Washtenaw Gets It

The Adriau Press teUs this o're true tale oí woe : "Washtenaw is getting it 'in t-he neck.' in a suit recently brought in that county by a Jackson man against the Michigan Central road. The pla.uti.I is Mr. Wfcalin, engineer of tlie train that run into the World's Fair passenger train at Jackson last year. He couW bring the euit in any county where the Central has lts tracks, and thinking it would cost a pretty sum, to any county ior the trial, he slips down ■tjo Ann Arbor and begins suit. The Washtenaw people kick like Alabama mule.s. but it"8 no use Jackson people smüe to think o! the $1,000 bill kindly saved to it. The only way to get even is for thé jury to deduct $1,000 trom whftt they fiud due to Wlialin, and make his damagea that much less, providing or eourse they find he lias any claim 'or dam ages. He relies on a detective brake. If it was defective he sliould have known it at Ypsiianti. Ann Arbar, Grass Lalce, Ohelsea. Leoui and otlier places along the road." And that is noit a!l that Jackson is guflty of. "When the poor commiBsioner finds a wanderer on the face of the earth without money or ambitio,n, located in that town, lie nhips said destituie jumble of humanity to Ann Arbor p. d. q. Xot understanding, periiaps, that nothing aüve can be kept in the plckling vat.
