Ashley, Jr., commenced work on the crossing
Of the Toledo, Ann Arbor 81 Northern NJ Chi
gan railway under the Detroit, Lansing II
Nor thrrn ailway, about two miles east OF
Howell on the night of the Bird. Ashley's men
tore up the track of the Detroit, Lansing "

the track and effectually stopped all travel on
that road
About midnight $50 section men of the De
trOit Lansing Il Northern railroad went To-
the scene of action 10 stop the work, but with
drew when they saw that Ashley had 200
armed men from Toledo TO protect him. The
bridge was nearly completed and travel
was resumed on Monday and trains run over
the road, when n gravel train on the Detroit
Lansing " Northern of 10 cars and 100 men
ran down and began filling up the culvert and
crossing with stones and dirt. Ashley imme-
diatcly rallied all his forces and they again re-
paired TO the scene of action. They outnum-
bered the ID. l.. d y. men and drove them off
the bridge, tore up several sections of the ID.

and dirt.
Both fractions were well armed and for a

United States mail.
Gov. Alger was telegraphed for assistance
TO protect The ID. L. q n. property, but declin-
ed TO act as he had no authority to call out the
the sheriff or some other county officer.
The trouble grows out of the desire of the
Toledo, Ann Arbor d Northern road to cross
its rivals tracks, and a dispute as to how the
work shall be done. The pont where the
roads meet Is portion of the Detroit Ian
sing u Northern road known as summit. !"
The road bed of the Detroit Lansing IL North
crn road is above the level of the Toledo,
Ann Arbor d Northern Road. The
expenses OF making cut under
the Detroit, lansing ~ Northern line would
be considerable, and General Manager Null

scale that the Toledo, Ann Arbor II Northern
company thought was too expensive. The
Detroit, Lansing & Northern representatives
claim that the suggestions of Mr.. Muliken OF
how the work should be done have been APP
proved by the state railroad commissioner.
