PETERSON JAILED AGAIN
CHARGED WITH ASSAULT
TAXI DRIVER CHARGED WITH
BEATING UP OLD MAN OLD
ENOUGH TO BE FATHER
(Anchorage Times.)
Clarence Peterson, driver of the
Paige Taxi in Anchorage was arrest
ed Friday night by Deputy Marshal
Harry I. Staser, charged with as
sault upon Dad Rogers , an oldtim
er of 70 years of age. Peterson was
arrested upon a warrant sworn to
by Dad Rogers. Peterson, a husky
young man of 30 years, is said to
have set-iyoon the older man, in a ca
bin near Eighth and C streets about
8:30 the night of August 14.
Rogers was severely cut about the
mouth as a result of Peterson’s
blows and immediately swore out a
Warrant for his arrest. Peterson
could not be founTI by the officers un
til late Friday night when he was ap
prehended and brought to the federal
jail. Peterson argued strenuously
with the officers at the jail and in
the ensuing melee, Deputy Marshal
Staser received a broken right hand.
It is reported that this is not the
first time that Peterson has assaulted
people unable to withstand his at
tack. According to reports Peterson
set upon Chas. Wagner, crippled ex
service man and driver for the Owl
Taxi ,about two weeks ago and
knocked him down and kicked him.
Wagner was unable to defend him
self properly as he is crippled from a
sawmill accident of over a year ago,
in which he lost his leg. Wagner is
at present wearing an artificial leg.
Peterson was also out on bonds
from an appeal from the city magis
trate Fred Spach, in which case he
had been given the limit for reckless
and careless driving. This arrest fol
lowed a complaint by Fred Parsons.
Another case for reckless driving
against Peterson was dismissed
pending the outcome of the first
charge.
