Chiillcothe, O.—Stories of how a
neighbor deserter from the Union army
during the Civil war had been brought
to bay In a nearby village by. a United I
States marshal and ahot, brought
visions of a similay fate to Carl Amer-

face a firlDg squad at Camp Sher-
man.
Amerlne, drafted Into the army, left
a wife and two-year old babe at hom*1,
in the quiet, picturesque hills. He
could neither read nor write and the

which he slept most of the tine, ven-
turing forth only at night and nt times

chance of being seen. His only fare
I ""as such, scanty food as his wife could
j get to him, herbs nnd wild b< rrles
gathered from the woods and fVIds
and such wild game ns he could i-atch.
The cave in which he lived Is said
[to be large enough for only one per-
lcon, and could have been defended I
j against many. So closely did he watch j
'ail approaches to his hiding plncothnt j
until a few days ago he had been j
seen by no one except Ms wife nnd a |
brother-in-law.
Military authorities had abandoned |
the search for Amerlne. Three weeks
