Ryan Ditch Now Before the Court.

The attorneys for the petitioners and remonstrators on the Ryan ditch hold a meeting Friday night in which an attempt was made to get together. How successful this attempt will be will not be known until a new special judge has been named and he has taken the case up for cansideartion. A seelction must ‘be made from the three names given out bv Judge C. W. Hanley last Thursday. What the final outcome in the matter of the establishment of this ditch will be is very difficult to tell. There seems to be a very general desire on the part ot all to get together and drain this large area just as soon as possible.
