THE GASOLINE WAS WASTED

Monday afternoon a tank car of gasoline was received in the city by the Ann Arbor railroad consigned to Dean & Co., and was placed on a sidetrack near First and William streets with the expectation that this morning the firm would connect their pipe line and pump the gasoline into their storage tank. Monday night, however, the car with two others-one of which was the railroad company's spile driver-took a run off the sidetrack and on to the main line as far as Washington street, where all three bumped into the gravel train. In some way the gasoline tank was punctured by a projection on the spile-driver and upwards of $500 worth of the gasoline ran out and was wasted.

No other damage resulted excepting the delaying of the south bound passenger train about an hour.
