Cas Involving Only That Amount.

AGAINST THE D. Y. & A. A.

Plaintiff Took Advantage of 

Local Rat ad of 

Through Fares.

The case of Thomas Kissane vs. the D. Y.& A. A. has been affirmed in the supreme court and the plaintiff can collect a judgement for 12 cents with costs not exceeding $25. Kissane boarded a car in Canton township for Detroit. He tendered the conductor 10 cents fare to Inkster, the conductor demanded 15 cents and thereat 5 cents was paid under protest. At Inkster he tendered a ticket to Detroit, which the conductor refused to accept and under protest collected 20 cents to Detroit, which was 7 cents more than the ticket cost. The regular fare from the point where the plaintiff got on the car to Detroit was 35 cents. By working his little scheme he expected to go to Detroit at a cost of 23 cents, and the supreme court has just said that he may.
