of pirates must ever be conjecture.

RavalIi County Man With Water Right
Case Impatient at Laws Delay.

RavalIi County Man With Water Right
Case Impatient at Laws Delay.
Helena, Mont. April 1O-Rees Powell
of Ravalli county, who has In appeal
pending before the supreme court
imagined because his appeal had not
been promptly heard by the court that
justice was being denied him. He
appeared before the court and said
that if the court would not give hing
his rights he would return home and
attempt to get them with a shotgun.
The court admonished him against
violence and told him he would have
to address the court through an at
torney.
Powell was laboring under great ex-
citement and had to be ordered by the
marshal of the court to take his seat.
The incident was unprecedented in
the supreme court room.
Powell was unsuccessful in a water
right case and has an appeal pending
before the court. On account of the
large amount of business the appeal
cannot be reached for one year and
powell is anxious for a decision so
he can use the water for irrigating his
property.
