Chops Off Four Fingers
to Evade Army Service

Lewistown, Pa, July 26.-Capture
of Don Strausser, aged "a years, a
self-mutilated deserter from Camp
Meade, Md, was made by Sheriff NJ
A. Davis, of Lewistown, assisted by
Railroad Officer Jacob Dockey, on
Wednesday night. The man was
found barricaded in a farmhouse
near Newton Hamilton, after sew
eral months hiding in the wooded
regions. Strausser became tired of
this life and took up work on the
farm of Mrs. Rhoda Hassenplug. a
widow.
The Sheriff was notified and he
and officer Dockey called as motor
lists hunting for water. When they
told who they were and said they
would search the house. the widow
slammed the door in their faces and
called on her son, Samuel, who tried
to bar the way of the sheriff. The
sheriff ran upstairs and found that
Strausser had got to a porch roof.
A gun pointed to the man caused
him to surrender. Four guns were
found in the house. Strausser was
taken to the Jail where he is held
under guard. He says he had been
employed on the Hassenplug farm
the past five days and that he had
no intention of evading military
duty.
Strausser was sent to Camp Meade
with a draft detail from Mifflin coun-
ty. The next heard of him was that
he was in the camp hospital with
four fingers of his left hand chopped
off. The Army surgeons say he used
the AK eight times before the fingers
were severed. He had been detailed
to chop wood. He got away from the
Army hospital and was later heard
of in the wilds of Wayne township,
this county.

Corporations Will Test Valid
ity of Carlisle Ordinances
on Gasoline Storage

Carlisle, Pa, July 26.-The bor-
ough of Carlisle and two big cor
porations are in a dispute relative
to the validity of an ordinance of
the town prohibiting the storing of
gasoline in quantities in a certain
area and test in the courts is pre-
dicted. Notice has been served on
local representatives of the Inde-
pendent Oil Company and Atlantic
Refining Company to appear before
Burgess Newsham and answer
charges made against them as the
result of action to this end taken by
the borough council.
Both concerns have large oil and
gasoline storage tanks in the bor-
ough limits. An ordinance passed
early in 1917 prohibits the storing
of gasoline in a central area or near
dwellings. The Independent tanks
were placed here last fall, although
the Atlantic containers have been in
use for number of years.
