Editor Bowie Couldn’t Find Shelby on the Map

Editor John Bowie, of the Kankakee Valley Review furnished a good deal of amusement Tuesday <• at the court house in Kentland. The big Wiliams ditch case was being tried and he as a witness was. asked to show them on the map, “where the water was wet” at high water. He was given a pointer and started to trace the Kankakee river without deciding upon the place. Finally he said “If some one w'll show me where iShelby is on the map, I will show them the district flooded.” The court then laughed long and loud.
