LINEVITCH.-

Keep still and you are safe, but
move or make noise and you must
take the consequences. It's up to
you. - This is the admonition which
greeted d. o Berto about $50 Monday
evening when he entered his saloon
after standing in front for some min
utes watching the Rio Grande tain
come in.
The man was tall and wore mask
and he convinced O Berto of his
earnestness by waving in front of his
face revolver which the frightened
proprietor says look bigger'n can
non. "All right, said o Berto,
''help yourself and hurry up and
the fellow acted upon his suggestion
by removing the contents of the cash
register about Sl25 in silver and
bills. Then he searched O'Berto 8
clothes and found a small purse the
contents of which-about so he
also appropriated spurning good
watch carried by his victim and an
other which lay in the cash register.
Then backing to the front door the
robber shouted to pal who had been
keeping watch at the rear door.
"Tve got it all right, 'and the two
made hasty retreat south on Blake
avenue The officers were at once
summoned but they could find no clue
to the holdups and none has yet been
discovered.
About half an hour before the hold
up woman entered the saloon and
asked Mrs. o. Berto to change "A five
dollar bill, which she did, and in
doing so displayed to the gaze of the
woman the money in the till. II was
also noticed that man who stood on
the opposite side of the room was
watching the transaction with more
than ordinary interest but nothing
was thought of this at the time. 1t
is now believed that the man was one
of the two who committed the robbery
and that the woman was an accom-
plice.

To Prevent BIiqht

j. F. Myser, horticultural inspector
for Garfield county has issued from
the Post printery neat little booklet
entitled The Cause and Prevention
of Pear and Apple Tree Blight
which should meet with ready sale
among horticuturists of this and
other states. Mr.. Myser has made a
very exhaustive study of blight and
claims it is result of certain condi-
tions which should and may be known
and understood by all fruit growers
everywhere. SO positive is he that
he is correct and has the proper solu-
tion of the blight problem that he re-
Gently undertook to produce blight in
a pear tree, leaving the success of his
experiments to committee of fruit
growers.
Although the conditions of weather
were far from favorable to the pro-
duction of blight, the committee
found the tree thoroughly blighted
after Mr. Myser had concluded his ex-
periments. 1t is the, knowledge of
what causes blight which enabled Mr..
Myser to blight the tree and this
knowledge he claims will enable
anyone to prevent his trees from
blighting Mr.. Myser offers his book
for sale at the modest price of one
dollar each.

An Important Decision

In the district court last Tuesday
Judge Shumate rendered decision in
the injunction suit of Hammerich ct
al versus Isola et al which it is be
lieVed will nut an end to the contro
versy which has long existed between
the early appropriations on Four Mile
creek
As heretofore stated exclusively in
the Post, Isola and Rohwer We're the
owners of the first priority from Four
Mile creek to 3 . second feet but up to
two years ago had only enough land
under cultivation to entitle them tc
about half that amount of water in
the dry part of the season
About two years ago they cleared and
by means of an inverted siphon put
water on sufficient additional land to
allow them to claim almost the full
amount of water designated in their
decreee. They callded for the water
which was given them by the water
commissioner and then the plaintiffs
sought and obtained temporary in
junction restraining the commissi onei
from giving Rohwer in excess of the

Old Pioneer Goes Over the Range

The news reached Glenwood early
this week of the death in Germany on
July 12th. of Hans G. Hammerich,
one of the pioneers of Garfield county.
Mr.. Hammerich had been ailing for
several months with what the doctors
pronounced cancer of the stomach and
he visited his old home in the hope
that the disease might be checked but
European physicians long since
abandoned all hope of success and the
news of his demise was by no means
unexpected.
Mr.. Hammerich was the owner of
the splendid Hammerich ranch in
Four Mile park where three sons sur
vive him, William, John and George
aged sixteen, fourteen and seven years.
f. E. Drach has been appointed ex-
ecutor of the estate.

SECTION MEN OUT
ON RIO GRANDE
Many Have 0beyed Order---Their
Places Quickly Filled

1t is said that strike of all section
men and track walkers over the Rio
Gande system is in force, but one
would not suspect it to see the i'm
mense amount of travel, and the regu
larity with which all trains are run
ming. The strike was called by the
International Brotherhood of Way
Employees and was supposed to include
every section foreman, section man
and trackwalker on The entire system
The most of the section men went
out but whether they will remain ont
is another thing. Very few of the
foremen have quit and it is believed
this class will generally remain with
the road.
The management has kindly offered
to transport the men with their fam
lilies and household goods to any
point on the line but many of the m
have declined this Offer. The men
are being paid off in full as fast as
possible and the officials say those
who do not care to return to work
now will not be given employment in
any capacity after the stike is over
The places of the strikers are being
filled by others and no serious incon-
venience has resulted.

SPRINGS. SATURDAY. 1906

The contention of the plaintiffs was
that defendants had no right to the
excess water over and above what they
had used for a number of years and
the amount decreed to them by the
court over 20 years ago: that they had
not used reasonable diligence in bring
ing the remainder of their land under
cultivation and had therefore failed
to make valid appropriation of the
excess of rs second feet while plain
tiffs had used this water for years and
had therefore acquired a prior and
vested right which defendants could
not now come in and disturb
Defendants set up that they put
their additional land under cultivation
and irrigation at an expense of ~, 600 :;
that they did it with full knowledge
and in PLAIN sight of plaintiffs who
offered no objections unit after de-
PENDANTS had applied the water to this
additional land by which act they
claim to have completed and ripened
their decree.
The Court dismissed the action at
the COS: of the plaintiffs saying as he
did so that to sustain the plaintiffs in
their contention would be to cause in
terminable trouble and endless liti-

try. Ed. I. Taylor represented defend
