Fischer Was Not Out Of The City

DID NOT THINK IT WAS NECESSARY TO GO TO CAMP

When Informed That His Presence At Manistee Was Compulsory He Left 

For There Immediately

The reported desertion of Lewis Fischer from Company L, when it was about to start for camp Monday, was somewhat exaggerated. Mr. Fischer. who has been working for Alderman Johnson did not leave the city. He concluded at the last moment that he would not go to camp this year, and says that he did not think that he could have been urged to do so. That evening he was at the council chamber when he was notified that there were orders issued to the sheriff to place him under arrest. He immediately went to the sheriff's office and explained that he did not think it was compulsory for him to join his company at Manistee. Being informed otherwise he took the first train from the city Monday evening for Manistee.
