"The average election is tame com
pared to the True Northerner's Voting
Contest" said an old politician to day.
He has been taking a close interest in the
competition, and as candidate after can
didate comes rapidly to the front, he de-
clares it is impossible for him to tell
the results OF the race.
Not long ago / should have been
willing to wager that Paw Paw would
furnish the wirner. Now / wouldn't
bet on any one" he continued, "Why to-
morrow someone who has apparently

Another Step in Culver Case. De-
fense Has Filed Bill and Asked
for an Injunction.

1t would seem that the end was not
yet reached in the famous Culver case.
Attorneys for defendant have filed bill
10 chancery, asking for an injunction
restraining the collection of the judg-
ment in this case on the ground of fraud
and perjury. Judge Chester did not
grant the injunction as prayed for in the
bill, bat preferred to leave the matter to
Judge Des Volgnes, who is fully advised
in the premises. Practically the same
questions have been before the court
before, and it is doubtful if the injunc-
tion will be granted.

BAD WRECK ON
K. |. s. AND c.
Freight Struck Passenger Train
at Paw Paw Station
Monday Night.
TWO MEN SERIOUSLY INJURED
Engines and Cars Derailed and Badly
Demolished. Slippery Rails
Claimed as Cause.

What might have been serious acci-
dent occurred on the K l.. S. & g. Ry.
at the Paw Paw station last Monday
night.
The west bound passenger train due
here at 6:l0 p. IN. was in and the Paw
Paw passengers unloaded when an east
bound freight crashed into the engine,
showing the passenger train at least %
feet up the track and derailing the en-
CINE and one car Both engines and
two cars were badly demolished. A.
Russell, travelling salesman from Kala-
mazoo, was standing on the platform of
the passenger coach when the collision
occurred and was seriously bruised, al
though no bones were broken. He was
taken to the Dyckman house and
physician called Tuesday morning he
was taken to the Bronson hospital at
Kalamazoo
Lewis Soule brakeman on the freight
was also badly hurt. Ie was on the
rear car, and the shock threw him to the
ground dislocating collar bone, aud
otherwise bruising him. The injury is a
painful one although 20 serious results
are anticipated
The accident is to be regretted for
several reasons The company have been
putting forth every effort to get their
crippled engines in condition, and this
again gives them a set back. The cause
of the accident is not definitely known.
1t Is claimed by employees of the road,
that the slippery condition of the rails
caused the wheels to sip and the engin-
eer could not stop the train as usual.
