The authorities at Ft Thomas have learned that George Maxfield,
who is alleged to be a deserter and who escaped from a guard Friday, was in
Dayton on that day and purchased a pair of overalls. Maxfield, who is supposed
to be from Carrollton, is alleged to have said to the merchant where he
purchased the clothes that he was homesick and wanted to see his mother. He is
still at large.
