COUNTY LOSES ANOTHER SUIT
Court Jury Raises the Award Made

fun.
Th fourth successful suit ajalnst the
county supervisors by land owner who
have apreaictl from the apikHtinninent
of damages connected with the establish
ment of drainage d.'-tu-s has been tnel
at Avix. It was the suit of John s
Yoodburn, owner of an amusement park
at Carson, through which the N'tshna
botna ditch ran, cutting off a large ene
of the park itself. dVatroj inf Its beauty.
The board allowed him 000. The case
was tried before Judge Arthur and a
jury. A sealed verdict was returned late
yesterday afternoon, and Information that
Is undoubtedly rehable indicates that the
Jury gave Wood burn
J. J. Hess was attorney for the plslntl'f
and the board's Interests were looked
after by Attorney V. H. Klllpack. It
required two days to try the suit.
In the Carson Milling company' case,
where the construction of the ditch
turned away the water from the mill and
destroyed the property, the board allowed
tt.TOO. The Jury in the district court
raised this to I..0CO. and the Judgment and
costs have been paid. In the ease of J.
M. Pullrn, whose sandpit at Oaklani
were likewise destroyed by the same
ditch, he was awarded and secure 1
a Judgment at the end of a suit fixing
the amount at 11,000. This ha also been
paid, together with the costs. Thomas
J. Macklln. who had been awarded IK
In payment for 11 acres of land taken

The uniform luccess of these appeals
and suits has caused a revulsion of sen
timent In the minds of several of the
member of the board, who will no longer
feel Inclined to Insist upon low estimate
of dsmage and high ratings of benefits
In future ditch establishments. It was
admitted yesterday that damages had
been too low, but that In many cases. If
the apportionments had been raised, the
ditches would not have been established.
The bad festure of all of these suits 1
the fact thst the men are simply suing
their neighbors, as the Judgments must
all be paid from sasessments levied upon
the lands supposed to be benefited by
the ditches. The costs of litigation and
the heavy Judgments that have already
arisen In connection with the Nlshna
botna ditches will largely increase th
Uses to be levied against th benefitted
land and will bring th total up to sue"!
n amount that would have caused th
most ardent advocates of the ditch to
have opposed It In the beginning.
Hereafter It will be the policy of th
board to secure better prices from th
contractors and no longer attempt to
make the land owners bear an unequal
burden. Some Interesting discoveries
have been made In connection with the
dltch-dlgging business, and the board
members have become convinced that
contracts have been let for t cent a
yard that would have been profitable to
the contractor at 8S cents.
HEWITT'S TRIAL BEGINS
ON SHOOTING CHARGE
The trial of A. C. Hewitt. Indicted on
the charge of shooting with Intent to kill
V. H. WcUHl on Msy last, as the latter
wss about to take a car for Omaha, oc
cupied the time of Judge Wheeler and
a district court Jury yesterday. The state
finished Its direct testimony 1st In the
afternoon and the defense asked for an
adjournment until this morning. By the
testimony of half a dosen witnesses the
state established the fact of the shooting
and tit slleged malice that prompted
It. Attorneys for the defense said last
evening that they would try to how that
the shooting was Justifiable on the theory
of self defense, and that Hewitt had rea
son to believe that McCill meant to Injure
him. This will be contrary to the evidence
of the stste, which showed that McOlll
had no weapon of any kind and that
Hewitt bens n shooting the moment he
got near his Intended victim as he ap
proached him on Avenue A. It was shown
that McGIll sought to protect himself by
getting behind a telephone pole and that
Hewitt Invited him to stand out and be
hot. Two of Hewitt's bullets struck Mc
Gill In the groin. Inflicting Injuries from
w hich he can never recover. The malice
for the shooting was shown to lie In the
fancied belief thst Hewitt had reasons to
be Jealous of McOlU's attentions to Mrs.
Hewitt and to her children. McGIll had
been taking his meals with the family
and the shooting followed immediately
after lie had refused to psy the board
money to Hewitt Instead of giving It tn
Sirs. Hewitt. The testimony showed that
both Mr. and Mrs McOlll had long been
real benefactors of the Hewitt family.
