PAID $51 TO SETTLE
A Detroit Alderman Said to Have Been One of the Hunters
Five Detroit hunters, one of whom is said to be an alderman of that city, paid %51 into Justice Cook's court in Dexter Tuesday night, as the result of a hunting trip. They were on Chamberlain's land, near Dexter, hunting despite the signs against trespassers. The owner ordered them off, but they refused to go and he undertook to put them off. A mix-up ensued, one of the Chamberlain boys throwing a stone which hit one of the hunters' dogs. The hunters drove the Chamberlains into the house by pointing their guns at them. A warrant was obtained for the hunters before Justice M S. Cook, but the party had taken the car for Detroit. The officers here were notified and they were taken from the car at the waiting room about 6 o'clock. Deputy Sheriff Stebbins, of Dexter, took them to Dexter and at about 11 o'clock Tuesday night they settled for $51. They discovered that farmers had some rights which even Detroit aldermen are bound to observe.
