its plant. Where once there was Il
convenient driveway, the company
found It necessary to erect a ciaduet
to offset the operations of the drainase
board. Machinery and properties Of
daily Necessity in the packing bust
ness were arbitrarily removed and It
every turn the packing company found
itself at tremendous expense to repair
damage and continue business.
The cOmpany's big cooling tower
was RACED to the ground and this
meant a loss to the FowIers of $780,
600. It is charged that the Fowlers
suffered a loss of SIS, geo when the
drainage board tore down their lard
house. $4,000 for the loss of their
driveway, $4,000 for destruction of
tunnel under James street, $3.50. 600
for general damages to the main plant
and 100000 for ground seized for
drainage purposes. The petition goes
into detail concerning damages and
the items total the tremendous sum
of $1,5OO,000.
Not since the filing of the receiver
ship suit against the Atchiscn, Topeka
& Santa Fe Railway company has a
larger case been brought in the fed
eral courts of Kansas Probably new
er in the history of the state has a
direct damage suit been brought for
sum equal to that claimed by the Fow-
Ter people.
The Kaw valley drainage district
board has supervision over property
any judgment against the district
would become easily conectable. One
of the main contentious in the case
Will be to establish the fact that the
drainage board exceeded its power in
Selling the property OF the packing
company. Then it will be up to a jury
in the federal court to assess the actual
damages.
Wants an Early Trial.
McCabe Moore, assistant United
States district attorney, is the only
TODeka- lawyer connected with the big
case With him in the trial of the case
viii be Seth Crews of Chicago. and
c. F. Hutchings Of Kansas City.
In q statement made today, Moore
stated that he believed the packiEs
company would recover extensive dam
ages against the drainage district and
that the success of the company's law
yers in defending the provisions IF
the recent law would aid the company
in increasing its judgment.
I'VE want the case tried as soon as
possible said Moore, land viii exert !
every effort to have the case brought |
to trial in Topeka when Judge Pollock |
convenes the November term Of the i
circuit court We only delayed in the |
filing of the case by the necessity Of /
fighting the new law in the Unite1 |
States supreme court.
Should circumstances arise that |
would prevent the trial of the big dam
age suit in the November term of the
circuit court, the case will be lrans
TERED to the United States district
court docket and may be disposed Of
n Topeka sometime next spring.
