Charles Bristol of Fowlerville Sues His Employers for $5,000.

HOWELL, March 29.--A sensational damage suit was commenced Tuesday against A.W. Knapp and F.D. Parker, partners in a general store at Fowlerville. For some time they have been missing money from their store and thinking that their head clerk was living faster and in better style than his salary would admit. They confronted the clerk, Charles Bristol, with having taken it. It is alleged he admitted it and turned over about $1,000 in cash and a stock of goods at Williamston, they promising not to prosecute him. Bristol now sues them for $5,000 damages and claims he was bulldozed into paying the money by the two partners with their attorney, keeping him in the store after everybody else had closed up and scaring him until he could do nothing, that he expected to be married soon and rather than have them have hanging over him he owned up.
