PLATTsVILLE,
To REMoYR RurLp1Nas

The hearing on the petition of the Bridgeport Hydraulic Co. against Ellis Y. Wheeler of Easton. to either compel him to remove certain buildings the trainings from which are alleged to pol lute the company's reservoir on Mill river, or make such other order as the court may see fit, came up Tuesday after noon in the civil Superior courta before Judge William T. Elmer. The company in iss application states that in 1888 1t bought land on both side of Mill river in the town of EastOn for reservoir pur, poses. Part of this land was owned at l that time by Ellis F., Horace G. and | Sylvester Wheeler and they conducted sawmill and wagon blacks mith shop up- on it. 1t was agreed in making the sale that the Wheeler Brothers should move their shops to some other locality, and 1 this they Gid-tO point on 8 small trib- utary running into Mill river about LOGO feet away. In course of time the prop erty came into sole possession of Ellis 7. Wheeler. His business grew and prospered and the buildings were consid- erabiy enlarged. The Water company soon found that it's reservoir was being
 polluted by the water which came down the little stream. Considerable uuanti-
 ties of sawdust and dirt and other foul
 substance, it was alleged, were daily l LHS StESatu lHLO LH5 TGEGTs
 voir. Last fall Mir Wheeler decided to
 add 8 cider mill to his business enter. prises and work was commenced upon it. The Water company heard of it and they brought this action to stop it. The Water company further complains
 that MT Wheeler conducts his business
 in slack and careless manner and that
 large quantities of dirt and waste are al-
 lowed to accumulate about his shops to
 add to the pollution of the waters when.
 ever it rains. In reply to the Water com.
 naDv's allegations MT Wheeler, by hls
 attorneys, Hall & Johnson, denies thai |, be keeps his place in slack manner. He claims further that when the property
 was sold it was agreed that the building should be moved to their present loca
 tion and that the company allowed then
 to remain where they are for long timt
 without making complaint. He als
 claims that he has spent large sums O money in improving the property and il carrying on very successful busi damaged if he has to move Telegram. MT Wheeler is one of Eas ton's most esteemed citizens, and hi many friends hope in case he should b. l compelled to move, he may be awarded
 6 proper amount for damages.
