time and an alarm had been sent out
for him. Finally he was located by
the local police and arrested yester-
day afternoon by Patrolman Lowman

Thomas McGuckain. The negro was
arrested at his boarding place. No. 81
Water street, in the Third Ward. He
was carried back to Camp Meade un-
der arrest by Patrolman James Low
man this morning.
While it is not thought likely that
the man will be given the extreme
penalty of military law. his offense is
one of the most serious. Desertion in
time of war unless there be eXtenu-
ating circumstances is an offense pun
ishable by death
