The Auburn Branch


From the Cortland Democrat of Cortland, NY
Thursday, March 14, 1878


   The Norwich Telegraph gives the following report of the settlement of the difficulty between the town of Cuyler and the Midland railroad, out of which grew the numerous indictments which were nol prosed at the last county court :

   "The suit of the town of Cuyler against the Midland Railroad employees, and others, for alleged riot, in forcibly taking from the Collector of the town of Cuyler a car of that road, detained by him for non-payment of taxes, has, we learn, just as we go to press, been settled by that town paying the Midland fifty dollars and withdrawing the suit. Now the boys can again breathe free, and smile with their accustomed freedom. As we understand it, the boot is on the other foot. The Midland employees came down to the tune of $200, in order to have the matter dropped."
