FINAL WALLOP OF A BIG DITCH CASE

Attorney Uhl, of Montieello, to Hoar Injunction Action Against the Borntrager Ditch. ■; < \ ptf*. The last effort to defeat or delay the construction of the Borntrager ditch will be the hearing of the injunction complaint filed a few days ago by Attorney W. H. Parkinson, which alleges technical errors by Special Judge John W. Hanan, of LaGrange, which the attorney considers sufficient to defeat the construction of the ditch, notwithstanding the fact that the contract has been let, the superintendent appointed and considerable done toward the preparation for actual construction. This will probably be the final wallop in the courts and it seems as though the effort could do nothing more than delay the construction, although some attorneys seem to think otherwise. This action was brought in the Jasper circuit court and Judge Hanley disqualified himself and submitted the names of three attorneys to hear the case, viz. Wasson, of Delphi; Berry, of Fowler, and Uhl, of Montieello. The latter was chosen and he will be consulted about the time for the hearing.,
