It is alleged that Winders deserted about twelve months ago, since which time, according to his own statement, he has been in Michigan, Minnesota and other northwestern states.
To the arrestng officers Winders stated that he was taken sick while in the army, and the surgeon refused to give him medical attention. He left, he said, and went to a hospital, where he spent $200. as a result of his illness.
Chief Edwards left for Fort Thomas Wednesday afternoon with his prisoner, for whose arrest a reward of $50. was outstanding.
