CAN NOT BUILD A KANKAKEE LEVEE

Supreme Court Rules Adversely to Brown Dike and in Favor of Jasper County Farms. The supreme court of Indiana has just handed dbwn a decision reverting the lake county superior count* in the Brown Kankakee levee dase. John Brown and others petitioned for the of a dike on the north Side of the. Kankakee river and The Northern Indiana Land Co., which ownka large acreage in northern Jasper by its. attorneys, A. Halleck, of Rensselaer, and Schuyler C. Hubbe! of South Bend, opposed the building of the levee on ithe ground that its construction to prevent the overflow of the low lan dis on the nortif side of (the river would result in that vast Volume of water being dumped over the lands on the south ride of the river. Attorney (Halleck presented a remonstiance signed by land owners on the south side of the river when the Case was pending in Lake county but th court there ruled that the land owners who. signed the .petdtipn could not remOnfetnate inlasmuejj as they had not been named in the action for the levee. The ciase was then carried to the (supreme court and the Lake (Superior court wlas reversed. The atbistradt of the decision is as follow's: Northern Indiana Land 00. vs. Brown et aL Lake S. C. Reversed. Spencer, J. (1) Petition by appel2ms for levee on north bank of Kankakee river in Lake county, submitted to viewers, report favorable, tihe only land mentioned ais affected being in Lake county. Ajppellee filed petition to intervene, showing it owned land for fifteen miles along south Hank of river, which had shallow bed 'and* in rimes of flbod spread over the land on the north of river, and if levee is conSttirutoted-it will greatly damage appellant's lands by verflbw. Blight to intervene ws denied, levee was ordered conforuJdted. .The court erred in refusing appellant right to intervene and reversed with order to .allow appellant 'to intervene and be made ,a partly. (2) An owner bias no right for his greater convenience and benefit to build anything iwbidh, in times of ordinary flood, will throw the wa-. ter on thegroundfe of another proprietor, so as to overflow and injure them. And this 'rule hold's good as .against a public enterprise to. reefuire that the person .who claim's Ms lands will be 'injuriously affected shall be given a hearing to determine if 'he is damaged, and if so tb What extent. (3) The fact that appellant was not named in the peritipn flor the levee or in the ra port of Viewers, did nipt deprive it oif a hearing to determine whether it was damaged by levee.

HAD THE RAILROAD LAWYERS IN THE AIR

John Bowie Conducted the Case Against' C. & E. I and Made Fine Showing Tuesday. The railroad attorneys for the C. & E. I. railroad were given all they could stand by a country editor Tuesday. The editor was none other than John Btowie,, of the Wheatfield ReView. f The case/was an action brought by the Chicago & Eastern Illinois railroad .to secure consent from the Indiana Public Service Commission to annul their passenger train service between LaCrosse and’ Goodland and substitute infixed train service. Mr. Biowie represented the Wheatfield Imprtovement Association. He prepared for the hearing which was cOndudtd at Wheatfield by subpoenaeing about one hundred and' fifty witnesses from along the route of the ts. & E. I. and from Rensselaer to testify that the passenger train constituted a public Utility and after a few of the witnesses had been examined before Hon. Charles J. Murphy, of the public service .commission, Mr. Murphy asked how many witnesses he had .who would tefoify to the same thing. He stated that he had one hundred and fifty and Mr. Murphy asked If they would all testify to substantially the and Mr. Bowie said they would. He said he did not care to hear any more and brought the ease ri a conclusion.

In opening the rase the railroad had placed a number of expert witnesses “on the stand to show that the train was being operated at a loss. Mr.'Bowie, who is an old railroad man, was able to ask’ a number of question® which greatly embarrassed the expert®. On one occasion the superintendent of maintenance for the C. & E. I. testified .that the upkeep of the round ■house at LaCrosse had increased $2,450 per year as .a result of the passenger train. When Mr. Bowie, cross-examined the witness he asked how niiatny men .were employed in the round house. The witness replied that he did not know. He then asked the dimensions of the round house and again the Witness replied that he did not know. (Mr. Bowie then asked: “Now to be honeist about this thing, is it not a fadt that therp i®no rtoundhouse aball and that the train, is simply run to a side track With no Cover whatever except the dome of God’s blue sky?” The superintendent was compelled to admit that this was the case yet his testimony had been to the effect that it® u'pr keep had increased $2,450 per year. Another item of increased expense was for operators, but Editor Bowie made them admit that not a. single new operator had been installed since the passenger train was installed. The railroad attorneys found themselves up against about the best posted opposition they had ever met and indications are that the train will be continued, which is certainly greatly to be desired. William C. WJiitsell, g traveling man from Jafiayeitfte, who was a Witness in the case, stated to The Republican that he never saw a case better handled than Editor BOwie handled it for the Wheatfield Improvement Association,. He said that he had the railroad lawyers puzzled all the tftne. Attorney HJalidek was associated with Editor Bowie, but the editor conducted the main examination. •’An expert investigator, for the publdte service commission is going over the road to ascertan the actual dost and the adbual revenue caused by the running of the passenger train and upon the result of this investigation to a considerable extent will hinge the fate pi the train,. Which by all means should be maintained as it affords the only means iriany people living along the road have of travel.

DOUBT CANNOT EXIST.

Investigation Will Only Strengthen Proof We Give in Rensselaer. , How can doubt exist in the face of such evidence? Read here the endorsement of a representatixe citizen Of Rensselaer. Mrs. F. W. Rutherford, College? Ave., Rensselaer, Ind., says: “I have no reason to alter my high opinion pf Doan’s Kidney Pills which I publicly expressed some years ago. I was badly In need of something that would relieve my suffering. My back ached most of the time and I felt languid and had no, arqbttion. I had dizzy spells and headaches and there were many other symptoms of kidney trouble. When I read that'Dean’s Kidney Pills were a good remedy for such complaints, I procured a bax at Fendig’s Drug Store and they brought prompt relief. I am’ seldom without a supply of Doan’s Kidney Pills in the house and I find that a few doses now and then keep my kidneys in good working order. Others of my family have taken Doan’s'Kidney Pills and in each ease the results have been of the beat.” Price 50c, at all dealers.
