High Water on the Upper connecticut.

The Connecticut river has risen steadily
in northern New Hampshire since Sunday
night, and has covered the low meadows
lying along the river from Fifteen Miles
falls, to the head of Guildhall falls, creating
a miniature lake, - miles long, and all
the way from one mile to four wide. This
eXpanse of water takes in the river and
the banks, both on the Vermont and New
Hampshire sides of the stream. The logs
of the big drives of the Turner's Falls and
Connecticut River Lumber companies are
scattered in every direction, and it will re-
quire a great deal of labor and expense to
gather them up and place them back in the
river when it resumes its natural limits. A
further and continued rise of water, which
will reach high-waler mark, is expected.

Bay, and will fortify Inyak island. Del

the same latitude as the Transvaal Repub-
lie, from which it is separated by a strip of
territory from so TO 10 miles wide, COM
prising Zululand, which is practically a
British protectorate. The obvious pur-
pose of Great Britain in acquiring posses
sion of Delagoa Bay is to have a point of
vantage in the event of trouble with the
Transvaal. Inyak island, in the bay, has
a height of 240 feet, and fortified would be
a stronghold.

The New Methodist Pastor.


Rev. +. w. Lewis VIII Begin His Work
Here Next sunday---TIis PostorOtes In
the Vermont Conference.
Rev. f. w. Lewis, who has been as
signed to the pastorate of the local Metho-
dist church for the coming year, is moving
here this week from Bradford, and is eX-
pected to occupy the pulpit next Sunday.
Rev. J. w. Narramore, who has been pas
tor here, was not assigned place, as he
is to devote his time the coming year to
special study. Mr.. Lewis was born IN
Middlesex, this state, but went to Massa-
chusetts when a lad, and remained in Bos-
ton and vicinity until 81. lie was ad-
mitted to the ministry in the Vermont
conference in 1879, and passed the fonr
years course of examinations with credit.
He has been stationed at Topsham; Gays
vile (where a heavy debt on the church,
lust previously built under the pastorate of
Rev. Elihu Snow, was partly paid and ar
rangements made so that the balance was
Inundated next year,; Stowe; Perkins
vile; Weathersfield Centre when that
charge was about the best of the second
grade appointments); followed W. X.
Davenport, now of Barre, at Weston; sue
ceeded Rev. II. A. Spencer at Randolph;
and his last two pastorates were at Barton
and Bradford. Mr.. Lewis is known as
worker, and has left all his charges better
than he found them. There have been
debts on all the churches he has served.
These were cancelled during his pastorates
at Topsham, Stowe, Perkinsvlle, Ran
dolph and Barton, and the greater part
paid or provided in every other case except
Weston. He was statistical secretary of
the conference almost from the time of his
admission, until, on account of entertain
ing the conference on his charge, he was re-
leased from the Office four years ago. He
has also served as journal secretary, and
has been on the board of examination
most of the time since completing his own
conference course. There have usually
been large additions to his churches. At
Barton he organized young peoples So
ciety (Epworth league), and during his
fifth year there the average attendance had
grown to be over fifty by actual count. His
family consists of wife and three daugh-
tiers. Rev. Mr.. Lewis and family will be
welcomed at a reception at the church par
lors this evening 1t is hoped that mem
bers of the congregation will embrace this
opportunity to meet their new pastor.

The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-03-10

The trial of the case of the North
Point Consolidated Irrigation company
against the Utah Salt Lake Canal
company, the South Jordan Canal
company, the North Jordan Canal
company and Salt Lake City and
county was begun yesterday before
Judge Norrell without jury Messrs.
E. w. Taylor, John NJ. Zane and c. T.
Loofbourow represented the plaintiff,
Messrs. Richards & Richards, the
defendant canal companies. Mr.
Graham F. Putnam appeared for Salt
Lake county and Mr.. d. H. Hemp
stead for the CITY.
The plaintiff alleged that for ten
years it has been the owner of certain
rights to water from the Jordan river
and is the owner of the right to con-
duct said water through a surplus
water canal extending from the Jordan
river; and the plaintiff also claims to
be the owner of an extensive system
of irrigation bitches from the surplus
canal which it Operated.
1t is then alleged that the defendant
canal companies own and operate a
system of canals and of water bitches,
southwest of the plaintiffs canals and
bitches; that the country through
which the defendants canals pass are
strongly impregnated with alkali and
other mineral substances which render
the drainage water from said lands
wholly unfit for irrigation or culinary
purposes; that the defendant COM
panies take a large quantity of water
from the Jordan in excess of their
needs and turn the excess or waste
over the alkali land for the purpose of
teaching and making the said land
arabic; that this waste water makes a
chain of lakes and sloughs which
drain into Decker's lake and befoul
the water and the alkali water finds
its way by drains constructed by the
defendant companies into the PLAINTIFF
bitches and canals and makes the
culinary use.
1t is alleged that Salt Lake county
and Salt Lake City have some interest
in and control over the surplus water
canal and they are therefore made
parties to the suit.
Plaintiff alleges it has been dam
aged by the aforesaid acts of the de-
PENDANTS in the sum of $4,000 for
which amount judgment is prayed and
plaintiff also asks for a temporary and
permanent injunction.
Judge Street some months ago
granted a temporary injunction pend
ing the hearing. The defendants ap-
pealed to the supreme court, but that
tribunal refused to take cognizance of
an interlocutory order and the injunc-
ton stood until recently, when it was
dissolved because the plaintiffs ap-
peared unwilling to go to trial and
had the hearing postponed several
times over the protest of the defend
ants.
The case was proceeding when court !
until this morning when it |
will he resumed

JOHNSON VS.. TooTLE.
Supreme Court Affirms the Judgment
of the District Court.

In the case of L. Johnson ct al. VS..
Kate Tootle ct al. appellants, the
supreme court yesterday handed down
an opinion written by Justice Miner
and concurred in by Chief Justice
Zane and Justice Bartch in which the
/ judgment OF the lower court is af-
| irmed.
On Dec %. 1890. one Hatch was the
owner of certain lands in Uintah
county, which were at that time sub
| ject to the lien of a trust deed for SO, 900
in favor of the Deseret Savings bank of
Salt Lake City. Upon the said date
the appellants recovered a judgment
against Hatch for $500 and costs, and
subsequently in May, 1891, the respond
ent agreed to purchase a certain por
ton of the lands, and as a part of the
purchase price were to pay off the
trust deed in question. They did pay
il, and a release was executed by the
savings bank and filed for record. Sub
sequently a deed was executed by
Hatch to the respondents for the land
purchased.
AT the time of agreeing to pay the
trust deed. at the time of paying it
and at the time of receiving the con-
veyance for the land respondents
knew nothing of the judgment.
It was alleged to have been repre-
scented TO them by Hatch that there
were no judgments against him, and
that the trust deed was the only en-
cumbrance on the land. There was
no transcript Of the judgment filed in
Uintah county; the judgment was rem
dered at Provo, Utah county, which is
a great distance from the county of
Uintah.
In September 1894 appellants issued
an execution and levied upon the land
purchased by respondent and the ac-
ton was brought to enjoin the sale of
such lands and for decree subrogat-
ing respondents to the rights of the
trust deed paid off and discharged by
them under the circumstances afore-
said. 1t was also claimed that the
clerk of the First district court did not
keep proper judgment book as re-
quired by law, and that the judgment
in the book kept by him was of no
effect
The court below found the issues for
the plaintiff, from which the appeal
was taken.

cape. He is still far from well and
will require medical attention in the

examination will depend on how
quickly or how slowly he RECEIVERS.
He had a partner in the alleged
burglary who pleaded guilty and was
held by the district court to be dealt
with. The parties, it is alleged, got
away with so bushels of wheat
