that Mr.. Luce was not sound on the

port Huron Daily Times


When the +. & p. NJ. R'y Company
bought the Port Huron and Northwest
ern Railway Company's lines, what
was known as the Saginaw division
commenced ut Saginaw Junction, now
Zion and extended to Saginaw. Short
ly after taking possession of the lines
the +. 4 i. Nj. company concluded TO
build new line from Yale, crossing
the townships of Kenockee and Kim
ball, and entering this city from the
west, rather than from the north, thus
saving the expense of maintaining the
large bridge across Black river, west of
Zion.
A short time after this WAS completed
il was found that the company intend
ed abandoning the track between Yale
and Zion, and II temporary injunction
was obtained by some of those who had
contributed toward the bonus, which
was given The company when the line
was first built. Then the +. d L. NJ.
Ry company started suit in the cir
cult court in this county "to abandon
and take up the track between the
stations of Yale and Zion, and aban-
don the intermediate stations called
Fargo and Hartsuff."
The case was tried in the circuit
court, then taken to the Supreme
court, where it was remanded to the
circuit court for determination of the
damages due those who paid bonus
for the construction of this particular
part of the road. Thursday afternoon
Judge Eldridge handed down his deci-
sion in the case.
lie finds "that those claimants resid-
ing or owning lands along the line of
the railroad proposed to be abandoned,
and at distance of three miles or
more from Yale or Zion stations, who
contributed to the construction of the
railroad through the township of
Greenwood, are entitled to have their
contributions refunded to them by the
railroad company" Also that "those
who contributed in labor, material or
cash to the construction of the station
houses, at either Fargo or HaTtsuff, are
also entitled to have their contributions
refunded" Judge Eldredge further
finds "that interest at q per cent upon
the amount of said contributions, from
the time of payment of the sums paid,
must be added to the sums paid, or the
value of other contributions"
Attached TO, and made part of the
decree, is determination of the dam
ages which must now be paid by the
company as follows:
