The D. Y. & A. A. Railroad Co. in Justice Court.

THREE NEW SUITS TODAY

They Killed a Calf, a Horse and Hurt a Man.

And Are Asked to Pay $100 Damages in Esch Case. Their Attorney Might Open an Office in Ann Arbor.

Cavanaugh & Wedemeyer Wednesday commenced three new suits against the Detroit, Ypsilanti & Ann Arbor railway in Justice Duffy's court the damages in each case being fixed at $100.

Alfred H. Holmes, the livery man, sues for the value of a horse which was badly injured while being driven by a student and an Ann Arbor young lady on Packard st. near Dr. Kapp's residence sometime in the spring. They had just turned the corner when the car came upon them so suddenly that they were unable to allow proper room for it to pass. The horse turned its head towards the car and was struck on the head and knocked down. The return day on this case is set for May 3.

Ulysses G. Darling had a calf killed by the cars last fall and sues for its value, the case being set for May 4. It is charged that the car was running at a high rate of speed without any headlight. Presumably an attempt will be made to show that the calf stopped and listened and that owing to the absence of a headlight it was unable to see the rapidly approaching car.

Chas. Brant sues for injuries to his shoulder. He was riding with Samuel Dett on Detroit st. while Dett was driving and leading a horse. The led horse was struck by a car and killed. It fell against the buggy and its head struck Brant's shoulder. The injuries for which he claims damages are to his neck and shoulders.
