Defendant Driving Recklessly
And Without Lights.
---------
Charges of driving without lights
burning on an automobile and of fast and reckless driving are made by William
D. Alexander in a complaint against Chester Lenfesty,
that has been filed in the Shelby Circuit court. The complaint for damages
of $650 was prepared by Henry and McLane, attorneys.
The case is the outgrowth
of an accident that occurred Nov. 1, 1924 on the east Michigan road near the
city limits. Mr. Alexander states in the complaint that he was driving a
horse hitched to a wagon, to which another wagon was fastened as a
trailer. He charges that the defendant in an automobile drove up behind
him and ran into the second wagon, badly damaging both wagons and knocking him
to the ground. He was dragged y the horse for a considerable
distance. Mr. Alexander alleges, and suffered injuries that made his leg
useless for a time and caused other ailments.
Mr. Alexander charges
that the accident occurred at 6 o'clock in the evening and that the defendant
did not have the lights burining on his car. It is also charged that Mr.
Lenfesty was driving 30 miles an hour and in a reckless manner.

HORSE CASE IS
FINALLY SETTLED
----------
Alexander Pleaded Not uilty But
He Allowed the Court to Find Him
Guilty -- Fine and Costs $14.50.
----------
Jacob Alexander,
who was arrested a few days ago on the charge of selling a horse to Monroe
Goodrich, which was afflicted was before Squire James Webb
this morning. He entered a plea of not guilty, but permitted the court to
find him guilty of the charge and he paid a fine and costs to the amount of
$14.50.
The trade was made
several months ago, Goodrich discovering afterwards, that the horse had an
affliction, of which he was not told at the time. Goodrich paid $100 to
Alexander for the horse and he has since sold it for the same amount.
The case has been in
court before and, it is rumored that it is a case of personal feeling
between Prosecutor Hack and Alexander, it being understood
that Alexander, although a Democrat, is not a Hack man.
