APPEAL IN BIG DITCH CASE
Rock Island Railroad Decides ia
Take Matter 10 Court.

validity OF Establishment
of District Attacked.

Although II was fully expected that the
confectionery over the establishment of the
N~lshnabotna drainage ditch would be
taken into the courts. the land owners who
arc opposed 70 the project have received
aid from an unanticipsted source. The
Chicago. Rock Island & Pacific Railway
company Yesterday served notice on County
Auditor Innes that it would appeal to the
district court from the action Of the Board
OF Supervisors, sitting as a drainage BOARD
i'm establishing the Nishnabotna drainage
district. A bond in the sum Of $500 was
filed Yesterday Afternoon by the railway
company.
The line OF the Rock Island from Avoca
! south to Carson will be affected by the
construction Of the proposed drainage ais
trict. The Carson branch runs near the
Nishnabotna river and II is claimed by
the railroad company that the construction
Of the proposed ditch would neeessitate
some changes in the line.
As the railroad company has decided to
appeal from the establishment Of the ditch,
such action will not now DE necessary on
the part Of those landowners who were OPP
posed to the project. II is possible, how
ever. that some Of the larger Directing
landowners may decide tc GO in with the
railway company WV
the case stronger.
Attorney Frank Shinn Of Carson, who
represents some Of the owners Of land ar
fected by the ditch. stated that while he
would certainly appeal from the appraise-
ment of damages in several cases, he would
leave IT for the railroad TO take into court
the matter Of the establishment of the
drainage district.
It is expected that the appeal by the rail-
way company will come on for hearing at
the next term of court, which opens Au-
gust 81. as the statute provides thai The
appearance term shall be the trial term
The case will. in accordance with the
statute, be tried In equity.

tips stand for anything. Then again, HUI
