Judge Barce Hearing Ditch Petition.

Attorney Elmore Barce of Fowler is sitting a special judge in the hearing of the Ryan and Oliver ditch petitions. There seems to be no effort to defeat the construction of these improvements, but a number are asking for a reduction of their assessments. The case held the attention of the court last week, and. the prospects are that it will require this week or longer to finish the hearing. Arthur Bissendon came Sunday for a visit with his parents. He was a member of Company M and is now a member of Battery C 137th Field Artillery at Camp Shelby.
