DITCH CONTROVERSY.

Henry F. Snyder and John Hair, who
own adjoining farms in Bethlehem
township, are at loggerheads over a
line of fence and a ditch. Snyder says
that the ditch forms natural water
course through their farms. Some time
ago Hair damned up the ditch forcing
water back onto Snyder's land. There
was trouble and three arbitrators was
selected to settle the dispute, each
agreeing their decision should be final.
Snyder says he lived up to his part but
that in replacing the fence Hair had
torn down, as decreed by the arbitra-
tors, Hair put it over about three feet
onto Snyder's land. Further Hair
threw logs and stones in the creek and
now he threatens to put in a six inch
tile and close up the ditch. Snyder
says tile will not carry the water. In
a petition filed by Smith and Yohe he
asks for an injunction to stop the clos
ing of the ditch and that the fence be
fixed right and the whole matter be ad-
justed. Judge McCarty granted a tenn
porary restraining order against Hair.

wants to talk to you, and is anxious to

Mr.. Krichbaum referred to a biblical
quotation in support of a statement,
and followed by saying that the Re-
publicans are powerful and forgetful
people. "They want you to be power
full and forgetful citizens. They have
forgotten that we have a Monroe doc
trine in this country. Adapting the
words of well known orator: Our
country is bounded on the east and
north, and on the south and west by
an imaginary line. That line stands
for the sacredness of man. And when
the country oversteps that line so much
as hair width, in a high sense IL
ceases to be our country. We are here
tonight and we stand as we believe
for those things which make life worth
living, and stand for the sacredness
of man, to lear the truth. 1 believe
that nothing is so far from the truth
as that which shuts truth out. Permit
me to introduce to you a distinguished
orator, who is your friend and my

There was money before the war with
