Platte river is taken out by the High Line
Ditch Company above Denver, causing
ranchmen lower down great loss from the
drought. These farmers held meeting
here yesterday, protested against the action
of the ditch company, and petitioned the
Governor for relief This evening the State
officials issued an order to the State Engi-
neer, directing him TO shut off the supply
of water above the city for irrigation pur-
