Headline -
Text Sheriff Houston arrested at Seligman last week a man upon suspicion who has confessed that he is a deserted from Ft. Riley training camp and that his correct name is J. M. Wilson of Stoddard county. He had been around Cassville a few days and had worked at the crushing plant. While here his actions and talk had aroused suspicion of the Sheriff. Later he went to Seligman and had obtained a job there loading timber. When working here he gave his name as George Nash. He used the same name at Seligman. Not until Sunday when closely pressed by the Sheriff did he confess that his name was Wilson, that he was a Stoddard county registrant and had deserted from training camp at Ft. Riley.
