MORE IRRIGATION TROUBLES
The Big Rock Creek People Vary Mat
ters With Criminal Prosecution

The Big Rock creek irrigation district
people seem to delight in litigation and
there are always suits on hand in which
they are concerned, to keep one of the
departments busy pretty well all the
year round.
The case tried yesterday, however, in
which the district officials had concern,
was a criminal one and in that was a
new departure. The prosecution was
against A. P. Wiley, who, previous to
the last election, was secretary of the
district, who was charged with having
feloniously withheld from L. C. Thigh
man, his successor in office, the books.
records and papers of the irrigation dis
trict.
The prosecution was f1asco, and be-
fore the testimony of the prosecution
had been fully put in the proceeding was
ended on a motion to dismiss. and the
defendant discharged. 1t was shown
that the complaining witness, Tilghman,
had not taken his oath of office when he
demanded the books of the corporation
from Wiley and consequently had no
right to them. Yesterday, upon proper
receipt being given, the books were
handed over.
1t is claimed that the grievance
against Wiley lies somewhat deeper
than a mere refusal on his part to hand
over the books. AS has been eXemplifled
in several of the irrigation districts
bonds are nice things to monkey with
that is for those doing the monkeying.
They represent big money, other peo-
ple's money. And in the Big Rock dis
trict it is alleged that there has been an
illegal issue of bonds, amounting to
about $230000, some of which have been
disposed of. Wiley was not only secre-
tary of the old board of directors but a
member also and with the incoming of
the new board big chunks were knocked
from off the bylaws in order to effect
an entrance. But once in it seemed rea-
leonably certain that the bonds could be
f1oated all right and the Indebtedness
saddled onto the people. A suit had
been brought in which the validity of
the issue was raised and attempts have
| been made to have it dismissed this,
however. has not been possible a Wiley
appears as intervenor on cross-com-
plant, and so the case is bound to go to
trial unless Wiley could be persuaded
to withdraw. Under such circumstances
it can be imagined that much ill-feeling
might exist and it is in this connection
it is claimed that the prosecution yes
terday was brought about.
