agreed in Justice Friegel's court after
an hours elaboration and were dis
charged Wednesday afternoon and the
case will be dropped. The Stringhams
and Goldens are neighbors on parts of
the Bunker farm west of Owosso, and
the formers cattle got into the latter's
fields and were locked up, resulting in
a row with each side telling directly
opposite story and with considerable
doubt as to others telling the truth.
Further trouble because of the burn

is hoped they will be compelled to pay
the costs of their own quarreling in the
future.

Fellow Servant Liability Act viii be
Repealed Sent. 2.

Act No. 104 of the recent Michigan
legislature takes effect September 2.
By this new enactment the fellow SER
want liability law is repealed as far as
railroads and common carriers are con-
cerned. All common carriers are made
responsible for the acts of their officers,
agents or employees.
This means the railroad will have to
treat their injured employees far more
generously than in years past, when
nearly every damage case brought
against the corporation by the widow
of the victim of railroad accident or
by the victim himself if he was lucky
enough to survive, was appealed to the
supreme court on the fellow servant
liability clause, pure technicality.
and there the damages usually award
ed in the circuit court were by this law

J.W. Collins, of San Francisco, has
been guest of his brother J. 81. Collins,
in Corunna, this week.
Twenty-Five Thousand.

One thousand acres of northern
Michigan land, what has been known
as the Sands farm near Highbridge, in
Manistee county. was sold on Thursday
of last week to Wyoming man,
Duncan M. Gillier. The amount paid
for the land and its buildings was
S25, 900. MIR. GillIer is Wyoming
sheep ranch man, and he transfers his
business from Wyoming to northern
Michigan through his desire to reach
the Chicago market with spring lambs
in advance of the western shippers
But the important part in connection
with this incident is that Wyoming
man, after thorough investigation, de-
sires to, invest $4,000 in northern
Michigan tract of land, for purpose
in which he has had long and successful
experience.
