CONTRACTOR WINS BATES co.
DRAINAGE SUIT AFTER S
YEARS
Verdict Awarded Wills. Affirmed by
u. S, Court.

Word was received in Kansas City
Tuesday from the clerk of the United
States circuit court of appeals at st.
Paul that Judge Hook had handed
down an opinion sustaining the YER
dict of the jury in the celebrated
drainage case of Wills VS.. Bates
county.
The case was tried four times in
the federal court here, the first time
by the late Judge John F. Phillips,
the second time by Judge r. E.
Lewis of Denver, and twice before
Judge VanValkenburgh.
The point involved was whether or
not Wills, the contractor, could be
made to remove rock found in the
ditch under a contract which provid-
ed that he should remove the rock
with steam dredge or shovel. Wills
efused to go on with the contract
after the rock was discovered and
sued for his money. Bates county
contcnded that he must complete his
contract and that by reason of his
failure to do so that they had ex-
hausted all the money provided tor
the drainage ditch in having another
contractor complete it, and that they
would not pay.
The court has finally determined
that Wills is emitted to his money and
that Bates county must levy another
assessment and pay the judgment.
The judgment was for $4,000 with
interest for five years.
Frank M. Lowe represented the
plaintiff in the litigation and Frank
Hagerman represented the defendant.
- Kansas City Post.
When suit was instituted in the
above cause the Drainage District
was under the supervision of the
county court, the court acting as a
board of Drainage Commissioners in
conducting the business of the dis
trict and the drainage district at that
time having no corporate standing.
the county was made the nominal de-
fendant. The judgment we are in
formed provides that it shall be satis-
fled out Of money belonging to the
Drainage District.
