RIG DRAINAGE SITT IS ENDED. The jury in the case of Philander S. Mace against George Weideroder, which was on trial in the circuit court during the past two weeks, about 7:30 o'clock Wednesday night returned a verdict In favor of the plaintiff, Mr. Mace, in the sum of $800. Mr. Mace was suing for damages because water drained off Wied croder's land had damaged his crops and farms. In addition to the damages, an injunction to prevent Weideroder from allowing the water to drain off in the future was asked. This phase of the verdict remains to be decided by Judge Hughes. It is probable, though, that Judge Hughes will follow the findings of the jury and grant the permanent injunction. One of the hardest fought points of the case was whether Weideroder ditched his land in such a manner as to drain the water onto the lands of Mr. Mace. The jury found that he had. The case was venued here from Clay

county.

The verdict of the jury was made in the answering of the following interrogatives: Was there a natural water course leading from the ponds in question c<t the defendant’s I'urm across the highway onto the farm of the plain-

tiff?

Jury answer: No. Has the water in question flowed from defendant's land upon the lands of the plaintiff through the course in question continuously, exclusively and uninterruptedly under a claim of right on the part of the defendant and his immediate and remote grantors for twenty years before the bringing of this suit with tie knowledge and acquiescence of the present owner and his immediate and remote grantors of the land nowowned by the plaintiff? Jury's answer: No! Did the defendant, George Wiedoder, dig ditches and lay tile from ponds, canyons or depressions on his land and congregate the standing of surface water on his land near the Hnd of the plaintiff, Philander S.

“FATS" DEFEAT “LEANS" IN HALL GAME—SCORE 13 TO

“Just like taking candy from the children.” This is the verdict of the Fats,” who took the alleged ball players, representing the 'Leans” irto camp on McKeen field tyednes day afternoon by a score of 13 to 7. The “Fata” started right off in the first inning by scoring 3 runs. And then they kept right on all through the game until at the end they had

amassed 13 talleys.

On the other hand. Cleve Thomas who was pitching for the "Fats,” was a complete puzzle for the "Leans.” Not until the seventh Inning did they get a run. In this inning Cleve’s teammates urged him to allow the “Leans” to hit so that they could practice up in fielding. The resell w .s that Cleve let them hit and the fielders refused to field, allowing the "Leans” to score 7 runs. That was all, however, for Cleve blanked them in

the last two innings.

The acting of the cast, both in last night's play and "Secret Service.” which was given about two weeks ago, was made possible by the training of Professor Pfuff, of Indianapolis.
