WATER COMPANY ANO TOWN SUED $2,000 Damages Asked by J. E. D. Crow of Near Wawasee Suit has been filed in the Kosciusko circuit court by Jacob E. D. Crow against the Syracuse Water & Power Co., and the town of Sycuse. Mrs. Jeanette Crow, who owns a life estate in Black Point on Lake Wawasee, where the damage is alleged to have occured, has assigned her damages to J. E. D. Crow, who is pushing the case on the grounds that on September, 1911, the dam near Huntington street, was raised 13 inches and that all waste gates were taken out, and that as a result of this action the water in Lake Wawasee was held up to an unusual level, thereby spoiling the beauty of their shore, etc. The plantiffs have secured SI,OOO from the B. & 0. on practically the same charges, but this does not seem to deter them from seeking further re imbursement for the alleged damages. Their case does not seem to be a very strong one. Otis C. Butt, who will defend the town’s interests, states that the water has been lower by over a foot since the building of the present dam than it was seventy years ago when Nathaniel Crow first constructed this means of furnishing power for die mill he then owned. And is borne out by many other residents of the town.

CIVIC REVIVAL NOWIHPRDGRESS Attendance at Opera House Has Been Gratifying The Civic Evangelistic meetings that started Sunday evening at the opera house have been fairly well attended and it is believed that interest is increasing nightly. While no converts have been made as yet, the sermons are setting the people to think of their spiritual life. There has been much criticism of Rev. L. E. Eaton, and, as he expressed it Tuesday evening, “Many people are sitting at home in their rocking chairs praving that I will not be successful." Revs. C. A. Cloud and W. H. Mygrant have been assisting in the work. Petitioning For Increase A petition, ’the object, of which is to secure an increase in pension for John Howard. Mr. Howard receives $19.00 a month, but this is not sufficient to keep the home to gether and it is tbe hopes of the petitioners that an incrase to SI,OO a day can be secured. Mr. Howard is 69 years old and is totally disabled. Married At Warsaw Robert N. Hamilton, of Wolf Lake and Miss JennieWyland, of near Syracuse, were united in marriage Tuesday afternoon in this city. Rev. A G. Neal performed the ceremony in the office of the county clerk. hie siliioF STILL HOPEFUL Nappanee Will Send Committee To Confer With Local Men

Chances for an interurban line through Syracuse are still very good despite the fact that several newspapers, actuated no doubt by an envious spirit, and through ignorance of the proposition, continue to print disparaging and would-be facetious articles. Dr. George is at Ft. Wayne looking over the situation at that place and will no doubt have good news to report when he returns. Nappa» nee phoned here Tuesday and stated that they would discuss the matter at a meeting to be held there Tuesday evening and would very likely send a committee to confer with Syracuse meq. North Webster has her amount subscribed and a visit made to Churubusco last week by Dr. D. F. Hontz and J. W. Rothenberger, shows that city willing to do her share after they examine the credentials of Dr. George, which according to investigations conducted by local people cannot prove anything but satisfactory.
