DESERTED FROM THE GUARDS
PALACE' SENZTRY WALKS. S23 MILES. LONDON, May 20. . Having trammed 523 miles to Aberdeen, Private Sivewright, of the Scots Guards, suddenly appeared at his homo, kissed his mother and dropped exhausted in a chair, thus clearing up the mystery of his disappearance from his sentry post at Buckingham Palace on April" 30. Sivewright said that he had been bullied and ragged by his comrades, who were jealous of his getting a stripe (which he later lost) inside two years. He impulsively decided to clear out when a non-coin, promised him punishment for having borrowed another soldier's overcoat. An escort of Guards has left London to bring back the deserter.
