The Fight is On.

Yesterday morning temporary
writ of injunction, issuing out of the
district court of Bent county signed
by Judge Jesse G.. Northcutt of that
district, who served upon E. r.. Chew,
superintendent of irrigating division
No. 2, and upon 7. J. Burrows and
j. w. Bowman, commissioners re
spectively of districts IA and H..
The injunction is issued in the case
of the Fort Lyon Canal company VS.
E. II. Chew as superintendent and T.
J. Burrows and j. W. Bowman as
commissioners and The Arkansas
Valley Ditch and Reservoir company,
The Twin Lakes Land and Water
company, Catlin Consolidated Canal
company, defendants. The sum
mons in the case was served with the
injunction.
This is the beginning of the fight
which it was announced in the Chief
tain several days ago was about to be
begun to test the validity of the stat
ute prohibiting ditch companies of
senior priorities to loan water to com
panies holding junior priorities.
Under the terms of the injunction
superintendent Chew and Commits.
siouers Burrows and Bowman are en-
joined and restrained from furtner

the district in water division No. 2
of the state of Colorado the loans
and transfers and exchanges of water

Canal company to the Laguna Canal
company. They are further restrain
ed from recognizing other transfers,
particularly by those companies sen
ior to the Fort Lyon company to

horthcutt for U. s. Senator.

The Chronicle News is pleased to
note that the good people on the
other side of the range recognized
the sterling qualities of our highly
esteemed fellow townsman, Judge j.
q. Northcutt, and are SO appreciatiye
of his eminent fitness for the exalted
position in which they desire to place
him. All southern Colorado will be
of accord in this matter, and the peo-
pie, regardless of politics, will re-
joice in having an opportunity to
honor man by their endorsement,
who will in turn honor them. We
predict IT, at the movement begun by
our San Luis valley neighbor, will
eliminate in placing the Judge in
the senatorial chair.
The San Luis Valley Graphic thus
expresses itself:
st may be rather early to talk
about candidates for Office at the elec.
ton next fall, but as we notice some
names mentioned for governor, and
for senator to succeed Senator Teller,
we would suggest that the magnifi
cent campaign made last year by
Frank Cloudy, coupled with his well
known executive ability entitled him
to the nomination for governor next
fall if he wants it, and the people of
this section hope he wants it, and
while we don't believe that the cam
paign should be made with any one
man as the only candidate for United
States senator, we wish to place be-
fore the public the name of Judge
Northcutt as man well qualified for
the place and one that many people
of this part of the country would be
pleas to see occupying seat in
the highest Legislative body in the
world, the United States senate"
The above taken from the Trini-
dad Chronicle News viii! meet with
favor all over the Third Judicial Dis
trict, and everywhere else that Judge
Northcutt is known. During the
seven years that he has been on the
bench here he has by his fairness aud
ability won the friendship and admir-
alton of all our people, and no name
conld be mentioned for the office that
would meet with so great approval.
His endeavor has constantly been to
make justice and law go as nearly
together as is possible. And with
all his honors he has ever been the
same unassumIng and whole-sonled
man. We second the nomination.

ing water were permanently stopped,
it is anticipated they will use every
possible effort to secure Judgment
sustaining the validity of the law.
The case bids fair to be one of the
most hotly contested ever tried in
southern Colorado. 1t is stated by
those Interested in the irrigation
companies of Pueblo county and the
upper portion of the valley that the
successful termination of the sdit in
favor of the Fort Lyon canal com
pany would have an immeasurable
damaging effect upon the agricul-
tural interest of some of the most
productive portions of Colorado.
Grave apprehensions are felt for the
sugar beet and melon interests should
the loaning of water be prohibited.
1t is anticipated that those interest
ed adversely to the plaintiffs in the
action will get together and put up
as aggressive fight as lies within
their power Chieftain.

prompt testing of the law of 1899
permitting the loaning of Irrigating
water The subject, however, has
been under discussion for some
months; certain companies who claim
to be in uiured by the inequitable op-
Grafton of the law having consider ed
the taking of action in the courts to
determine whether or not the act is
constitutional. Under the provisions
of the law of 1899 the owner of
ditch owning II senior priority may
loan, upon application of a junior
owner, such amount of water to the
latter company as the former has
in excess of present needs. In doing
this the senior owner may go over
the heads of all intervening priori-
ties. This exchange of water must
be carried on under the supervision
and formal consent OF the superln-
tendent of the irrigation division,
who transmits the necessary instruc-
tions to the commissioners of the
district nffectad, Cd.
1t is the contention of the ditch
owners opposing the operation of the
L.. L., Of tpu
irrigation in operation previous to
the enactment of the law of 1899
gave vested rights to ditch owneIs to
use the water of the river in accord
ance with their priorities and that
these rights may not be infringed by
enactment of the Legislature grant
ing permission to one company to
loan to another company in such
manner as to in effect circumvent
these vested rights. The real prin
cipal of law involved Is, in substance,
whether a company owning, for ex
ample, priority No. |, has the right
to give away or loan to another water
to which only the loaning company is
entitled for the satisfaction of Its
own requirement, but which 1t does
not for the time being, as matter
of fact, need or want; or whether,
having used all the water it requires
for its own needs, the company is
not obliged to return the balance of
that, to which by virtue of its priori.
ty it is entitled to the river rather
than parcel it ont as it seems fit to
other companies.
1t is claimed that the operation of
the law has led to the practice hav
ing become established among the
big ditch companies owning the first
priorities, or trading water among
themselves in such manner as to
make use of the great percentage of
the water in the river to the exclu-
sion Of the smaller companies owning
late priorities. The Fort Lyon
canal is in the lower portion of the
valley, securing its water from the
river at point near La Junta and
extending along the north bank of
the river about 100 miles near the
Kansas line. Although it has been
borrower in the past, it appears to be
the belief of the owners of the canal
that if they can prevent the existing
practice of borrowing back and forth
between the companies farther up
the river they will gain the use Of
more water than they at present en-
joy.
Inasmuch as many of the most i'm
portant ditch companies of the valley
would be seriously affected in case
the law were declared unconstitution'
al and the prevailing practice of loan

a Lesson From the Bees.
rom the New York Tribune

From the New York Tribune
Don't stir up beehive unless you know
1t is rich one,' said an apiarist to a visitor
at his bee farm.
81 think that I would leave them alone
altogether" was the reply. 'They have
too angry a buzz about them to win my
confidence
''You are not used to them, that's ALL
said the beeman. For example, these
hives are full Of honey. and If puff little
smoke into the doors so as to sort of sufro-
cate the sentries I can topple hive over,
handle the bees like so many beans clean
the honey combs and carry them off The
bees won't harm me- And. to prove his
words, the speaker performed his expert
ment, and came back to his friend with a
smile and several heavy combs of honey
IF those hives had been nearly empty"
said the apiarist 81 would have been lucky
to have escaped with my life. The tenants
of poor hive sting to kill"
''That's strange" said the visitor 'I
should think that they would defend their
boards with especial jealousy, and the more
they have the hotter they would fight"

when alarmed the bees fly to their store

Iktomi and the Coyote.
From Old Indian Legends.
Copyright, 1901, CHM & Company }

Copyright, 1901, CHM & Company
Afar off upon large level land a sum-
mer sun was shining brightly. Here and
there over the rolling green were tall
punches of coarse gray weeds. Iktomi in
his fringed buckskins walked alone across
the prairie, with black, bare head glossy
in the sunlight.
He walked through the grass without fol-
lowing any well-worn footpath.
From one large bunch of coarse weeds to
another he wound his way about the great
plain.
He lifted his foot lightly and placed 1t
gently forward like wildcat prowling
noiselessly through the thick grass.
He stopped few steps away from very
large bunch of wild sage.
From shoulder to shoulder he tilted his
head. Still farther he bent from side to
side, first low over one hip and then over
the other.
Forward he stopped, stretching his long
thin neck like duck, to see what lay un-
der fur coat beyond the bunch of coarse
grass.
A sleek, gray-faced prairie wolf, his
pointed black nose tucked in between his
four feet, drawn snugly together, his hand
some bushy tail wound over his nose and
feet-a coyote fast asleep in a shadow Of a
bunch of grass-this is what Iktomi spied
Carefully he raised one foot and cautiously
reached out with his toes.
Gently, gently, he lifted the foot behind
and placed 1t before the other.
Thus he came nearer and nearer to the
round fur ball lying motionless under the
sage grass. Now Iktomi stood beside it
looking at the closed eyelids that did not
CULVER the least bit. Pressing his lips into
straight lines and nodding his head slowly
he bent over the wolf.
He held his ear close to the coyotes nose,
but not a breath of air stirred from it.
Dead" said he at last. Dead, but not
long since he ran over these plains. See,
there in his paw is caught a fresh feather.
He is sure fat meatT'
Taking hold of the paw with the bird
feather fast on it, he exclaimed:
why, he is still warm. I'll carry him TO
my dwelling and have roast for my even
ing meal All, hal" he laughed as he seized
the coyote by its two forepaws and its two
hind feet and swung him overhead across
his shoulders. The wolf was large and the
tepee was far across the prairie. Iktomi
trudged along with his burden, smacking
his hungry lips together. He blinked his
eyes hard to keep out the salty perspira-
tion streaming down his face. All the
while the coyote on his back lay gazing
into the sky with wide-open eyes. His long
white teeth fairly cleaned as he smiled
and smiled
but to be carried like warrior from a
brave fight is great fun" said the coyote
in his heart. He had never been borne on
any ones back before and the new ex-
perience delighted him. He lay there lazily
on Iktomi's shoulders, now and then blink
ing blue winks. Did you ever see a birdie
blink blue wink? This is how It first be-
came a saying among the plains people
When a bird stands aloof watching your
slips quickly over his eyes and as quickly
