temporarily enjoined from doing what
i, the estilpation of the petitioners for

their authority, in the payment OF
money for the construction OF what Is
known rs the ditch in the Mule ditch

Ger was issued by Judge Thornell.
Last February the county board ap-
uointed A. NJ Mum engineer to TO-
cate drainage ditch and district,
which he did. giving at the same Tune
an estimate of the number of cunic
yards of dirt that would have TO be
removed. and the exact course 'he
ditch would have to take.
The board entered into contract
with katZ & Callagan for completing
the work The board then authorized
the issuance of drainage bonds to be
sold at par Realized from the sale
was $4,000. which was paid into the
country treasury.
This sum- according to the state
nlents Of the contractors. proved IN
sufficient for completing the ditch, the
work demanding total of S3S,
after meeting with the county board.

this action of the board that precipi-
tated the fling of the petitions. the
signers holding the board members
have no legal authority to exceed the
sum of the bonds in making payment
for the construction. The case will be
heard the latter part of the month.

George Gilmore, as chairman of the

about 20 cents per cubic yard. The
board then authorized the issuance OF
drainage bonds which being sold at par
the sum of $4,000 was paid into the
treasury of the county. The contract
ing firm found this to be inadequate
and they demanded $33.18S.9S. The
board, it was understood, agreed to
make up this difference to the con-

Webster City.
The Illinois Central road has long
waged an expensive and in the main
unsatisfactory fight on the weeds
along the tracks. Machines, akin to
reapers were constructed and these
were to NOW both sides Of the track.
The theory seemed all right, but in
practice, the machines did not do
the work in satisfactory manner.
Now another machine is being intro
duced. 1t is built on the lines of a
modern street sprinkler, and 1T Is pro-
posed to sprinkle or spray the roadbed
with chemicals, which will kill the
weeds About $50 gallons Of the fluid
will be required for each mile of road.

The cash drawer in the office OF the
Colby brothers livery stable was rited
of it's contents amounting to about S30
in change. The robbery was a bold
one. The office is kept open all night,
but at the time of the theft the night
man was at the depot to meet train.
1t is presumed that the work was done
by some one familiar with the situa-
ton. Suspicion was thrown on a
former employee OF Colby Bros, who
quit their service but a short time ago.
He was arrested on complaint OF the
proprietor of the Columbia cafe on
South Sixth street, for not having paid
board bill. He will be held till the
Colby case has been thoroughly inves-
Igated.

does not have to build bridge under
it's tracks to accommodate the ditch,
as proposed in the engineers plans.
For months the proposed ditch has
been before the board of supervisors,

of the proposition appear to be about
