Jasper County Democrat, Volume 11, Number 60, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 December 1908 — NO DECISION YET IN CARR DITCH CASE. [ARTICLE]

NO DECISION YET IN CARR DITCH CASE.

Judge Hanley informed The Democrat Monday noon that it would take all of Tuesday to finish going over the names in the Carr ditch matter, and he would not be able to render a decision before Wednesday. There has been so many changes of ownership of lands since the list compiled in the Wakarusa and Curtis Qreek, etc., ditches, from which the names in the report seem to have been taken principally, that the court finds it necessary to refer frequently to the records to determine who the actual owners are. This makes the verifying of the names a slow process.
