ARE SUED FOR $33,000

D., Y., A. A. & J. Railroad is the Defendant

CITY A COMPLAINANT

Asks for $3,000 Said to be Due Because of Work Done for the Company

Suits for alleged debt and damages aggregating $33,000 were begun against the D., Y., A. A. & J. railroad Saturday by A. J. Sawyer & Son, attorneys for the complainants.

The first suit, is that of the City of Ann Arbor for $3,000 alleged to be due for work done on the defendant's road and which the latter have not paid. This work consisted of laying crosswalks, graveling between the tracks of the company's road and for pavement put down by city and which it is said that the company agreed to pay for.

The next suit is that of Mrs. Phila Harirson, of Chelsea, who asks for $20,000 damages because of the death of her husband some time ago, which was brought about through him coming in contact with a live electric wire while working on one of the company's cars, he being in the employ of the road as motorman.

Gabriel Bockress, of Sylvan township, asks for $10,000 damages which he states accrued to him because of being seriously injured through a heavy rail falling upon him while at work on the company's road near Sylvan. He alleges that the injury came about by reason of the company not affording him sufficient assistance in carrying the rail which he says fell upon him.
