BIG WATER CASE ON TRIAL
REHEARING OF HERMAN co.
VS.. KEEL AND OTHERS.
Tried by Judge Hiles in March, 1897,
and Reversed by the Supreme
Court.

Judge Rolapp sat on the bench for Judge
Hiles yesterday, hearing testimony in the
case of the Herman Irrigation company
against George ". Keel and others. The
platnuff was represented by King Bur-
ton & King and Ferguson & Cannon, and
the defense by Bennett, Howat Hark-
hess, Sutherland & Van Colt
The case was tried by Judge Eiles in
March, 1897, who found the issues for the
defendant The plaintiff appealed the
case to the supreme court, with the re-
suit that the ruling of the court below
was reversed and a new trial ordered on
March l9, 1899. A motion Tor a new trial
was oyerruled by Judge Hiles on June II,
a temporary restraining order was is
sued by Judge Ritchie on July Is, 1896
enjoining the plaintiff from interfering
with or changing the headgates or doing
anything TO prevent half OF the water
of the BUtterneld creek from flowing into
the defendants ditch.
The case has quite history and goes
BACK TO the year 1850, when the plaintlH
claims that its grantOrs and predecessors
settled on a large tract of land in the
southwest part of Salt Lake county,
which was at that time sterile and had to
be irrigated in order to become at all
productive. They cultivated the land and
built town, which is known as HERR
man.
Water was supplied to the town and
the surrounding country from Rose and
Butterfield creeks, and if il had not been
for these two creeks there would proba-
bly, never have been any town Every
thing ran along smoothly from these
early years down to the year 1894 Then
Keel and his associates, the plaintiff
claims, diverted the water of Butterfield
creek, TO the great detr1ment and dam
age of the citizens of Herman,
The defendants denied that they wrong
fully diverted the water in question, and
allege that in 1892 the Butterfield Mining
company owned q. large number of claims
near the point where II was alleged that
the Butterfield creek was diverted, and
spent 100000 n developing these claims.
In the year 1892 they ran two tunnels,
the Queen and the Butterfield, into their
claims. In the course of time, seepage
collected in these tunnels and soon be-
1893 they appropriated the water coming
out of the tunnels for mining, agricul-
tural and other purposes.
Since the year 1892 the other defend
ants to this suit took up and fenced in
2 500 acres of land to the north of Butter
field creek, and acquired from the defend
ant company the water flowing from its
tunnel for the purpose of 1rrigatng and
retaining their land and putting it under
cultivation.
To this end they constructed headgates
on the Butterfield rauch and conducted
the water Of that stIfsam by means of a
ditch to their lands. The defendants
claimed that at no time did they take
from the creek as much water as flowed
into it from the tunnels, or that they de-
creased or diverted the natural flow of
the creek. There are volumes of tran
script and printed testimony that will
be introduced IN evidence and the case
will probably occupy the entire week

It was expected that the races would

noon races will be held on the gravel
track at Calder's park. The biggest
part Of the local riders viii be in
either Of the two events. and the pres

and Lawson viii give added interest to
that part Of the days sport.
The fact that all Of the racers this
year must be members of tie National
Cycling association, under whose aus
pices the meets are to be held. is an
advancement in the line Of cleaner
sport. Before any mans application to

who are a detriment to clean sport he

are to be made viii be by that band.
Managers of ball teams usually have
trouble, but Joe has more than his

the hard feeling. He doesn't want to
