WANTS TOWN ENJoINED.
harrisburg Citizen Says Present Drain
AGE Plan Will Flood His Lands.


Special to mes-Republican.
Webster City. June 16.--G. w.
Cooper has filed petition in the dis
trict court asking that the town of
Blairsburg, be enjoned from complet-
ing their present drainage plan, which,
he asserts, is flooding certain farm
lands within the corporate limits Of
that town which he owns and is rem
dering them useless. The Injunction is
asked against the following persons:
Mayor p. Saxer, Jack Murphy, Free
Van Buskirk Charles Williams, G. e.
Convey, Benjamin Jaycox. The above
five men constitute the town council of
harrisburg.
Mr.. Cooper's petition sets forth that
he is the owner OF all the land within
the corporate limits of harrisburg,
situated north of the Illinois Central
right of way, except the McVicker and
futile additions. 1t is alleged that
the town council at recent meeting
ordered that the regular town drain he
attached to the tile on the land owned
by Mr. Cooper. Men are now at work
attaching the two tiles. Mr.. Cooper
alleges that the tile on his land is not
large enough to carry the water which
will be drained into 1t and that it will
therefore overflow and flood his prop
erty. As relief. he asks that the
court enjoin the town OF harrisburg
from carrying out their project. When
he filed his petition, however, Mr..
Cooper did not file a bond for costs.
so that no temporary injunction was
issued and there is nothing to prevent
the town of harrisburg from going
ahead at least until bond is put
up. and temporary injunction IS
sued.
