the decision on the showing made by
the attorneys for the contestant.
AS stated Yesterday, the RepUDllcan
attorneys had been driven to their last

this precincc, which gave Boyle Z ma
jority Of 90, thrown out on the ground
of the failure Of the judges to certify
the returns, but Judge Rolapp granted
the motion TO open the ballots. re-

or Driver, and then the Repuoncan
ammunition was spent.
Mr. Evans moved for nOn-suit. or

the benefit OF every possible doubt
Boyle was still elected by majority

granted and then came the cheering.
Mr.. Driver takes the defeat phllo-

candidate went in at the earnest So
hcitation Of friends, and he took the
position that. in justice to his friends
he must not give up the battle till his
defeat was made certain. Everyone
connected with the case seems glaC
that election is over.

RTvERDALE WINS.
Judge Rolapp's Decision In the Irri-
cation Suit.

SaJ1On suit.
Judge Rolapp yesterday handed down
his opinion in the case of John Man
ming ct al VS.. Joseph Fife ct al The
former. as trustees of the Hooper r.
rigalion company, in connection with
the Wilson Irrigation company sued
Joseph Fife ct al, as trustees of the
Riverdale Irrigation company. The
litigation is of much Importance, as af-
fecting the water rights of various
other localities, especially in Weber
anG Davis counties.
The result was a distinct victory for
the Riverdale people, they g winning
every contention except that their
claim was cut dowa from 20.57 cubic
feet Of water TO 1867 cubic feet.
THE EVIDENCE.
Judge RolaDDs opinion is, in effect,
that, according to proof, the RiVerdale
ditch was originally five feet wide by
one and G half feet deep at a point
where the ditch proper begins; that be-
tween this point and the point Where
the division from the river begins there
is a wide slough connecting with the
natural channel Of the river, which is
being used as means of diVerting the
water from the river into Riverdale's
ditch. The Hooper headgate was below
this slough, and was eight feet wide
by two and q half feet deep.
Originally all the water taken
through this headgate was not used
but ran over into the slough, or into g
ditch known in 1877 as Grahams ditch
In that year Graham ditch was aban-
doned, and the water taken to irrigate
the same lands by means of the River
dale ditch. The Riverdale ditch was
consequently, increased in capacity.
In 1891 other repairs to the ditch were
made, without, however, materially in
creasing the capacity.
In August, 1897, Joseph Goodale an6
others having lands under the Central
canal, had the waters in the Riverdale
ditch. amounting TO II cubic feet, turn
ed out of this ditch into the Contra,
canal through its headgate
HIGHER UP THE STREAM.
They used the waters five days and
five nights. The method of distribute
ing the waters of the Riverdale ditch
was to allow each shareholder to use
the stream once each week a length
of time in proportion to the number OF
shares Of stock owned by him.
The judge holds that the Riverdalt
people had prior right to the plaintiff
company's to the extent of 1857 cubic
