turn of the division to Owosso on Sun
day next, announces an improvement in
the train service which will be greatly
appreciated by the people of the city.

of the Ann Arbor is to be commended
for making this improvement in the
service. which certainly should be ap-

Abe survey of the site Of the land
purchased for the post office building
was forwarded to the supervising archi-
tect of the treasury department at
Washington on Tuesday. The plat
showed the location of gas and water
MAINS sewers, sidewalks, levels, etc.
Four photographs of the site were also
sent. The architect is ready to begin
work on the plans and will probably
have them ready to submit for bids at
an early date. However, Congressman
Fordney will introduce bill in the
House next week asking for a further
appropriation of sos, 600 and this may
delay work some on the plans. Mr.
Fordney has already received some as
surances from members of the commit
tee on public buildings that the bill
would be given favorable consideration.
If the appropriation is secured it will
make possible the purchase of the lot
adjoining the site, on the west of G. R,

cluded to prevont the erection of a

ANN ARsoR DIVISION GOES TO
oWossO.
"The Division Of the Ann Arbor Rail
road, Now Located at Durand,
viii Be Transferred to Owos-
so, Tskine Effect Sunday,
Doc. 4."-Supt w. r.
Bradley.


From the Durand Express.
The story practically is told in the
above. The expected has happened,
and there is a general sigh of relief.
This applies to Durand at large, the
officials and employees of the Ann Ar
Dor railroad, and last, but not least, our
sister city, Owosso. For the past four
or five years the rumor has been circu-
lated that this change would be made.
Back of these smokes" there was some
''fre, " but the certainty was in doubt.
The result of these outbreaks was
that business in Durand was impeded.
The uncertainty affected all alike.
There appeared to be no plausible
theory advanced that the division would
remain here, and the result has been
that we have been compelled to really
wish that the change would be made.
1t is believed by the business men of Du.
rand that the action now taken will aid
the future welfare of the town. The
fact of having the matter settled and
something to depend on will place the
town on solid basis.
We might say that the Ann Arbor
division was loan to Durand. 1t was
a good one, too. When it was removed
here in 1895 from Owosso, Durand was
only small town. The growth has
been phenomenal, The division started
it, but it can be truthfully stated that il
has been only small part of the
growth. Other industries have located
Lere, and the town made a good bust
ness point
The Grand Trunk railroad has been
grand thing for Durand. Today its in
terests here eclipse the Ann Arbor. TIL,
statement is made by prominent Trunl
officials that an enormous appropriation
has been made for improvements here
Owosso will gain upon receiving tn,
division again. The car shops of tn,
Ann Arbor are located there and the
combined interests of the company Their
will give the town prosperity. Thj
change will end the quarrel between
the two -cities over this qrestion an(
each will go onward with her interests
The change will take seventy fv
families from Durand together wit
about hundred single men. The pa,
roll runs between seven and eight thou
sand dollars a month. For the presen
the dispatching will be done from thi
point. which will be a nice plum fo
Durand while it remains here.
1t is said that the company will no
demand the removal of the men thi
winter and if they so desire they can re
side here and be allowed transportatiol
between the two cities Removals O
families will be made, however, as fas
as houses can be secured in Owosso.
The company will retain some inter
ests here, necessitated by the importan
railroad point this is.
1t will be sad to part with some O
the good people employed by the com
pany 1t might be stated further tina
the change is received with sorrow b,
these people.

Phil. Shepard, of this city, received a

POSSESSORY WARRANT
STOPS A WEDDING.

Brunswick, Ga, Jan IA possess
sorry warrant is the latest document to
stop a wedding of an anxious young
couple by a very 'irate pair of parents.
This was the unique remedy resorted
to by lawyers, judges and court officers
of this city to-day, and, as a result,
two yearning hearts are now very far
apart, who without hindrance, would
have ere this been united in the silken
cords of wedlock.
John Green. a we'll known young
Brunswick man. formerly a member
of the fire department. appeared before
Ordinary Horace Dart this morning,
and applied for a marriage license.
Young Green gave the age of his in
tended as 20 years, and, thinking the
young man was telling the truth, Judge
Dart issued the license.
Less than ten minutes later Ordinary
Dart received a note from the parents
of the girl, telling him not to issue the
license, as the girl was only 10 years
of age. Judge Dart informed the par
ents that Green had been before him,
and sworn that the bride-to-he was 20
years of age whereupon he granted
the license.
The father of the girl was puzzled
as to a remedy to stop the wedding.
and Immediately employed Attorney r.
z. Dart, who could think of but one
remedy-get out a possessory warrant
for the license. He quickly went be-
fore Justice of the Peace Lambright,
had the warrant issued, and in a few
minutes the constable returned with
the license, but young Green did not
at all like the idea of giving it up.
