INJUNCTION GRANTED
IN DRAIN MATTER

The decision of the court in the case
of Dunn VS.. Harrington, of Durand
has been filed by Judge Collins. The
case was tried last week.
The suit arose over a drain which
crossed the farms of both parties
The farms formerly belonged to the
father of Mrs. Dunn and of Harrine>
ton and he constructed the drain
Since Harrington obtained the farm,
he has built several laterals to the
drain, to drain sink holes in his place
Dunn and his wife claimed that the
increased flow of water overfowed
their land and kept it in an untillable
condition. He asked an injunction, re-
straining Harrington from construct
ing more laterals and an order COM
pelling him to block the laterals that
he had built, so that no more water
could be drained onto Dunn's farm
than would be carried by the original
drain built by the elder Harrington.
The court grants both the injunction
and order.

Governor of Massachusetts, is to be his
running mate, as the candidate for Vice
President.
Wood and Lowden lead the voting for
the first nine ballots until in the tenth
the whole convention swung to Hard
ing with some votes to spare. Wood
started out with clear lead, maintain

Senator Harding is 90 years old, a
successful newspaper publisher and
printer first class public speaker with
a fine r. cord and an unblemished repu-

the Senate in 1914 by the Ohio state
legislature, which position he has held

country will unquestionably accept him
as big enough for the job He is emf
nently fitted for the position.
Governor Coolidge has unusual exec

the country as leader. His stand in
the Boston police strike won him ma
tionwide recognition and at his recent
reelection he received hearty congratu-
