HERMAN FARMERS WIN OUT
IRRIGATION SUIT AGAINST BUT
TERRIFIED TUNNEL co.
Decision of the Lower Court Reversed
By the Supreme Court - Tunnel
Dried UP the Springs.

A decree was handed down by the
supreme court yesterday reversing the
Judgment OF the lower court in favor
of the defendants in the irrigation suit
of Herman Irrigation company VS..
the Butterfield Mining & Milling COM
pany ct al.
The case involves important water
rights in which the farmers of Fort
HERMAN and other villages west of
the Jordan river are interested. The
farmers of HERMAN organized COM
pany in the early days of the territory
to draw water from Butterfield creek,
a stream which flows from the eastern
slopes of the Oquirrhs. Some years ago
the Butterfield Mining company drove
tunnels into the mountains, whence
flows the creek, and from these tunnels
considerable streams of water poured
into the creek. The mining company
then obtained $500 acres of land on
the bench below and claimed the right
to take portion of the water from the
creek to irrigate them, asserting that
the flow from the tunnels had largely
increased the volume of water in the
creek. The HERMAN farmers objected,
but in the lower court the mining
company was granted the right to take
a portion of the water from the creek
for the land.
In the opinion of the supreme court,
which is written by Justice Baskin,
particular stress is laid upon evidence
on the trial in the court below, that
certain springs in the hills which we're
known to have flowed regularly for
thirty-eight years. had dried up since
the tunnels were driven. The lower
court held that there was no proof
that the tunnels affected the flow of
these springs. but the supreme court
disagrees with this conclusion and
holds that the cause of the drying up
of these springs was the driving of the
tunnels cutting their source of sup
ply.
On this point the decision of the
lower court is held erroneous and the
case is ordered remanded to the court
below for new trial.
Chief Justice Bartch and District
Judge McCarty, who sat in the case,
concur in the opinion.

STOCK TRANSAChON|N DISPUTE
INTERESTING SUIT IN JUSTICE
SoMMER's COURT.
E. T. Stolzenberger Claims Broker
A. L. Morris Didn't Return Antler
Shares According to Contract.

An interesting civil action was tried
in Justice Sommer's court yesterday
morning. The plaintiff was E. F. Stol-
zenberger and the defendant was Stock
broker A L. Morris. Mr.. Stolzenber-
ger claimed that he had loaned Morris
5000 shares of Antler stock, which the
latter agreed to return at the end of a
week.
When the time expired the plaintiff
made a demand for the stock, but it
was not forthcoming. He promptly
brought suit for its delivery. By way
of defense Morris declared that he had
been engaged by StolZenberger to sell
Antler stock in such quantities as to
break the market price below q of a
cent a share.
In pursuit of this arrangement he
proceeded to sell, but when the time
came for delivery Stolzenberger re-
fused to produce the certificates. Nor
ris, therefore. asked that the suit be
dismissed, and that he be given a judg-
ment for s25S in damages and $4S COM
mission.
After hearing a number of witnesses
Justice Sommer gave the plaintiff judg-
ment for $75, the value of the original
5000 shares, and dismissed the counter
claim.

Second Operation Performed In the
Skidm0re Case.
CAUSE OF DERANGEMENT
MEMBRANE BECAME ATTACHED
TO THE BRAIN.
Surgeons Reopen the Skull and Re
move the Cause of Skidmore's In
sanity-May Result In His Com
plete Recovery, Unless Infamma-
ton Sets In.

A most delicate and difficult opera
ton was performed upon the skull of
Samuel Skidmore, the injured mail
carrier, at the Holy Cross hospital yes
terday morning. For a second time the
skull was opened and the brain was
examined and stitches We're put in the
dura mater, that very fine membrane
between the skull and the brain.
Whether or not Skidmore will recover
his mental health is not yet known.
The physicians, Drs. Root, Hensel
and Monahan, who performed the OPP
Grafton, cannot tell whether or not the
patient will recover the full use of his
mind as a result of this second at
tempt. He was resting as easy as they
had expected last night, and there was
nothing to indicate that the operation
had not been successful.
1t will be remembered that Skidmore
was hurt in runaway accident near
the postoffice about six weeks ago,
when he sustained serious injuries
about the skull When he was taken
to the hospital the physicians operated
upon him, placing decalcified bone chips
in the fracture, which was an inch by
one and one-half inches. He was re-
leased three weeks ago, apparently
we'll But on Thursday afternoon and
evening he showed signs of mental de-
TdHSemenL ana became violent, so tnat
it was necessary to take him back.
On reopening the skull, the physi
clans found that the dura mater, which
had been broken by the force of the
blow on the head, had grown to the
skull and to the brain. The edges had
not reunited, as was believed they
would do, but had become attached to
the brain and the skull, and were be-
coming a part of them. This unnat-
ural condition was the cause of the
arrangement of the patients mind the
second time.
Yesterday morning the physicians,
after removing the decalcified bone,
severed the dura mater from the brain
and the skull and sewed its two edges
together. DR.. Root placed several
stitches in it, so that the opening in
the dura mater is now only about an
eighth of an inch by an inch in length.
AS the membrane had been torn, it
could not be drawn entirely together.
To have stretched it more might have
torn it farther. The physicians hope
that the ends are closed enough to knit.
Should such be the result, the patient
will entirely recover his health, unless
should set in or menen-
gifts be caused.
The decalcified bone will not become
a part of, or take the place of, the
skull that was removed. 1t will grad
ually be absorbed as the skull grows
together again, and will pass off
the system. The scalp was
drawn over the wound and sewed to-
gether which keeps out the air while
the skull is growing again.
