No Deal by Ann Arbor Road.
Manager Ashley Denies that it has bought the Wisconsin & Michigan

Toledo, Ohio, Dec. 28. - General Manager Ashley of the Ann Arbor Road today unqualifiedly denied that his company had purchased the Wisconsin & Michigan.  He said: "No negotiations of this character have been made.  It is not probable that the Ann Arbor would purchase this road, as the Green Bay is frozen up about three months of the year, and this would cut the road in fwo for that length of time.  No, you can say that there is no truth in the story."
