Commissioners of Prowers county
against Mary A. and Edison W. Fuller
before Judge Doughty, this week
brought in verdict of $3.50 damages to
defendants by reason of the construction
Of public highway across their land
The highway is not yet opened and for
the reason that the county commission
,rs deem s225 per acre for land an exhor-
oitant price, it will probably not be
opened now and the farmers living in
the east part of the county Will be sub
ject to the wrong heretofore prevailing
Of being forced to travsi at least two
miles farther than necessary when they
come to town.
