"In the year 1849, a series of assaults and depedations were committed upon the propert…y and business of the Central Railroad Company (Michigan Central Railroad), in and about the villages of Leoni and Michigan Centre, in Jackson County . . . This continued until the autumn of 1850, when the freight depot of the company in Detroit, together with all its contents was burned and totally destroyed." The Michigan Central Railroad compensated farmers for the total value of their livestock when their animals were killed on the tracks. However, in 1849 the railroad had a new policy which would only reimburse the farmers for half the value. This was the beginning of "The Great Railroad Conspiracy" in which the enraged farmers engaged in acts of vandalism and terror against the railroad and its employees. Detectives were hired and suspects arrested and all were found guilty. The lawyer for the defendants was Sen. William H. Seward of New York who later became Secretary of State under Abraham Lincoln.
