FARMERS GET MONEY.
Checks for wster Rights Turned
Over This Afternoon.

Farmers Of B,ayer creek were paid
the mop.y y for their water iights in
Canon City this afternoon and nearly
500. 600 was the amount raid out. -
far a. can be learned here. The
n-RotiAtioSa were clos some time
ago, the de-ds have been made out
and the abstracts approved. With
the payment Of she money tho water
Of twenty rights was transferred to
Thomas Devius Of Pueblo who 10
said to represent the Thatcher inter
ssts in Pueblo.
The water. ~ far ~ can ae learned
in this city. will be taken 10 Pueblo
and there used for several different
purposes but the city Of Pueblo gets
. portion Of It for domestic uss. The
pasing Of the rights from the farmers
means much money for the county
ct present but the loss Of the water
will Offset this in future.
Water rights on Beaver creek were
very valuable and sold for from els.
900 down to . few hundred. according
70 their dates. All the farmers along
the stream have sold their water to
Mr.. Devine with the exception Of
John r. Kelley and r. z. Porter.
The latter recently perfected title to
ono and one-haH cubic feet, making
four feet that he has. This ia the
same amount Of water that John r.
Pierce. another farmer had whom he
sold out recently foI $4,000. The
same parties have also secured most Of
tho water ON Beaver Park and this
will be taken to Pueblo also.
6inoe negotiations for the purchase
Of the water was opened several
months ago Mr.. Dsvine has made .
number Of trips to Chicago and it ia
believed that his business there had
something to do with the buying Of
the rights. The syndicate buying
