HER TRUNK HELD AT DEPOT HERE

The people who depend on the service of the D., Y., A. A. & J. to get baggage into Detroit are very apt to spend some anxious moments waiting for it.

It would seem that the service might be materially bettered without any unusual exertion on the part of the railroad employees.

Wednesday a young woman who was to leave on the night boat for Cleveland, sent her trunk to the waiting room in Ann Arbor at 8 a.m. and when she arrived in Detroit in the afternoon expected of course to find it there. Instead of this the trunk failed to show up until after 9 o'clock in the evening.

There had been two baggage cars in the meantime and neither of them had been overloaded. There seems to be no plausible excuse for this negligence.

Had it not been for the late hour at which the boat departs from Detroit, the young woman would have had to remain in Detroit, missing the boat to Cleveland wise have gone without her trunk, and what is more miserable than a woman at the end of a journey with nothing at hand with which to make her toilet than a comb, brush and powder box.
