An Associated Press story from WSAW-TV, Wausau:

WISCONSIN RAPIDS, Wis. (AP) -- The legal fight over a massive pipeline project has come to an end in Wood County Circuit Court.

The last defendant in a series of cases filed against property owners by Enbridge Energy has lost his case.

A judge yesterday ruled in favor of Enbridge and gave the company the easements needed to complete its two 321-mile pipelines from Superior to Delavan.

The lines will eventually carry 400,000 barrels of oil a day from Alberta, Canada.

The pipeline project crosses the land of more than 1300 Wisconsin property owners.

330 feet of pipeline will cross Mike Ruesch's land near Vesper.

He was one of the 27 landowners named in a lawsuit by Enbridge.
