And the South Shore also claims that
by small expense on the part OF the

complain could be avoided, says the
Michigan City Dispatch.
Counsel for the plaintiffs today cited
a decision of the supreme court of this
state, in which person was enjoined
on the ground of nuisance from pollut-
ing the water of a creek, the water
having overf1own and damaged farm
crop. In this railway case he said,
the defendant uses a volume of cleo

injunction was issued to prevent the

The closing argument was made by
j. F. Gallagher. His address, which was
in behalf Of the South Shore, related
to relative property rights-whether
the rights of one extended farther down
into the ground and higher in the air
than those of the other-and the ques-

A mass meeting was held in Mer-

by the business men and farmers of
the village to have Broadway extend
ed through that place to Crown Point
With the opening OF this street it is
thought that there will be no ques-

At the sametime many of the busl-
ness men of Crown Point are tired Of
the procrastinations OF Seaman and
his fellow promoters. They propose
to take over the scheme and organize
a stock company. which will build and
operate the line.
1t has been suggested that the line
could be extended to Cedar Lake from
Crown Point and this would attract a
great deal of traffic. not only from
Crown Point. but from Gary, in the
warm summer months when an outing
at the lake would be appreciated if It

Developments are expected to come
