  SMASH UP ON THE ANN ARBOR

 

ABOUT THREE OR FOUR MILES SOUTH OF HERE

 

Several Cars were Jammed Up and Tipped Over Last Evenng

 

There was a bad smash up on the Ann Arbor road, between this city and Pittsfield Junction Thursday and the tracks were not cleared until 2 o'clock this morning.

 

A hose leading to the air brakes on the cars at the front end of the train burst. This let the air in and stopped the first few cars within a few feet. The rear end of the train came on with all its impetus and the result was that flve or six cars were jammed up and tipped over. Considerable damage was done.
