For year or two there has been a con-
troversy between two parties who desired
to drain the water from the Reservoir, if
teen miles south Of Terre Haute, and those
who desired that it should remain as here
tofore. This trouble has continued to grow
more intense from month to month, TIL it
eliminated a few days ago in the cutting
of the embankment at a certain point by
one of the parties, and the whole body OF
water, once covering three thousand acres
of low ground, is now being drained of,
damaging, as we learn, quite heavily, farm
lands In the neighborhood. The depth of
the Reservoir water ranged from four to
fifteen feet, and we are informed that the
space through which the water is flowing
can. not be filled up until the reservoir Is
almost entirely emptied, This is a serious
damage which can not be easily repaired
until the water ceases to flow through the
cut. 8 Il s ,.'' go Il .fes WAX IA.
