Injunction On
Drains Denied

An injunction sought by 35 farm
ers between Mapleton and Daven-
port, Cass county. to stop work on
county bitches Nos. 81 ad 80 was
denied by Judge a. T. Cole in dis.
trict court Tuesday. The decision.
however, does not settle the matter,
for the same farmers are plaintiffs
in a suit against the county drainage
board which will be heard this fall,
which charges that they are being
illegally assessed for the drains.
Judge Cole has named three me-
diators to interview the complaining
farmers. and it, is likely that the
case may be settled out Of court.
