from California and the war depart
ment in Washington, and a hand
rested upon Henry G.. Johnson, en-
ployed in Harry O'Connor's soft
drink establishment late yesterday,
Johnson being wanted as deserter
from the United States army. The
arrest was made by Deputy Sheriff
Denley who will receive the usual
reward of $50 from the government
for the arrest of deserters.
For four years, Johnson has eluded
the eye of the law but will now be
turned over to the federal authori-
ties in Bemidji or taken to Fort
Smelling.
Johnson enlisted as private in
the Coast artillery and when he de-
serted he was member of the
148th. The date Of his enlistment
was December 10, 1912, and he gave
his residence as Blackjack, Mimi.
His alleged desertion is said to have
been from Fort Baker, Cal, May %,

States, sent by the British recruit
ing mission, will speak at the Elko
theater at S:45 o'clock, after the
first show, and there will be no ad-

He was a former member of the
Royal Flying Squadron, and after
bringing down several enemy air
craft was shot in his left shoulder
and fell 1000 feet with his plane
1t was two weeks before he knew

simply speak to the people of Bemidji

government and it will be well worth
istening to.
