rPOUpLE OVER AN OLD CANAL.

indianapolis, Sept. Special. The old Wabash and
Erie Canal which has history in the court records
OF the State a monstr0us fraud, again comes 10
notice as source of annoyance TO people who own
property along It's After prolonged litigation
the use OF the canal was abandoned many years ago
and II has since become a miasmaic channel, spread
ing disease along its course from Fort Wayne TO
Evansville. When sold under order OF the court, 1t
was bought as a speculation for nominal sum. The
purchasers represented that they desired It as the
right of way for railroad TO parallel the Wabash
Line Nothing has ever been done toward building
the projected road and the investment has yielded
little revenue. Within the last few days farmers
along the course Of the canal have been receiving
letters informing them that they must procure leases
from the canal owners or their fences would be re-
moved and their farms thrown OPEN They look
upon the move as swndlng scheme, ana they ART
determined 10 resist 1t In the courts.
