Mrs. j. F. Wildermuth of this city,
Misses Villa and Helen Hoffman and
Mrs. Benton of Fenton, while return.
ing from the cemetery, was run into
by the motor car on the Ann Arbor
Railroad and the hack smashed to
pieces, but the occupants escaped with
bruises despite the fact that they were
in the hack with the motor car over it
after the hack wheels were smashed.
Mrs. Wildermuth has since suffered
severe pain and it is now feared she
may have received internal injuries.
Mr.. Wildermuth suffered from the
shock and is still carrying his arm in a
sling.
No one seems to be at fault for the
accident as the fagman was ON duty
and waved to the driver to stop. but
his view being obstructed somewhat
and the fact that his team required
his attention and the big interurban
car having just pulled across the Ann
Arbor made 1t appear to him that all
was clear and the presence of the
fagman made the engineer feel that
all was clear for him.

TO such an extent that said corpora
tion has lost and been injured to the
extent of at least $4,000, and that
said directors should be held, on ac-
count of such gross neglect and mis-
management, personally and indi-
vidually responsible for the amounts
of money so lost and wasted to the
corporation.
Your orator further shows to the
court that such wrongs committed
by said officers consisted of making
and publishing false reports and re-
presentations of the standing Of the
corporation, in not filing it's annual
report for the year Of 1913 at all, in
declaring dividends when said corpor.
alton was ilsolvent, and unable to
pay debts, and failing to report to the
stockholders the true and just con-
dition of said corporation at it's an
nual and special meetings"
The present trouble of the comrany
is a source Of much surprise to nearly
everyone. Rumors have been in cir
cuiatiol for the past two or three
weeks, however, that the company
was not solvent and some time stores
in Corunna have refused to cash the
checks of the company when pre-
sented by employees, and many Of the
men have not received their wages. A
rumor to the effect that the company
owes the Old Corunna State bank, is
untrue, however. The bank officials
stated Wednesday that the company
does not owe that institution a penny,
No answer to the charge made in
the petition could be secured Wednes-
day. Mr.. Fox and Edward Mason are
in Arcadia, and the latter will not re-
turn until Wednesday night George
ID. Mason is seriously i'll at his home
and can't be seen.
The company has been operating
two large plants here, and employed
about $50 men. Only recently the
company started third plant at Ovid
and not many months ago increased
it's capitalization by $4,000. The
company was Corunna's principal in
dustry and if the plants remain clos
ed, it will prove a hard bow to the
city. The plants were closed down
Saturday night.

Among Recruits of Today

l think there Is no doubt that we are
getting a different type of man In
the service today from what we got
years ago; he may be just as good
and he may have more brains, but
he does not seem to have as much
Drawn.
Whether the present-day recruit
would last as well under the old con-
ditions of hard frontier service with
sanitary conditions far inferior to
those of the present time is hard
to say.
THE high percentage of strong men
In 1876 to 1879 may be due to the
fact that the recruiting, at least in
this part of the country, was not
very active then and the army could
pick its men, accepting only the hard
lest and best. Finally, believe fur
ther investigation along the lines sug-
gested in this paper In other parts
of the country might tell US whether
our standard Is really deteriorating or
not"
