A damage suit for $5,000 was filed Tuesday in the county clerk's office by Murray & Storm, attorneys for Louisa VanOrden against the Michigan Central Ry. The contention of the declaration is in four counts, alleging that on July 7 last, the section hands of the M. C. R. R. cut through the banks along the roadbed of the railway and allowed the water to flow from the river on the land of the plaintiff, thus causing the damage. The question of the sufficiency of the width of bridges is the main point to be settled, as it is due to that that the property of Louisa VanOrden at the intersection of River road and Huron street is alleged to have been damaged.
