How Many People in a Neighboring Town Were Injured.

Tecumseh, which is soon to be connected with Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor by electric cars, has quite a record for casualties this week. Monday evening Winifred James, the six year old daughter of A. W. James, of Detroit, fell from a ladder and broke her thigh. On the same day Wm. Ide, an old man who has driven the Street sprinkling wagon a number of years, fell from the top of the tank, resulting in the breaking of his collar bone, dislocating of the shoulder blade and internal injuries; recovery doubtful. Tuesday evening Mrs. Albert Anderson, wife of an old retired merchant of this place, fell from a hammock and received serious internal injuries. Mrs. Anderson is 82 years of age. Henry Munger fell from a ladder and broke his arm. John Keeney was nearly drowned while in swimming, but by the prompt exertions of two of his companions was saved.
