Railroad Company Will Not Pay Mrs. Whiting Without a Fight.

Congressman William Alden Smith, of Grand Rapids, Friday filed in the county clerk's office of the plea of general issue in the case of Mary Collins Whiting vs. the Detroit, Grand Rapids & Western R. R. for $20,000 damages and demanded a trial of the case. This is the case it will be remembered where Mrs. Mary Collins Whiting while riding in a caboose from Howard City to Shiloh was thrown out of an arm chair in which she was sitting, and the declaration puts it "with great force backwards into the air and upon the floor of said car and upon the timber, wood, bars of iron, car links, car pins, coupling pins and other dangerous articles then and there situate and being, whereby she then and there received sundry wounds, bruises, contusions, congestions, concussions, lacerations and other temporary and permanent injuries to her limbs, body, head and brain."
