The former cashier came this morning on No. 1 over the Burling ton but v as taken to Omr.ha and was nut at the train at that place by Sheriff P.crt Reed and with compan ions on the homeward trip. Senator V. B. Banning of Union, the present cashier of the Bank of Union and Deputy Sheriff V. It. Young, he was brought on to this city. Immediately on reaching this city Mr. Patterson was taken to the court house where his arrival had been preceded oy the array of ;niar.a press photographers and reporters and un der the fire of the cameras and ques tioning of the reporters he made hi? way to the county court to hear the reading of the complaint that was filed here Friday night and which charges him with embezzlement of a government bond of $1,000 which it is alleged was the property-of Mrs. Nettie Miller. To the charge as filed by County Attorney V.'. G. Kieek for the state Mr. Patterson entered a pla of'riot giulty and was represented at the hearing by Frank S. Howell of Oma ha. The bond was set by Judge A. H Duxbury at the amount of 51,500 anc which was supplied and the former banker allowed to proceed on his way to meet the family that had so long been awaiting his coming. At the court house Mr. Patterson was met by his father, Thomas M. Patterson, who gave the returned son a most affectionate greeting an;1 Joseph Fetzer, father of Mrs. Patter son was also present to greet the young man and after the hearing at the court house Mr. Fetzer accom panied his son-in-law to the Fetzer home where Mrs. Patterson and chil dren have made their home since the disappearance of Mr. Patterson. Mr. Patterson states that the years have been trying ones to him and the relief that the exile is over is more than words can express and he has hern delighted with the friendly feel ing that the old friends here have given him. His once dark and lux uriant hair is greyed as that of a man cf sixty and his face thin and marked with the lines of care showed the effects of the three years that he has spent alone. When leaving here Mr. Patterson weighed 1ST pounds and bore but lit tle tracts of his 35 years but today he has failed off to 157 pounds and his head greyed and careworn face makes him a man of seemingly fifty five or sixty years. While the family has spent these years in grief at his supposed death his disappearance has been followed closely by investigators of the insur rr.ee companies and their chase over the continent on tips and rumors has cost them some $10,000 it is claimed. The whereabouts of the missing man was revealed in a letter sent to Platts mouth hist December and which was turned over to the insurance com panies last Thursday and immediate ly followed by the apprehension of Patterson. Worry over the loans that had been made in the deflation period and .personal oblgiations was largely the "cause ascribed by Mr. Patterson for his decision to disappear and to have his family and friends consider him as dead, he stated to the officers. At times he had become so worried that he was unable to clearly see bis way out of the difficulties and led to the thought of suicide and the f.nal decision to disappear and leave the impression of his drowning. Af-tf-r he had left Chicago he had wan dered in search of work and many times had lived on twenty-five cents a day and slept wherever was pos soble until he secured the position in the oil station that he kept until he was located by the searchers the last week. lie. had been in the em ploye of the oil company from August 1924 down to the present time and had led a lonely life with but few acquaintances that he had made at I Dovey was awarded the first prize the oil station.

The setting is a most beautiful one, the parade ground is Kept cm.-o- ly clipped all the time and presents an appearance of green velvet, sur rounded by a high hedge of beauti ful and stately shade trees, among which are the fine brick officer's quarters of the 17th Infantry, and opposite them, on the opposite side of the parade ground and beneath similar beautiful shade trees are the 17th Infantry Barracks. A car line runs from th'rity of Omaha to the post for the use of those desiring it. In addition to this a bus and taxi service is maintained to Omaha. The six hundred and twenty-seven boys from over the states of Nebras ka and Iowa form cne battalion of four companies, named officially as A, B. C. and D. Each company has .1 double row of pyramidal tents, such as are used by the regulars and six boys make each tent their home These tents are new and rainproof, they have a new floor, whkh is rais ed six inches from the ground. The boys each have a gold nidal cot. matresses. sheets, and blankets and are as comfortable as peas in a pod, and things are equally neat in each tent as said peas. It is marvelous In deed, and the things they are learn ing about neatness, orderliness, obed ience and sanitation, to say nothing of their development caused by sup ervised exercise and regular habits, will ever be with them to their great credit. On Monday and Tuesday of this week the boys were on the range at Plattsmouth, ten miles from Fort Crook.

A ten minute halt blng made every hour in which the men adjust their cloth ing and equipment, and rest.
