He urged the township board TO
cut ditch along the road to drain
this water east to Chapman creek.
The township board consulted the
county commissioner. The county
board told the township board to
20 ahead and dig the ditch to drain
the lands, under the direction OF
the road overseer. This was done
part OF the way. and the ditch was
dug the rest of the distance by
Marts at his own expense, under the
direction OF the road overseer.
In time the water flowing down
the ditch to the creek began TO
cut into Freeman's land. This was
in the spring OF 1912. Freeman fill
ed in the ditch. The water backed
up and flooded Marts' land. He
brought suit against Freeman In
district court and won. Freeman
appealed to the supreme court,
which affirmed the decision OF the
lower court. The ditch was never
opened again. Then Freeman
brought suit against owners of the
other two farms.

rFrom Wednesdays Daily.I

The old, old question of bitches
and dikes along farm lands is being
argued in district court today.
Thirty witnesses have been subpoe-
naed. A. ]. Freeman is suing G. A.
Scherer, Sarah e. Martz and Theo.
dore Martz. The parties to the
suit live north Of Chapman.
This suit is the outgrowth OF a
former one in which Freeman lost
in both district and supreme courts.
Freeman is suing Scherer and Theo-
dore Martz because, he alleges, the
dikes they have constructed along
the north side OF their lands, on the
south side of the road, cause the
water to fill a big ditch and over
flow ON the Freeman wheat fields.
The. defendants retort that II any
water stands on Freeman's lands II
is because he filled in the ditch
which carried the water from all
the lands down the road and into
Chapman creek. The defendants
further allege that this ditch was
legally established, and that Free
man himself is causing all the dam
age. The case is attracting much
attention among the people OF the
Chapman creek neighborhood and
many are here to attend the trial.
The story of the entire dissension
stretches over a period Of is years
The farms are situated north Of
Chapman, southeast Of sutphens
Mills. The farms are on the south
side of the road, the Marts farm be-
ing the furthsst to the west. The
Scherer farm adjoins 1t, and then
comes the Freeman place. The land
slopes to the southeast. The water
came down from the north, crossed
the road and flooded Narts' land.
