600 was begun in the circuit court
Thursday morning by James Flani-
gan of Owosso, through his attorney,
Seth Q. Pulver, against NJ. A. Herrick

of injury sustained by Mr.. Flanagan
a few weeks ago when his wagon was
struck by Herrick's automobile.
Mr.. Flanagan was driving north on
Washington street and had just left
the pavement at the corner of Oliver
street. He met VIM. Donigan, driv-
ing south and turned out for him.
Herrick was coming from the south
and attempted to drive between the
two rigs. The machine struck Elan
igan's rig, frightening the horse and
throwing Flanagan out The liga-
ments in his shoulder were torn and
he was injured internally, he claims.
Flanagan alleges that Herrick was
driving carelessly and that he failed
to sound his horn in warning of his
approach.
Herrick, at the time OF the acct
dent, declared that he supposed Flan-
igan was turning out to allow him to
drive by, and that he didn't see Don
igan's rig coming.
