Blungren, Sixteenth infantry, while acting as guard of Private John Gross, a de- serter from the Fifteenth = infantry, wounded Gross in the head to prevent his escape. The shooting occurred in the east cantonment. Unknown to his custo- dian, Gross had secured possession of a revolver. Suddenly confronting him with the weapon, he compelled Blun- gren to throw away his rifié and raise his hands; firing a shot to intimidate him. Then he started to run. Blun- gren darted for his gun, chased Gross|. through the woods and fired twice. The | second shot struck the fugitive in the head and stopped him. He was secured and removed to the Letterman general hospital, where it was sald he would recover.
