For damages, which he claims
were caused by negligence in allow
ing a water way to become so clog
ged that the course of the water
was deflected, resulting in the
flooding of his place of business,
H. C. Kehler, of Locustdale has
brought suit against the supervisors
of Conyngham township. From
what we can learn, it appears that
the Locust Mountain Coal & Iron
Company, were under agreement
to keep the roads of the township
in order. On the day in question,
they had placed several pipes in
the bed of the run, but before the
work was completed darkness came
on, and during the night a heavy
storm washed refuse into the run
and blocked the pipes, forcing the
water out into the road aud into
Kehler's place of business. The
cause of the damage being just over
the county line the case will be tried
in our courts. Kehler has employed
as his attorneys S. M. Enterline, of
Ashland and A. N. Yost of town.
