Peter Menegat Wants $4000
for- Artificial Creek Over
flowing His Land.
A suit' was Instituted today by Pa
tor Menegat, against the Simpson
Lumbar Company and L, J. Simpson
for 14000 for damages which ho al
leges tho SlmpHons caused by build
ing an artificial channel from Clear
Creek to Eel Crook, musing a sand
bar nt the mouth of Eel Creek and
Ten Mllo Creek, which caused the
waters to overflow his property, at
tho mouth of Eol Creek, almost com
pletely underdntlng It nt times.
Tho wntor In Its natural courso
flowed from Edna Lake, along Clear
Creek, at Eol Lako, tho minds. Iiolm;
deposited In Eel lako, then flowed
Into Eel Creole emptying Into Ten
Mile Creek,
The Simpson company holds prop
erty along Eol Crcok und tho watom
overflowed the IuikIh of tho Simpson
company cortaln times of tho yoar.
To provont this the Simpson com
pany or h. 3. Simpson, constructed
an artificial watrwny from Clear
Crcok to Eol Creek, and drained tho
wutors from tho Simpson laudu. A
Bhort time after tho waterway was
built, Menegat noticed that tl o wa
ter was backing up on his proporty
nnd discovered It wns caused by a
Baud bar on tho Ten Mllo Crook,
which ho claims was the result of
tho artificial waterway built by Sim
pson, i
Mr. Simpson has refused to sottla
the matter and It will In nil proba
bility go to trial. Ho states thut tho
sand bar at Ten Mllo Crcok wan not
caused by the waterway which ha
built but the result of sand blowing
into Eel Creok during the last- year.
