The military authorities Of the

from Washington l24 men were dis
charged from the army for various
reasons which the government sum

phrase, "for the good of the service"
These men have no charge against
them and will not be interned. In
stead they were provided with travel
expenses and permitted to return to
their homes in the various states
from which they came. They are,
IN the language Of the government

enlistment" and their future conduct
will come in for close surveillance.

ANOTHER ATTACK On
SERVICE CAR DRIVER
Second Attempt n -Four Monlhs to
Bob I. &. Stephens Failed
When Help Arrived

Lawrence L. Stephens, driver of
q Doming Cody service car, was the
victim Of a murderOus assault last
Saturday night by soldier, who at
tackled him with a hammer, presum-
ably with robbery as o motive, though
tha criminal was frustrated in any
such possible design by the quick
coming Of help in response to the IN
iured mans outcry.
According to Stevens account OF
the affair, he picked up four sol
diers in the business section and took
them out to the camp, dropping two
in the artillery section, the other two
directing him to the engineers see-
tion. Arriving there, however, one
Of his fares announced that he would
come back to town with him, direct
ing him to drive out to the 900 block
on South Copper. AS the car reach
ed that block Stevens slowed down
and as he did so, the soldier struck
him on the head with a hammer, the
blow fortunately glancing SO that he
did not receive its full force. liz
immediately raised a call for help
whereupon his ass0ilant fled. leav'
ing the hammer in the car, II. X
LLOYD, who lives nearby, heard The
call and rushed out. He saw the
car coasting slowly along and tn,
soldier vanishing in the gloom. Al
the car stopped he found Stevens "
ing in q semi unconscious condi
fion. He immediately called a doe
Tor, who examined Stevens mjor.
and pronounced it only a seal
wound. Stevens was able to driv
to his quarters unaided. The sol
dier who made the attack had no
been apprehended at last reports.
This was the second attack Of th
ldnd on Stevens since the camp wa
instituted. The first was about fou
months ago, and was frustrated i
much the same manner as this on,
the criminal taking to flight befor
he had time TO rob the iitney man.
