Bixby & Son. giment. Judge Sug % o Settlement. “The rallroads enter a city with the pur- pose of improving it and drawing business from.it, and the same ls true of manufac- turing firms, when they construct and open plants in a city. This being the case, as & pure matter of business the parties to \his sult should certainly come to an amicablo | sottlement.” This was the suggestion cf Judge Macy, when yesterday afternoon Le | discontinued the hearing of the application of Kimball Brothers for a writ of man- damus to compel the Rock Island and other railroads to open and construct culverts and ditches under their' embankments to qurry off the flood waters which for several weeks have fllled the plaintift's foundry and elevator works on South Ninth strect 0 & depth of several feet. The hearing was begun before Judge "Macy Monday afternoon when the court attorneys and parties interested made & visit to the submerged district, in order that the court from a personal inspection of the conditions existing might be able to better determine the case. After constd- erable evidence had been taken on both | sides, Judge Macy yesterday afternoon de- | clded that it was a case in which the in- terest of all parties concerned demanded an amioable settlement rather than a resort | to law, and he so informed them. The Rock ' Island raliroad at the suggestion of the | court, agreed to increase the depth of its | present oulvert from elght to twelve inches and to 4o all it could to relleve the situa- tion, complained of by Kimball Brothers. On this understanding the court discon- tinued the hearing but still retains juris- diction over the case. Attorneys on both sldes stated that it was doubttul it the case would come before the court again, as Kim- ball Brothers would be completely satis- fied If the railroad carried out its prom- . 1ses made to the court.
