2451 - L Mar. 28:4/3 - A German living on Detroit st. joined the army, then
deserted. The captain of his company took a squad of soldiers and went
to his house, but found nothing. When they were about to leave, the cap-
tain thought he heard a noise in a bed and ordered the bed riddled with
bayonets. A butcher crawled out from under the mattress and fled from the
house. The German has not yet been found. (9)
