A12d21t Candidates Toil Over Muddy Eoads to Picnic Grounds The annual plcnlo of the Pottawattamie County Mutual Protective association waa held at Parrlsh grovo In Hasel Dell township yesterday. The organisation la better known as the Antl-Horsethlef as sociation, and ita name is a food indi cation of the determined character ot the men wTto compose it and who Joined in the plcnlo yesterday to the number ot about 300. It waa a good opportunity for the candidates of the various county offices to get acquainted with these men, and all took advantage of it. County Clerk Harry Brown, Dillon Ross, J. r. Christiansen, W. A. Groneweg and George Darrlngton, all republican candi dates, started out in a big five-passenger cnr. Clem F. Kimball and Robert B. Wallace, who were chosen to make the speeches, started in Kimball's runabout. About four miles from the plcnlo grounds a steep muddy hill waa encountered. The big car climbed it all right but Kimball's machine got stuck In the mud and strip ped Its transmission gear. As the bit car could not carry any mora and as Kimball and Wallace had to reach their destination in time to begin their speeches. Brown and Darrlngton gener ously gave them their seats and walked the remaining four miles in the boiling heat, County Recorder Barghausen, County Attorney Capell and a number of other democratic candidates started out before noon in the expectation of getting dinner at the Parrlsh home but were delayed by the muddy roads until long after the dinner hour. About S o'clock, when they were nearly famished a mean advantage was taken of them. Brown and Darrlng ton got hold of a big picnic basket filled with a chicken dinner and offered to feed the hungry democrats If each would promise to vote for every republican can. dldate present. They demurred for a moment but Capell declared he would agree to anything to keep from starving. While they were enjoying the dinner Capell paused long enough to tell the story of the Irishman who had forgiven all of his enemies on what he waa led to believe was tils deathbed but ended with "dom ye, this don't go If I get well," The picnic was one of the most enjoy, able yet held by the association. Postal Removes Its Poles from Streets On Broadway, from Main to First streets, yesterday the forest of poles were cleared away, sawing them off at the curb line.

Judge WTieeler in district court yester day rendered a decision affecting the uses and government of rights-of-way for drainage ditches. He held that the title to the land does not psss from the owner, but that the rights acquired by condemnation act only as an easement and that the public has no rights nf any character upon the trois, except for the use of drainage ditch purposes. The decision sets at rest further talk of converting ditch levee banks where thev tun through private property Into public roadwaya. The court alo holds that boards of county supervisors have full power to order the construction ot fences on both aides of the ditches, to bo built at tho cost of the adjoining prop erty owners. The decision was handed down In the suit of Fred J. Boles and J. J. Splndler against O. W. Barton and F. G. Hetsot, township trustees of Knox township, and the Board of County supervisori. Last August the trustees, acting in1 the ca pacity of official fence viewers, order! I the construction of a fence between thn lands of Barton and the plaintiffs along a section of the No. 8 district of the Nlshnabotna ditch. All of the right-of-way, 100 feet wide, was On Barton'a land, with the exception of three feet. The possession of this narrow strip made necessary the order for the construction of the fence at fha cost of the plaintiffs, and they sought to prevent it by securing a temporary restraining order. It was upon the hearing of this order that the court's decision waa based. Judge Wheeler found that all of the equities were with the defendants, and held that ns the original owners can reclaim all of the rights to use the atrip, not inconsistent to the purposes of a drainage ditch, they were obliged to con struct the fence ordered by the trustees. The court rendered a decree sustaining all of the contention of the county board and ordered the costa of the suit taxed to the plaintiffs. School Grounds Put in Good Condition Leonard Leutilnger, custodian and su pervisor of t'aa public school build ng and property, reported yesterday that the work of cleaning and repairing all of the buildings had been practically completed and everything would be In readiness for the opening ot the schools In September at least a fortnight earlier than usual. 1 The Courtland school building In East Omaha has been repaired and placed In the best condition that It haa aver been.
