TO DRAIN THE FARMS.
This Is Third Court Case Involving
John Frost and Nick Sadler
Of Waterloo.

Waterloo, May 20.-The neighbor-
hood quarrel involving John Frost and
Nick Sadler Is dragging along in the
district court and is furnishing plenty
Of gossip for rural residents and their
families who are attending the trial
The case is one in which John Frost
Is suing Nick Sadler for $500 as dam
ages which he claims was inflicted up
on him by Sadler who plowed a fur
row on his own farm to drain 1t, there
by causing the water to back up and
inundate Frost's property According
to the evidence Frost and Sadler are
neighbors and own adjoining farms In
Fox township. Sadler tiled his farm,
which was lower than Frost's, up to
within fifteen feet of the dividing line.
Then Frost tiled his property and
caused the water to drain onto Sad
ler's farm. In order to connect the
Frost drainage with his own thing,
Sadler plowed furrow to drain the
water Now Frost says that the water
backs up and covers his premises.
