Appeal Taken in Borntrager Ditch Cace—May Delay Work.

Attorney W. H. Parkinson, representing several remonstrators, has filed notice of an appeal in the Borntrager ditch case. The feature of which the appeal Is taken is to decide a demurrer against the remonstrators held good recently by Special Judge W. E. Uhl, of Monticello. Attorney Parkinson in the original action attacked the proceeding under Special Judge Hanan, alleging that the proceeding was not valid on the ground that the special court term had taken A vacation and not provided an exact date for reconvening. Mr. Parkinson says that he intends trying to get the case advanced to the supreme court, and it may be that decision can shortly be procured. He stated today that he believed the bonds would not sell While the case was pending and that consequently he believes there will be delay in construction.
