mistreatment by his
sergeant, Young Robinson said, caused
him to leave the army. He obtained
leave of absence for one day and
while on the furlough, decided to leave
his post. He boarded the train and
left for his home early last September
after serving six months in the army.
He worked as a farm hand near Para
gould and Blytheville and finally OBJ
tanned position as signal operator
on a dredge line. "My act of desert
ing the army began to worry me, and
1 was often tempted to surrender,
but my nerve failed every time," he
told reported for The Tribune" l
quit a position paying 500 a month in
order to come to the Cape and sur
render.
After hearing the young mans
story, Sergeant O'Rourke made out his
report to the War Department, and
at the same time telegraphed to Wash
ington for further instructions. In the
the young man will be held
under the surveillance of the officers
of the local recruiting station.
Sergeant O'Rourke said he believed
the War Department would be lenient
with the young man. He said he be-
lieved Young Robinson would be given
a fine and then restored to his COM
pany, or perhaps some other regiment.
In view Of the fact that the young
man returned voluntarily and ex-
pressed the desire to fight for his coun-
try, the military authorities in all
would show the young man
mercy and give him another chance.

MO. SIXTH SEEN In
FIRST PUBLIC DRILL
Cape Company Led by Capt. Balm
Marches Through Streets
Cheered by Hundreds.

The first public drill of the Cape
company of the Missouri Sixth was
held last night. Leaving the West
End Hall, where the regular drills are
held during the week, the company
marched down Pacific street to Good
Hope and turned north again at the
intersection of Good Hope and Ellis
returning to the hall.
Capt. Wilson Balm, who led the
company, was well pleased with the
showing of his men. He said his COM
mands were carried out as regularly
and precisely as though his men had
a long military training. The COM
pany was greeted by hundreds of citi-
zens, and were wildly cheered by
number of ladies as they marched
down Ellis street.
Robert Harrison, a graduate of the
Western Military Academy of Alton,
H., was made first sergeant of the
company by Capt. Balm last night.
Other appointments are expected to
be announced in a Short time Ser
geant Winkler, who was stationed on
the border as member of the Mis-
souri, First last summer, has also
joined the ranks of the local company
Capt. Balm has received letter from
Grigadier General H. c. Clark inform
ing him of the ruling of the War De-
partment, that every man who volun-
teers after June 30 will be subject to
draft, even as a member of the Ma
t;onal Guard. In view of that fact,
the captain and other officers of the
Cape company are making tremend-
Gus effort to fill the company to war
strength before the end of the week.
In telegram received last Satur-
day, Capt Balm was instructed to get
at least $50 men for the local COM
pany in order to fiji the ranks to war
strength. In all probability, the Brig
adler General says, the recruiting of
volunteers Will be stopped after June
80, and should a man become a men,
Der of the National Guard after that
date and be subject to selective draft, |
he may be taken from the ranks Of |
the home company and assigned to
duty in the regular army of the United |
States.

]. Il. PRICE MADE
RAILROAD MANAGER
Will Take Management of the
Douglas County Railroad
October l.

The management Of the Ava and
Mansfield Railroad, a short line lead
ing from the Frisco to Douglas Coun-
ty, was rendered to Joseph H. Price
by the board of directors and the re-
ceiver of the railroad. Mr.. Price was
called to ST. Louis late last week to
meet the officials of the railroad, and
after short conference, the contract
for the new position was agreed upon
by the directors and Mr.. Price.
Mr.. Price said yesterday that he
would not take UP his new duties be-
fore October 1. 1t would require sew
eral months, he said, to wind up his
personal affairs in the Cape. He will
move his family to Ava, Mo-, where
the headquarters of the railroad are
located.
The railroad, of which Mr.. Price was
appointed manager, is in the hands of
a receiver at present. The line is near
ly twenty miles long, leading from the
main line of the Frisco, beginning at
Mansfield, to Ava in Douglas County.
The railroads business, Mr.. Price
said, had increased to such an extent
during the last few months that the
receivership will be lifted in u short
time and the line extended about thir-
tV miles,

The house passed the compromise
workmen's compensation act Saturday
afternoon by unanimous vote and after
its passage members showed their
pleasure by vigorously applauding
There were no speeches made for or
against the bill. Representative Bates
of Ada county, VINO had charge Of It,
briefly explained it's provisions and
without further comment the roll was
called. When the bill was reported to
the house from the senate it was re-
ferred to the state affairs committee.
This was done because one member,
Grice, had stated that he could not
vote for bill he had not read. The
state affairs committee and Grice went
over its provisions. Later it was unan-
imously reported out by the commit
tee for passage, the rules suspended
and the measure passed.
NO DISSENTING VOICE.
The outstanding feature of the fight
over the workmen's compensation act
during the session of the legislature,
was that after the compromise bill was
reported by the conference committee
there was not a dissenting vote against
it in either house on final passage.
Those members in both the senate
and house who had bitterly opposed
other compensation acts and by so do
ing had made the session of the Four
teenth Idaho legislature one long to be
remembered because of that fact, were
like the lion and the lamb on the last
