all hours, lettering around near
the AlaZan meat market, and who
contrive schemes Of all kinds to
annoy the inhabitants of that sec

ITS HISTORY.
A Record of the WolfIey Cana
Litigation.
The Methods by Which the Peoria
Stockholders Have Sought to
Involve the Enterprise.

A representative of The REPUBLICAN
called on Governor Wolfey and re-
quested information as to the pending
litigation concerning what is commonly
known as the WolHey dam and canal.
The governor said:
II do not believe in trying law suit
in the newspapers, though brief state
ment of facts might not be open to such
a charge, and our company certainly
has not objected to the facts being made
public. Grosser and more over bearing
violations OF plainly written contracts
can hardly be conceived than have been
done and have been attempted to be
done by those wealthy Peoria people
against our company in each and every
one OF the four contracts between us.
In the winter of 1890 and 81 | went
to Peoria, ILL.,, and offered to sell water
rights to certain persons there, who al
ready had filings on land at or near
ella Bend. This proposition was
changed to loan of SIS, 1000 to our COM
pany, with which to construct our dam
and small canal, and with this object
the Arizona Construction company of
Peoria, ILL.,, was organized and the stock
subscribed. Later this was changed to
read, that the Arizona Construction
company were to do the work, but with
me as uperintendent, I to have full
charge of all the work, in other words,
it was explained to me, to be change
in words only, as in either case was
the one to do the work. In the deed of
trust given to secure this money and
also in the contract, there were certain
eleven sections of water rights to be re-
leased from the deed of trust. Monthly
estimates of expenditures were to be
furnished our company, and we reserve
the right to sell water rights. D..
"Soon after the beginning of the work,
they refused to recognize me as super
intendent or to allow our company any
voice in the expenditures or construc-
ton work. Not single monthly esti-
mate was ever made, nor were the
eleven sections of water rights ever re-
leased. and we were prevented from
selling water rights by gross misrepre-
sensations and other active opposition.
Five times approved accounts under
protest, hoping that matters would
straighten up.
