M. C. R. R. APPEALS IN BOUTELL CASE

The Michigan Central railroad, through its attorneys, Lawrence & Butterfield, has filed an appeal to the Supreme Court from the decision of the circuit court in the case of Hiram Boutell, of Ypsilanti, who sued the road for $5,000 damages and got a judgment of $1,000 in the circuit court last March.

Boutell is the man who claimed to have been knocked down by a Michigan Central train at Cross and River streets in Ypsilanti in March, 1901, from which he alleged he received an injured spin and was otherwise hurt about the body.
