J. c. Joh.se" '"s.ess.

An inquest WAS held in the
Office OF Judge Russell last Satur-
day evening to inquire into the
cause OF death of J. c. Johnson.
the old gentleman who was killed
last Thursday night in Rocky
Ford, while attempting to alight
from tram No. 6o4. Trainmen
testified that the train. which was
late, was probably running at the
rate OF thirty FIVE miles an hour.
Johnson struck on his head and re
ceived injuries from which he died
a few hours after the accident. J..
E, Johnson, OF Rocky Ford, and
|. II. Johnson, OF West Creek,
Colo, son OF the deceased gentle
man. were present at the inquest.
which was not concluded until
a o'clock Sunday morning. The
jury returned verdict exonerating
the railroad company from all
blame. Deceased was aged ~
years, months and 7 days st
the time OF his death. The re
mains were taken to Rocky Ford
Monday for burial, the funeral
taking place at the Presbyterian
church in that city.

his opinion as to the legality OF the
proposed transfer. His opinion
was adverse, being to the effect
tha, the city had no more right to
sell the water options than they
bad to sell the city hall, and that
the sale could not be legally effect
ed without vote OF the people.
The options are held in trust for
the city by X. Phillips, and Mr.
McCreery claims that the only
transfer that can be legally made
for the city by the trustee is to the
Otero canal, which, he alleges.
was the beneficiary in the hrst
instance.
Mr.. McCreery's opinion seems
TO make the legality Of the original
purchase OF the water rights very
questionable, as MIR. Reeds opin-
ion says very explicitly that ga
city is powerless to aid a purely
private enterprise as distinguished
from a public enterprise. and the
fact that the city will derive an
advantage from the private enter
prise does not alter the rule"

time on the water right option

and deep for the ordinary mortal
to fathom.

The proposed sale OF the water
options IS like the city water since
the recent raise in the river more
than ever and as clear as
mud. The committee of citizens
which has been negotiating for the
purchase Of the options for the use
and benefit Of the Otero canal had
q conference with the directors of
the Catlin Canal Company one
day last week, The city council
recently sold the options to the
Catlin people for S44Ia, and $50
Of this amount was paid down to
bind the transfer. The Catlin
people are willing to sell the op
tions to the Otero, but insist that
the transfer in the first instance
be made BY the city to the Catlin
and subsequently, by them to the
Otero.
The committee Of citizens took
this matter under sdvisement.
They sent for James w. McCreery,
Of Greeley. conceded to be one Of
the best irrigation lawyers in the
state, for the purpose Of securing
