A TERRIBLE MURDER.
BY Associated Press:


Pittsburg, June 1.-THE trial Of
John and Edward Biddle and Walter
Dorman, alias R. d. Wilcox, for the
murder of Grocer Thomas D. Kahney
and Detective Patrick Fitzgerald, was
opened today. The Biddles entered a
plea of not guilty, but Dorman created
a surprise by pleading guilty. The ter
rible double tragedy for which the de-
PENDANTS are held responsible occur
red on April IL last. For weeks pre-
ceding, the city was terrorized by a
series of burglaries and robberies.
Kahney was shot down in his home
while standing unarmed in his night
clothes and Fitzgerald was killed 4
few hours later while attempting to
arrest the defendants. The wives of
Edward Biddle and Walter Dorman
were arrested at the same time and
will be tried on charges of receiving
stolen goods.
The defendants will be tried sepa.
rately and the case of John Biddle was
called first. It is believed that Dor.
man will turn states evidence.

defendants, except the Eldorado Ditch
Co. and Robt. Fairburn, the plaintiff
constructed it's canal.
9. That owing to erosion in some
places more or less sediment forming
at others and owing 20 the banks get
ting out of repair, said ditch is not
of uniform carrying capacity, but that
if placed in proper repair said ditch
Will carry from the point of diversion
or headgate to the place of use 5000
feet of water.
10. That the plaintiff requires, for
the purpose of carrying out the rea
sons of it's incorporation and for irri-
cation and carrying out it's con-
tracts, all of the waters which said
ditch will carry when taxed to its full
capacity.
II. The court finds that the defend
ant James PEBBLES appropriated Octo-
Der 5, 1893, 800 miners inches of wa
ter of the Teton river, which is subse-
quent to appropriation of plaintiff.
From the foregoing facts the court
makes the following conclusions of
law:
l. That plaintiff is entitled to a de-
cree for as much water as it's said
ditch will carry when in reasonably
good repair.
2. That plaintiff is entitled to a
decree against all the defendants ex-
cept the Eldorado Ditch Co. and Robt.
Fairburn, decreeing to it prior right
to 5000 miners inches in accordance
with stipulations on file.
3. That defendant James PEBBLES is
entitled to 800 miners inches of the
waters Of Teton after the Eldorado
Ditch Co., Robt. Fairburn and the
plaintiff have taken the amounts to
which they are entitled under the
findings.

First Right.
The most important decision that
has been rendered by northern Mon
tana court in several months has just
been handed down b. Judge D. F.
Smith, of the Eleventh district, in Te-
ton county, in the long-pending suit
of the Montana Land & Water Co. VS..
the Farmers Cooperative Canal Co.
ct al, involving the right to appropri-
ate very large proportion of the wa
tiers of the Teton river.
Judge Smiths findings of fact and
law are as follows:
l. That for more than 10 years the
Montana Land and Water Co. is cor
poration with full power to construct
and operate an irrigation plant.
2. That the Farmers Cooperative
Canal Co. is like company and has
like powers.
3. That the Montana Land and Wa
ter Co. owns and operates an irriga-
ton plant and is bound by the terms
of it's contracts to furnish water to
certain settlers.
4. That by appropriation purchase
and diversion the said company has
acquired prior right to the use of
the waters of Teton river as against
the Farmers Cooperative Co.,
Charles w. Cooper, Mary M. Cooper,
S. F. Ralston, Charles Monkham,
James PEBBLES. Ed. and Herbert Bal
ley, to as much of the waters of Te-
ton river as would equal the capacity
of plaintiffs canal or ditch, which
capacity shall be determined by the
court
| 5. That the defendants were using
prior to the institution of this suit,
and were threatening to use large
quantities of water from said Teton
river, and were diverting it from a
point above the plaintiffs headgate,
and that said threatened diversion
and use of water interfered with the
use by plaintiff of the amount of
water which its ditch was capable of
carrying.
6. That said defendants were claim
ing their several appropriations and
diversions to be superior to the
rights of the plaintiff.
Z. That all the defendants, save and
except the Eldorado Ditch Co. and
Robt. Fairburn. admitted all of the al
legations except as to the capacity of
the ditch of plaintiff, leaving to be
determined by the court the sole ques.
ton OF the capacity of said ditch.
g. The court finds that in 1891 and

FIFTEEN MEN AWAIT

During the past few days there has
been a Great Northern surveying par
ty in Kalispell, evidently awaiting or
ders. There are about fifteen men in
the contingent and their purpose and
destination has been a matter of con-
siderable curiosity on the part of the
many people who have been waiting
for something to be done on the pro-
posed extension to the boundary.
The gentlemen in charge of the out
fit are Mr.. Stark and Mr.. Callahan.
There are some 5000 pounds of provis-
ions and other supplies stored in the
baggage room for the use of the party.
While nothing official can be learn
ed as to the purpose of the expedition
it is understood that they will take
the train tonight for Boomers Ferry
and proceed from there over the Koo-
tenai valley railroad to Fernie, on the
line of the C. P. railroad and work this
way to a junction with the present
survey of the Jennings line. This done
it is more than likely that the party
will survey on down to Kalispell for
the line as set forth in the articles of
incorporation recently filed at Helena.
At any rate, the activity Of these
Great Northern surveying parties pre-
sages something tangible in the way
of railroad building.

the head Of the nation and not because of a
personal reason. Lincoln. Garfield and Nc
Kinley were all killed because OF the posi-
tions they held and not because there was
animosity against them personally. The

former recommendation to provide the coast
artillery with at least three practice ranges.
