DR.. J. c. Hupp went out to attend the
injured man. He found his limbs, hips,
sides and back badly burned. The gag
which was used consisted OF a long strip
Of muslin with a large knot tied in it,
This vas soaked in the hot and greasy
mixture in the kettle and forced as far
down the suffering mans throat as pos.

DR.. Hupp pronounces Mr.. Markings
condition critical, aud says he may die.
Marlingtoldhim that he repeatedly begged
the robbers to cease torturing him, but
they refused to believe that they had
found all his money, and continued the
devilish work. They also tore up the floor,
ripped up carpets, ransackcd cupboards
and chests, and looked in every possible
crevice where money could be concealed,
AIarIing said had all his money, very
large sum, been in the house, he would
gladly have given it to the thieves to in

to kill him il he did not divulge the hid

GONE TO HIS FINAL REST.

On Monday morning, December the 18th,
Ezra L. Mason joined the majority. aged
about seventy-one years. He had been
since 1886 identified with the growth and
development of this portion Of the county
of Shiawassee-had shared without
murmur the TRIALS of the early pioneer,
and enjoyed the pleasure that comes to
the true man when he sees as the result of
well directed effort the desert made to
blossom rs the rose and civilization, with
all its attendant blessings, spring up where
before was q boundless waste. During
his long and successful career Mr.. Mason
ever enjoyed the unbounded confidence
and esteem of his fellow citizens. He was
for years the county surveyor of this
county, and for eight years was Supervisor
of the township of Owosso, besides hold.

In 1885 he married Miss Harriet Whrrl

La w.

The trial of the case of Augusta MerkIe
as Administrative Of the estate of George
Aerkle deceased VS.. the township of BEN
nington. in the Circuit Court at Corunna.
was concluded on Wednesday last. having
occupied four days. The case is import.
ant. in its relations to, and effect on. the
Liability OF townships under the law of
1879. giving right of action for injury re.
eeived by reason of defective highways or
bridges.
The plaintiff claimed that when her bu,.
band was driving aero the bridge over
the Maple river. in Bennington. July 5th
1881, on his return from Owosss. the feet
OF one OF his horses became entangled in a
loose plank ofthe bridge which so frightened
the team that they ran away. threw him
out or bis wagon, and injured him so that
he died In about four weeks.
The main questions In the case seemed
&c DC whether there was any defect in the
bridge as claimed; were the highway
0i1cers negligent about making repairs /;
and If so, was the deceased excusablc for
driving on the bridge in that condition
1t appeared that the Overseer of High
ways Of the road district in which the
bridge is located. crossed it the morning
of the accident and considered it safe, and
that Msrkle crossed 1t the same morning
on his way to Owosso. and noticed the al.
legged defect. Some very close and intri-
cate legal questions are involved in the
case, which ought to be permanently settled
