l awyers In Monon Ditch Case Accused of Many Delays.

Winamac Republican: The Monon ditch case is proceeding at a rate that will insure its being completed within two or three years. Judge Steis has put a stop to many of the practices which meant delay, and it now looks as if the matter would shortly be in shape so that it can be settled in a few weeks. The judge has ruled that but three witnesses shall be heard on each side and both sides are now getting their important witnesses who know the facts, and leaving at home their neighbors and friends who are willing to testify for good fellowship's sake. The Kinzie B. Clark remonstrance is disposed of. Mr. Clark contended the proposed improvement would not bene - fit him, and asked that he be relieved from his assessment of $975. The court reduced the assessment SI2C, leaving it $855. The hearing of the evidence on the Ed Shedrow remonstrance was completed Wednesday and the Adam Learsch remonstrance was taken up and is now being heard.
