TULAROSA CANON--Ju!y 9th.

LuNOI bOttttN Era
On the 7th inst, at the eleventh
hour of the day of grace, All iniunc-
ton, granted on the ex parti testi.
mony, was served on the settlers in
the Canon, restraining them from
using the water that dances in tho
yellow sunlight through their fields
for the purpose of irrigating their
crops. A mass meeting was OF once
called and David NJ. Easton, ESD.
! vested with power of attorney to
act for the settlers. He left last
evening for Santa Fe, accompanied
by Messrs. Walters and Wilson, two
substantial citizens. We thought
when we heard of the injunction
that it was some hocus pocus affair,
granted by the lcwd Republican
who has just been kicked from his
judicial seat. But the instrument
bears the honored name of Chief
Justice Vincent, and the settlers
wisely conclude that when their side
of the question is heard, matters will
assume a less sombre appearance.
This water contest with the town of
Tularosa has been tested in the
courts several times previous to
this; and the result has been in
variably in favor of the citizens of
the Canon. The belief is universal
among the settlers that the luiunc-
tion is but the first of a series Of
annoyances to which they will be
subjected by syndicate, having for
its object the acquisition Of the
Canon for song. If such is the
case, it won't win. As last resort
the settlers propose to stock their
ranges with sheep, Those unable
to purchase sheep can get sheep on
the shares, or sell their water to
sheep men. AS all the land in a
short distance Of the river belongs
to Uncle SaHi, they can Craze where
they please, and come into water
when necessary on their own land.
Having lived in d COW ranch pretty
much for the past ten or twelve
years, like John Randolph, of Roa-
noke, I'd walk mile in slippers
through the dewey grass to kick a
sheep under ordinary circumstances

stopped some how, and the ond will
mos certainly justify the means.

The danger from Indian outbreaks

less waste Of paper any how, as the

the ability to defeat its object.
