Trouble Ahead for the Menon Ditch.

Winamac Democrat. Frances W. Kepler, by Borders <fc Dukes her attorneys, Tuesday served notice upon the men running the dredge in the big Monon ditch to not enter upon an eighty acre tract belonging to her, the dredge is now nearing. This notice is pi eliminary to injunction proceedings if the dredgers persist in going on without making some kind of amicable settlement with her. Her claim is that she did not receive notification of the location or digging of the ditch. Parties representing the other side, who want to see the ditch go on, say that when it was located the land in question belong to David Wood, and that he was properly notified. A good sized legal fight will probably be the result. The cost of the ditch to the Kepler land is $3 or more per acre.
