INTERESTING WATER SUIT
Contract as to Distribution of Water
From the san Leonardo, Las Tram
pas and Sarco Greeks Held to
Be iaId.

The suit of Las Acequas del Vale
against Las Acequias de Las Trampas,
Las Acequias del Vallecito and La
Ace.quia del Ojo Sarco, was brought by
the plaintiff to compel specific perform
|ance Of a contrAy rered into between
all the psarties q: the 18th OF July,
1895. At this vA-l, a suit was pend
ing in the District Court for Taos
County to determine respective water
rights, and in order to reach an amic-
able settlement of the contention, the
agreement was made, which provided
that the Oio Sarco people were EMIT
led to all the water of the San Leon
ardo Creek, a continent of Las Tram
pas River, and that the Las Trampas
people were entitled to all the water
of the Las Trampas River after the
deduction therefrom, by division box,
of the amount of water entering the
Las Trampas River from the San Leon
ardo Creek, and its passage to the Ojo
Sarco Acequia. On the 29th of April
1904, the commissioners Of acequias of
the several bitches parties held q
meeting pretendedly pursuant to chap
ter / 5 of the laws of 1903 and made a
division of the water of the two
streams, in effect different from that
provided for by the contract Their
authority to do so was an issue. The
plaintiff alleged that the Ojo Sarco
commissioners convention for the rea
son that they did not belong to the
same precinct with the other ditch
commissioners. The defendants al
legged that the town of Vale was in
the county of Rio Arriba and not in
the county of Taos, where the plaintiff
alleged it to be and where it has been
recognized to be since 1852. The court
found that. so far as the evidence
showed, Vale was in Taos County, al
though there is dispute as to the pre-
else position of the boundary line be-
tween Taos and Rio Arriba Counties.
1t also found that the law of 1903 does
not authorize ditch commissioners, in
the so-called conventions provided for
by that statute, to make an arbitrary
disposition or reapportionment OF wat
er but that their power simply extends
to a determination of water rights as
they exist, without conceding to them
any authority to modify, or alter ir
any way existing priorities. This lat
ter determination is very important fol
the reason that it fixes a rule in this
district for the guidance of the ditch
commissioners in convention, under
the laws aforesaid and takes away the
authority which they have assumed OF
dividing the water according to theil
own arbitrary discretion.
The court upheld the contract and
decreed its specific performance sc
long as it is not abrogated by judicia
decree.

When young, Chase learned the car
penter's trade and worked at it for
many years. Later he became a farm
er, stockman and merchant in turn. He
is man of considerable means, own
ing a large tract of land as well as a
large part of the business part of Hoyt,
Kan, where he resides. He is identi-
fed with many business interests which
makes him peculiarly qualified to- fill
the office of railroad commissioner, for
which Office he has been nominated by
the Democrats and Populists of the
state.
Mr.. Chase. together with w. L. Fer
guson, was selected by the Democrats
on the recommendation of the Fedora
ted Commercial interests of the state
and will receive their hearty support.
The fact that the Republican conven-
ton was requested to name three men
on their ticket for railroad commits
sioners who were recommended by the
federation and that they failed to name
but one member, goes far to line up
these powerful influences for Mr.. Chase
and Mr.. Ferguson. The federation is
a non-partisan organization working
in the interests of the merchant, the
shipper and the farmers of the state.

: WHISKY WAR.
The Trust Seems Intent ON Extermi-
mating the Independents.

Peoria, Ill, Nov. 5.-A sensation
was created this morning when it was
announced that the basing price of
whisky had again dropped from S1.24
to S1.23. a drop by successive stages
of five cents in about two months. The
continued dropping of the market has
created a sensation in the ranks of the
independents who are convinced that
the trust has begun a war of exterrni-
nation.
The usual basing price is around
$3.50. When, therefore, it drops so
low as the present figure it usually
presages a bitter war. Whisky men
are reticent as to details. giving the
reason as strong competition.
For some time past the war for
business between the trust houses in
this city and the three Independents
Woolner & Co, Corning & Co. and
Clark Brothers &, Co. has been par
ticularly active. The fight has been
carried on between the independents
as individuals and collectively against
the trust.
Well informed whisky men are of
the opinion that the war has just be-
gun and that the price may go still
lower All the local houses are run
ming at full capacity. grinding nearly
100000 bushels of corn per day.

FOUND THE TRAIL.
Wyoming Officers Have Again Locat-
ed the Cody Bandits.

Denver, Nov. 5.-A dispatch to the
Republican from Deranch, Wyo., says:
Sheriff Slough of Fremont county
and Sheriff Fenton and posse of Big
down, having found the trail of the
Cody bandits again and followed it in
to the very heart of the bad lands.
They are now not more than ten miles
behind the outlaws. Reliable informa-
ton has been received here that the
bandits have taken refuge at the ranch
house of sympathiZer near the no
toriouS Hole-in the Wall rendezvous,
know that the officers have followed
this far. Sheriff F'enton who is direct
ing the movement against the desper-
ADDE'S has asked for reinforcement from
Casper 100 miles southeast of here and
a telephone message was received stat
ing that Sheriff Webb and large
posse had started for the scene. Fen
ton and his men will do a little scout
ing quietly to see that the outlaws dc
not leave their hiding place before
Weeb and his party arrives. Should
the outlaws become alarmed and at
tempt to leave the country Sheriff
Cabin or one of the smaller stations
on the telephone line and an effort will
be made to intercept the bandits at the
eastern exit of the Hole-in-the-Wall.
should the robbers attempt to double
back on their trail and escape by the
only other exit from the Hole the route
they followed in entering the rendez-
vous they will be attacked by Fenton
and his party near this place.
A bloody battle is certain to occur
during the next sc hours, either at the
western or eastern exit of the hole or
in the vicinity of the present hiding
place of the outlaws. Should the ban
dts remain in ignorance of the plans
to bottle them up in the rendezvous,
then the fight will occur at the ranch
home of their friend, for the two pos
SEES from the east and west will COM
bine forces as soon as Webb arrives
and close in on the bandits at once.
The officers here are completely worn
out, but they are anxious for the fight.
They will get almost "a hours rest,
however, if present plans carry and
will be in prime shape for the battle
when Webb arrives.
