MORE DELAY.


By an agreement of the attor-
neys on both sides, the "ditch
cases." those cases where the
farmers in the Cheyenne bottoms
are entering suit to get value re-
ceiyed for their lands In the Chey-
enne bottoms condemned by the
Lake Co.-were all continued un-
til the next term of the district
court.
We hardly understand why the
attorneys for the farmers would
agree to a continuance, Or why
the ditch people would want a
continuance if they are intending
to turn the water into the bot
toms. The longer these cases
are delayed the harder it will be
to make settlement, and certain
" the good of the country de-
mands that settlement be made
as soon as possible. The farm
ers whose land has been con-
demned at an outrageously low
valuation are justified in making
their protest in the courts; the
law and the courts are created
for just the purpose of prevent
ing unfair treatment between
man and manor man and cor
poration if you please. If the
lands under dispute are con-
demned at a too low value, let a
| jury of twelve disinterested men
pass upon it, and fix a proper
| value. II the ditch company is
seeking to bulldoze or rob the
Cheyenne farmers of their Just
rights they have not public SEN
timent with them, and the law
should not assist them.
In a talk Wednesday with Mr..
Jacob Klein, who is one of the
farmers most deeply interested,
he stated that he and the rest of
the farmers are ready aud willing
to settle on a reasonable basis
at any time; that SO far nothing
in reason had been offered them
and they were determined to
fight to the last minute for what
they believed to be their rights.
And we cannot blame them.
They admit that if a large lake
is created and maintained there
it would be a great public bene-
fit; but they do not feel that they
should be unfairly treated in the
matter by having lands that are
worth from $500 to $500 a
quarter section per year, for
pasture, hay land ETC., taken
from them for the paltry sum Of
$50 to 500 a quarter.
There are two sides to all
questions, and the farmers side
is of as much Importance to him
as is the other side to the ditch
company.

Hon. Wo0Iley's Lecture.

The lecture delivered Saturday even
ing by Hon. John G. Wooley, of
Chicago, at the Grand opera house, was
interesting and instructive. The audi
ence was small, nevertheless the speak
er followed his subject closely and sac
ceeded in impressing his auditors, with
the result that he was listened to intent
ly from start to finish.
His subject, MY Own Country" was
broad enough to cover many lines of
thought, and all of which Mr.. Woolley
entered upon were treated in a mastery
manner He told some plain truths,
not only of the state in political way,
but OF the ministry as well. 1t is to be
regretted that more of our townspeople
did not avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity to hear the distinguished orator.
