Teachers For Next Year

LONG HAIRED MIKE.

His Disgusting Trial In Progress in the Circuit Court.

THROWN FROM A BRIDGE ON THE CENTRAL.

A Junior Law Student Drowned.--The Teachers for Next Year Selected.--A Brief but Vigorous Railroad War.

Thrown From the Track.
John Lutz, of Freedom, was thrown from the bridge of the Michigan Central near the pulp mill, Wednesday afternoon, by a Central passenger train, and seriously injured. He was over sixty years old and had gone fishing. His shoulder and collar bone were broken. He was taken at once to the University hospital, where is now being treated.

Drowned in the Huron.
Another drowning in the Huron river has been added to the already very long list. On Friday last about six o'clock, Lee Tucker, a junior law student, while bathing in the river above the ice houses, got beyond his depth and as he could not swim, sank to the bottom. His companions in the river were not looking towards him at the time and it was a few minutes before he was missed. Search was made for the body and physicians worked over the body for some time but were unable to resuscitate him. He was nineteen years old, graduated from the high school here last year and was from Mentone, Ind. His mother is not living. His father and three brothers survive him. He was very popular with his associates.

An Attempt to Bulldoze a Track Across Streets.
The Toledo, Ann Arbor & North Michigan road aroused the indignation of our citizens last Sunday by what looked like a bare-faced attempt to steal part of First street. About nine o'clock Sunday morning a gang of men were put at work to build a sidetrack from Liberty street, across William street, on First street adjoining their land. By midnight the track was down and fifteen or twenty loaded freight cars upon it. The track ran exactly where the Toledo road had been ordered to build a sidewalk, which they had neglected to do.
Mayor Doty was not notified of the matter until Monday morning, when he at once caused the work to be stopped. A rumor was afloat that Ashley was on his way from Toledo with a large gang of men and the fire department was ordered out and a hose attached to drown the first men who started to work. The mayor issued a call for a special meeting of the council at one o'clock and their action is fully set forth in their official proceedings in another column.
The road, in accordance with the notice served by order of the council, have removed their track from the street. But they simply moved it over on their own land, evidently with the intention of crossing William street and it begins to look as if that were the original intention of the road. In fact, it looks as if they considered their method the easiest way of getting the council to consent to their crossing two streets.

Disgusting--Prince Michael on Trial.
The long haired colony of Israelites, of Detroit, who believe in the Flying Roll, moved down on Ann Arbor this week and have attracted considerable attention. It is unnecessary to remark that Ann Arbor will be heartily glad when they shake the dust of Ann Arbor from their feet and return to Detroit, excepting one of their number who, let it be hoped, may sojourn behind the bars at Jackson.
Michael K. Mills, or Prince Michael as he chooses to call himself, has been on trial in the circuit court this week, on a change of venue from Wayne county, charged with the most revolting of crimes against little Bernice Bickle, aged fifteen. Accompanying him is his spiritual wife, the chief of his harm, Eliza Courts.
The prosecution is conducted by prosecuting attorney Springer, while the shrewd, cool and sharp attorney, Col. John Atkinson, appears for the defence, assisted by T. D. Kearney, Esq. The following is the jury: Wm. H. Donahue, Ann Arbor town; Wm. Dewey, Bridgewater; A. D. Jackson, York; Simon Nissly, Saline; J. Breitenbach, Lyndon; J. C. Tuttle, Ypsilanti; J. Ulrich, Freedom; Martin Manz, Sylvan; David Fore, Northfield; Chas. F. Bates, Scio; C. C. Deuress, Ypsilanti; Gilbert Howe, Pittsfield; George Clarken, Ann Arbor.
The details of the case are too revolting for publication, but may be briefly summarized as follows. Mills met the little girl at Sarnia, where he was preaching. He sent for her to play the piano at headquarters. She came to Detroit and the first night slept with May Webster and Mrs. Mills, the next two nights with Ella Rowlinson and the fourth night by directions in Prince Michael's room. He slept there also and talked to her about their peculiar religious belief. The following night Mills, Eliza and the little girl occupied the same bed. She refused his advances. He impressed upon her the virtue of obedience to him. She refused to obey. The party then went to Europe and on their return he accomplished his vile purposes. Little Bernice testified to these facts in detail and was corroborated by May Webster and Ella Rowlinson in most of the essential details. The most skillful cross-examination failed to shake the witnesses. From the testimony of all three it seemed that Michael's "God house" was a regular harem.
The defense attempted to prove that the testimony was a result of a conspiracy against Mills by the police officers and introduced a number of long haired witnesses to testify to Prince Michael's good character. They revealed the fact that they would do whatever he told them and believed he could do no wrong. The testimony closed last evening and the attorneys are closing the case today.
The court room is daily crowded and a few women are drinking in the disgusting details of the testimony. 
Long haired Mike does not seem to be pleased at all by the position in which he is placed. Neither does Eliza Court who keeps by his side. Mrs. Mills, his lawful wife, is absent but Lucifer and his other angels are still firm followers.
