William Sharenbroch VS.. g. B. Ratio
ct al-Court renders its decision upon
an order to show cause why G. B,
Ratio should not be punished for dis
obeying writ of Injunction by main
tanning dam across certain stream
described as Chapman gulch, and
thereby obstructing flow of water to
plaintiffs successors in interest. The
decision says that defendant has not |
wilfully disobeyed the Judgment and
order of court, but has been permitted |
to use the water by means OF the res
ervoir until the dry season made a |
scarcity of water, and he has come to
believe himself entitled to it. For this |
reason am loath to inflict upon him
any punishment, providing he at once |
removes the reservoir and permits the |
water to flow unobstructed down the |
gulch. Defendant could use the flow |
of this water for watering his horses
by putting a water trough inside his |
gate near the road, the water running
into the trough and back into the |
stream. Such use would be without |
injury to plaintiffs successors. Order |
made that defendant open the reservoir
and permit the water to flow down the |
gulch, and if this be not done in five |
days, that defendant be brought into |
court for punishment.
