District Court
Denies Restraint
of Road Work
Injunction Asked to Prevent State De
partment of Public Works Open
ing Ditches Denied.
From Saturday's Dally
The hearing of the matter in which
C. Lawrence Stull and C. H. Nave,
residents along the Platte bottom,
sought to restrain the state depart
ment of public works, the district
engineers and the county commission
ers from opening ditches and chang
ing watercourse, was decided yester
day afternoon in the district court
when thse temporary restraining or
der that the plaintiffs sought was
denied by the court.
This action was one covering the
handling of the water that is quite
extensive at seasons of the! year along
the Platte bottom through which the
King of Trails highway, a state and
federal road project running. The
plaintiffs, Mr. Stull and Mr. Nave,
objected to the state department,
through their district engineer, mak
ing changes in the water courses
along the road and in opening up new
ditches along the roadside which it
was contended by the state and the
county was for the purpose of giving
better drainage and keeping the water
off the road.
The court held that the county and
state had not given any notice of the
relinquishment of the ownership of
the old road east of the present north
and south road and that the use of
the road for drainage purposes was
entirely in their sphere. j
, The court will hear further argu
ments on the case on Friday, Septem
ber 17th as to the water running onto
the property of the plaintiffs and
causing" damage.
In the hearing yesterday there was
much conflicting testimony as to the
water running onto the land, some
witnesses testifying that changing of
the water courses had caused the
overflow while others testified that
the overflow was a yearly occurrance.

On last Saturday Wm. Harley
happened with an accident which he
thought for a little while would be
about the end of him. He and Judd
Sutherland were filling in dirt that
had washed away from one of the
abutments of the bridge a mile east
and a half north of town. Judd was
driving the team and Bill was dump
ing the scraper. Bill was in the act
of dumping a load of dirt from the
scraper into the hole, when he brac
ed himself and in so doing stepped
on his overall leg. This gave him
crepe and the bride carried pink
roses. Her traveling dress was or
black crepe de chiene with picture
hat of black velvet.
The groom is a prosperous and en
ergetic young tradesman, worthy of
the bride he has won. They left im
mediately after the ceremony for Chi
cago, where they will be located for
a few weeks, thence going to New
York and via steamer to Miami, Fla.,
where they expect to spend the
winter.
The Beacon and numerous friends
