Injunction proceedings to stop the pioposed letting of contracts on the Monon ditch were institued Tuesday, fulfilling rumors that have been flying about since the failure to file an appeal bond two or three weeks ago. This is a separate suit against Elmer C. Williams, the construction commissioner, and is not a part of the regular Monon ditch case. It will therefore come up before Judge Vurpillat, and not before Special Judge Slteis. The summons has been made returnable Fek 24. The petitiotn for the injunction is filed by J. C. Dunn, Adolph Liersoh, K. B. Clark, John Capouch, Fred Kroft, Thurman Clark, Fred Timm, E. W. Horner, Charles C. Williams, David Gudeman, Wilfliam Koster and Carl Meyne. It asks that the construction commissioner ne restrained from letting the contract on Feb. 28, as advertised. The grounds for this request, as set out in the complaint, are that an order establishing the ditch has never been made,’ and that Mr. Williams is proceeding without proper authority. On the other hand, attorneys for the ditch, giving Mr. Williams every authority needed, and that the record properly shows these facts. So it seems to be a case of ’tis Or taunt, and a brief hearing ought to settle the matter.
