His Case Is Like Litchard's

HIS CASE IS LIKE LITCHARD'S

The Man Picked Up at Geddes Insane

FROM BLOW ON HEAD

He Had Disappeared With $100 Owosso Typographical Union's Money

H. A. Courtenay, of Owosso, who was struck on the head by a train at Geddes and taken to the University hospital, developed insanity and was sent to the asylum at Pontiac. He did not wander away as stated in a Detroit paper, but was committed by Judge Watkins. His case was a good deal like that of Litchard's. 

Courtenay was treasurer of the Typographical union at Owosso. He went on a whisky and morphine debauch and finally disappeared with $100 of the union's money. He went to Jackson, patronized the saloons liberally, tried to beat his way to Detroit on freight train and fell from the train at Geddes. 

Courtenay was formerly head proof reader on the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. He struck Owosso last August as a tramp printer. He joined the union at Owosso only a week before the strike commenced and a week later, on the resignation of the secretary-treasurer, who had secured work in Ann Arbor, he was elected to this place.
