The men started east, following the river, and

last hope of saving his life was frustrated when
the supreme court last month declined to grant
him new trial for particularly atrocious
murder, and the governor declined to interfere.
This is the second time Hardee has effected

WATER RIGHrs pEC1sroN.

At recent decision Of the district court Judge
Tattan banded down decision in the water
right suit Of Robert Abel and others vs. George
Clanton and others, suit involving numerous
water rights claimed by some sixteen persons
These rights are on Beaver creek, stream head
Ing In the Bearpaw mountains, and dependent
for its supply OF water upon melting SHOWS and
rains. The decision gives preference to the
plaintiffs and finds that their appropriations are
prior to those Of the defendants; 1t also restraints
the defendants from interfering with the use Of
the water by the plaintiffs until the plaintiffs
have received the amount their respective hold
ings of land entitle them to receive.
The decision recognizes the fact that the water
supply IN the stream is uncertain as to amount
and time Of availability, and that it is there
fore necessary to use a system Of irrigation
known as flooding that is, the construction of
dams that throw all the water out of the strean,
and over the land to be irrigated while the
water is available, and the retaining Of it on
the land by means of dikes.
1t, is probable that the construction of the
great reservoir contemplated by the government
in the Milk river valley will change the situa-
ton materially as to the lands involved in this
decision.
