Albert Anthon ot Salt Lake City,
Utah, lost the third finger on his
left hand Saturday night when a
passing car sideswiped bis Stude-
baker sedan while it was parked
along the highway one-fourth of a
mile east of town.
Mr. arid Mrs. Anthon were enroute
Portland and had stopped to change
drivers. Mr. Anthon had just placed
his hand on the door preparing to
open it when the car, driven by Gm
Byers, manager of the Texaco Oil
Co. plant in Pendleton, accompanied
by Elmer Pahl, also of that city,
collided with the Studebaker. The
other car did not stop.
The fender and front door on the
Studebaker were stripped off and the
two side wheels demolished. An in­
stant later and Mr. Anthon would
have stepped from the car and been
killed instantly. It was necessary to
amputate the shattered finger above
the second joint.
B. J. Nation was notified and im­
mediately went to Umatilla where he
found the hit-run driver and his car
piled In the ditch near the diversion
dam. The driver of the car is liabel
on three charges, hit-run driver,
driving while intoxicated, and per­
manent injury caused by careless­
ness.
