RIVERSIDE

RIVERSIDE, Sept. s.-(Regular Corre-
spondence.) The celebrated and highly i'm
portant Stearns rancho water case was de-
cided by Judge Noyes of the superior court
of Riverside county today. The judgment
is for the defendant. This was case in
which F. r. Weidenmueller, acting for
some sixty water users under the North
Riverside and Jurupa canal, in West River
side, brought suit against the Stearns
Rancho company to enjoin defendants
from removing the head-gates in the canal
opposite the plaintiffs premises.
This head-gate was used by plaintiff to
''back up" and raise the water in the
canal to a sufficient height to irrigate
plaintiffs land, which lies closely abutting
on the south bank of the canal.
The defendants threatened to take out
the head-gate and construct flume from
the bottom Of the canal to plaintiff land,
thereby lowering the place of diversion and
preventing the plaintiff from irrigating
the higher portions Of his land.
The decision says: 1.-The only controversy
arises over the means and methods OF
diversion. Plaintiff has been taking water
under the head-gate method since $780,
but during that time the canal has been in
the possession and control of the defend
ant Rogers and others under a contract
of purchase, and, as contended by de-
fendant, the means employed by plaintiff
as to the manner of diverting the water
cannot ripen into a right as against the
servient estate"
