they had stopped TO wait till Burchard
inhaled some medicine for his asthma,
when Winship and his companions
came along and that they simply asked
them to come back for the tank the
next day. Several witnesses for the
state swore that a number of buckskin
and brown ponies were among the
horses on the Dewey ranch, indicating
the intention of the state to advance
the theory that some of the Deweys
rode over to the timber on the day that
Sheriff Durham was at Alpheus' to

In fact, every piece of evidence given

pointed a gun at any of them. Roy
said he had never seen Daniel Berry

UNCLE SANS HAND.
He Shows It in Kansas Colorado
Litigation.

Washington. March 15.-In the United
States supreme court Solicitor General
Hoyt moved for leave to file a petition
to intervene in the case of state of Kan
sas against the state of Colorado and a
number of irrigation companies of the
latter state to restrain them from TAX
ing water out of the Arkansas river
which rises in Colorado and flows
through Kansas. He said that the gov
eminent takes exception to the conten-
ton Of each of the states and desires
to intervene because of the possible eff
feet of the decision on the operation of
the reclamation act.
Attorney Rogers of Denver moved to
dismiss the case so far as it applies to
individual corporations.
The attorneys on both sides of the
Kansas Colorado litigation have been
notified that the federal government
proposes to take hand in the matter.
1t opposes some of the contentious of
both states, fearful lest a decision for
either state would interfere with the
governments control of irrigation mat
tiers.
