PECULIAR DAMAGE SUIT BEGUN.

Richard Fuller, et al. of Shelby, have brought suit in the Lake circuit court agalnßt the C. I. & L. Ry. Co., to recover damages for losses due to the floods on the Kankakee river, Which are alleged to have been more destructive on account of building embankments along the railroad right-of-way, which at times of high water obstruct the natural water course of the river and cause it cover a greater area than it would naturally do. This water caused Mr. Fuller to lose several valuable hens and destroyed a strawberry patch, apple orchard, etc. Schuyler C. Dwyer of Lowell is the attorney for the plaintiff.
