Judge Tucker declined TO sit, because
Of his interest In the matter. The
rase was that of William Buesser. n
Detroit man, who sought to compel
the treasurer OF New Baltimore TO re-
fund one-half the taxes he had paid

his tax without protest, and later com
planned to the council that he had
been assessed just 100 per cent 100

ore-half the amount paid, but the viii
lage treasurer refused TO be bound by
the councils action. Judge Murphy
held that the treasurer was right, the

protest.

supposed it was the freight that comes

More than a score of cars We're piled

There was no official information as to

was stated that the train from Portland

pinned beneath the wreck by both his
arms and legs, was crying to be taken

! deaVored to get him out, but found his

TO relieve Mr.. Colliss. When it was found
that it would be impossible to remove
him from the wreck, and that the fire,
which was now burning very briskly all

nearer upon him, the flames going over
his head, it was found necessary TO

said he did not see as any blame coull
be attached to anyone. 1t appeared 10
him. when he came out of the stable
that there was no headlight on the up
train, and he thought that this probably
prevented those on the down train from

probably thought it was on the switch
