More in Shinn Service Suit

More in Shinn Service Suit
Additional evidence will be
heard today in this city by
Judge Wheeler in the case of
A. j. Shinn against Harrison
county. The suit is one that
has attracted a great deal of
attention in all sections of the
state where drainage work is
being done under the recently
enacted drainage laws.
The action is one in which
the plaintiff, as sheriff of Har-
rison county, demands fees for
the service of ditch notices in a
joint Pottawattamie and Harri-
son county ditch. The notice
is the ordinary blanket affair,
containing the names of all the
parties affected by the ditch
in Harrison county, and the
plaintiff charged fees and mile
age for each of the names con-
tanned therein, the amount in
all reaching $1,000. The work
of service is alleged by the
plaintiff to have consumed fif-
ty-seven days.
The case was first tried at
Logan, Harrison county, where
the action was brought by
Shinn. After hearing the tes-
timony in the case the matter
was taken under advisement
by Judge Wheeler. Before a
decision was rendered, however,
the case was reopened for the
submission of more testimony
by the plaintiff, and this will
be heard by Judge Wheeler to-
day.
The interest in the case is
due to the fact that if the
plaintiff wins in the action and
the ruling is upheld in the SUI
preme court it will establish a
precedent that will mean the
payment of thousands in addi-
tional fees in all parts of the
state where drainage work is
under way. The notices are
served in all the counties in the
same manner and with the same
legal forms, and if it is possible
to collect separate fees for each
service in one county it will be
possible to collect in another.
In the present action the
Harrison county board offered
a compromise, rendering $500
in settlement, but this was re-
fused by Shinn, he preferring
to fight the case to a finish in
the courts for the full amount
of the claim.
The defense maintains that
the work might as we'll have
been accomplished by some
person deputized for the pur.
pose at a reasonable figure
that it did not require the high
priced services of the county
sheriff. Nonpareil.

Vail Observer: When last
the Iowa legislature was in ses-
sion, the state fair lobby
pressed hard for an appropria-
tion of 100000, in face of the
fact that it had just cleared
$4,000 at its very successful
exhibit, but the salons failed to
see the necessity of making a
donation to a private corpora
ton, wealthy on its own ac-
count and very prosperous in
business, and gave them not a
cent. At the state fair last
year $4,000 in the clear was
the result, and now a donation
of $3.50, 900 is asked for. The
legislature might pass a joint
resolution expressive for their
admiration for an exhibit of
unlimited gall, but make no
cash donations of the peoples
money.

Supervisors Employ no Attor-
neys

neys
The ruling made sometime
ago by Judge Green to the eff
feet that the boards of super
visors had no right under the
law to employ legal counsel to
defend their acts has had the
effect of causing the super
visors of this and Monona
county discharging the attor-
neys who had been employed to
look after the various interests
of the boards.
A resolution to this effect
was made at the joint meeting
at Onawa held on Monday and
A. Kendall, P. A. Sawyer and
L. w. Fallon. who had been in
the employ of the two counties
no longer act in that capacity.
The meeting Monday was
held for the purpose of arrang-
ing to resume work on the Mo-
nona-H Harrison ditch, but a SUI
preme court decision that
would cover all of the points in
controversy had not yet been
given so an adjournment was
taken until something definite
would be given to work upon.
1t will be remembered that
some time ago Judge Macy
made a decision that the con-
tract made for having that
work done should be set aside.
1t was carried to the supreme
court and the decision was re-
versed. The attorneys for the
plaintiffs in that action have
asked for a rehearing and the
dredging company has also
made a similar request believ-
ing that the decision is not
quite clear enough to warrant
their returning to work.
When this rehearing has been
given and a decision reached
The boards will again take up
the matter.

Cushing's Body Found


The body of Alden II Gushing, the
Hotel Gates guest who had been missing
for several weeks, was found last Sun
day morning, at III o'clock, in Laurel
Park, near Crystal Springs. It was dis
covered by Southern Garren, one OF the
many hunting for Mr.. Cushing, and to
whom the reward of 800 has been paid.
The coroner's jury brought "a 9 YER
dict of death from unknown causes. On
the body were found revolver, with all
the chambers loaded, q small sum OF.
money, and q few personal effects. Near.
it was found small bottle of some dark
colored fluid.
The body was found face downward,
with one hand over its mouth, the cloth.
ing was somewhat disarranged, and
Cushing had evidently suffered much
pain before death came.
The body was found some distance
from where he had evidently fallen, and
Mr.. Garren found it about thirty yards
from the road. 1t was purely accidental,
the discovery of the body, as Laurel
Park has been searched by many people
previous.
M. M. Shepherd sent their dead waR-
on for the body after the coroner's jury
had viewed it. It was embalmed by
Thomas Shepherd and sent to. Lancaster,
NJ Y, on Monday. by the noon train, in
an expensive metallic casket, and was
accompanied by Henry A. Damn, who
had been prosecuting the seorch for his
dead brother-:n-law.
The mother of the dead man is com
pletely prostrated by the news of her
sons tragic end. Thre is no truth in
the rumor that she has since died.
