OLD WAR
VETERAN

Daniel w. Butler of Coleville died
at his home in that village last Satur-
day morning. The direct ailment re-
sulting in his death was paralysis, but
having attained the ripe old age of rs
it would seem that this fact attributed
somewhat to the cause of his demise
He was the father of Mrs. Ed. Dono-
van, who resides at the Mountain
House. He was born in Illinois and
while yet young man engaged him.
selfin tn service of the government in
order to assist in the quelling of the
Indian uprisings. At the conclusion
of these disturbances he settled in
Washington and lived there until two
years ago when, at the solicitation OF
his daughter, he moved to Coleville.
The funeral took place from his late
residence on Sunday afternoon and
the interment was in the Coleville
cemetery.

EAsTERDULY OBSERVED

Easter Sunday was fittingly observ-
ed at both the Methodist and Luther
an churches.
The services were held at the Luth-
eran church on Sunday morning. A
splendid program had been arranged
and was admirably rendered. The
principal participants in the exercises
were the children and in anticipation
of the event they practiced long and
faithfully.
At the Methodist church the serv-
ices were held in the evening and the
program as published in our last issue
was rendered The children acquitted
themselves exceptionally well, much
TO the delight of the large audience.
All in all the different services held
on that day very fittingly commemor-
ated the anniversary of the immortal
ity of our Savior.

VS..
ALPINE co.

The Eighth Circuit Court ofthe Unit
ed States has decided in the case of
Hogs VS.. Eaton to the effect that ''the
right to divert water for irrigation in
an arid country is not controlled or
affected by political divisions 1t is
the same in all States through which
the stream SO diverted may pass.n
"An appropriation of water in the
state of Wyoming from a stream
which rises in Colorado for irrigating
lands in Wyoming is valid as against
subsequent appropriation in Colora-
do from the same stream for irrigat-
ing lands in Colorado
So, applying the foregoing decision
TO the case of John Anderson and
others against Henry Bassman and
others, comprising farmers living on
the West Fork of the Carson river in
Douglas County, Nevada, as plain
tiffs, and against the farmers living in
Alpine County, California, as defend
ants, and using the same waters, be-
ing subsequent appropriations, the
fact that they live in different State
does not help them, according to the
foregoing decision. There is no pol
itical division in such matters. One of
the strongest defenses put up by de-
PENDANTS was the fact that the SHOWS
fell in Alpine county, and melted in
that county, and defendants had the
right to divert it. The decision in the
case cited destroys that argument.
The remaining question in the big
suit is whethr the law of California or
the law of Nevada applies to the case

Dives WILL BE CLOSED.

The United States has at last step
ped in with view of closing the hell
holes, dives and saloons that have
flourished along the line of the gov
ernment canal in Nevada during con-
struction for the past two years. Yes
terday United States District Attorn-
ey Summerfield took the first step in
that direction. He has drawn up a
large number of complaints princi-
pally OF offenders in the town of Ha-
zen, where the government headquar
ters are now established. In the COM
plant it is urged that the saloons in
direct defiance of the United Estates
laws are located on land that has been
withdrawn from entry. The complaint
also sets forth that the liquor houses
are direct menace to the work, being
carried on by the government, as we'll
as detrimental to the men employed.
The result of this action will effect
about fifty saloons located at Derby,
Camp Six, Hazen and other camps
along the line. The contractors in
one or two instances are also conduct
ing saloons at the camps. These re-
sorts have proven veritable mints for
their owners and are held directly re-
sponsible for the numerous robberies,
assaults and murders that have been
committed in this section of Nevada
during the past two years.
1t is said that the government has
the law on its side and the effort to
close the saloons will undoubtedly be
successful. ul.-Journal.

BILL And JOE
DO A stunt

For short time Sunday afternoon
there was considerable excitement in
in the lower end of town.
Bill and Joe, two knights ofthe dus-
ty road, came to town, filled up on
whiskey and started in search of trou-
ble Bill found it first. A local cele-
brity bears the monument of this dis
covery on his nasal appendage. But,
alas for Wiiliam His early success fl
led him up with the idea that as an ex-
ponent of the manly art of self defense
he was without peer. Joe attempted
TO argue the matter with his misguided
friend and in the events Immediately
following the proprietor took a hand.
Exit Willie in a confused heapof arms,
legs and cigarette papers. Ditto, Joe.
The latter gent was very much incens-
ed over his unjust treatment and ex-
pressed himself TO that effect in no un-
certain terms. Unfortunately this ex-
ercise of one of his privileges as an
American citizen proved Objectionable
to Constable Carr and very soon Joseph
was booked for nights lodging at the
expense of the town. AS the mourn
ful cavalcade moved up the street Bill
was heard to exelaim, "lf he takes Joe
he's got to take me too" How he car
ried out his threat will follow. When
the constable was well out of sight, Bill
proceeded across the street and issued
a sweeping challenge to any of the by
standers for a trial to finish with the
padded mits. Finding his defy. unac-
epted he sarcastically abused the crowd
for its lack of courage. Again the arm
of the law was thrust toward and the
gladiator was given two minutes to
make himself scarce Barely half of
the allotted grace had slipped away
when a nearby saloon was graced with
the presence of the bright fistic lumi
nary. Shortly after very picturesque
expletive floated out followed immed-
lately by dull thud and then-Bill.
The manner of this exit was sim liar to
his previous one in the same proportion
that the passage of a cannon ball re-
sembles the movements of a deceased
hog being dragged from the scene of
its demise to the butchers block. Very
soon he was on his way to join Joe in
the home of the transgressor, but his
method of loeomotion to that noted
mansion differed widely from the man
ner of his erstwhile friend Being
oil very refined nature, William de-
eided he would have a carriage; hence
he feigned much WEAKNESS of limb and
the minion of the law, out of compass
sion, called Mack Bros delivery cart
into service. Again was our hero
treated after the manner of the afor-
said swine, but he reached his chosen
resting place according to his wishes.

BUSINESS men
SHOULD ACT

There is much that can be said re-
garding the proposed extension of the
V. & T. railroad up through Carson
valley. 1t has been common rumor
for some time that the railroad would
be built, in fact the matter of survey
ing the proposed route has been ac-
complished and that is always the
first step in the building of a railroad.
But in the face af all this there is al
ways the possibility that deal may
be effected between the Southern
Pacific and the V. & T. railroad COM
panies, whereby the smaller corpora
ton may be absorbed by the larger
one. In this event, of course, any
chance of a railroad up through this
Valley is eliminated for an indefinite
length of time.
However, let us not consider this
possibility, but rather take the other
view of the mater. To begin with,
will the road, if built, pass through
Gardnerville? That seems to be the
question that should most directly
concern the people of this town. There
can be no denying the fact that
should the line not pass through here,
Douglas county will have new
metropolis. Thus far there has been
no definate steps taken to prevent
such state of affairs. Again, now
that ID. o. Mills has made the assert
ion that he will extend the V. & II. to
Stockton and there connect with the
great Santa Fe, the possibility is that
he will cross the Sierras by way
of Carson valley. This fact should
further impress upon the people of
this town the necessity of combined
and immediate effort toward bringing
the road through here. There is no
particular advantage to be gained by
the V. & T. people in building through
Gardnerville, but it would certainly
be death blow to the town and a
consequent loss to her citizens if she
were left off the line entirely.
i Gardnerville's citizens have entirely
ignored this important phaze of the
question, or else they believe it to be
so remote possibility as not to be
worthy of due consideration. Be that
as it may, in our humble opinion al
least, it behooves the people in thii
neighborhood to wake up and little
more closely observe that old adage
II stitch in time saves nine"
The Record-courier. [volume] (Gardnerville, Nev.) 1904-current, 1905-04-28

Under the California law non-riparian
appropriations can obtain no rights
whatever except by prescription.
Under Nevada decisions, the first in
time of appropriation is first in right.
Plaintiffs contend that they are first in
time of appropriation, and that they
are riparian owners besides. If de-
PENDANTS cannot show that they pre-.
scribed against plaintiffs, by using the
water adversely, continuously, openly,
notoriously and as matter of right
against plaintiffs for five years, il
would seem that they have the worst
of it.
However, the Court will settle that
question upon the facts elected by
the testimony, of which there is over
800 pages, for Judge Morrow to read.
and he has not read line yet, SO fan
as known.
The riparian defendants occupy a
much better position than the non.
riparian defendants. Under the law
of California, which it is believed will
govern, they are entitled to make a
reasonable use of the waters of the
West Fork and Carson river, and that
includes irrigation. However, if the
decision should be granting the ripa.
rian owners in Alpine the right tc
make reasonable use of said waters
the plaintiffs will still have attained
their object, because they would not
have brought suit at all but for the
diversion of water to non-ripariar
lands

Alpine Has a Bright Future

John Ellis of MarKleeville, spent
few days in town this week. In
speaking of the future of Alpine coun-
ty, Mr.. Ellis says that the outlook is
very bright. The mine will in all
probability be worked on large scale
this summer, and with the prospect of
a railroad to tap the rich timber belts
will undoubtedly make Markleeville
one of the best towns in this section.
He also states that the citizens of that
burg are figuring on installing an
acetyline gas plant to furnish the
town with lights

Judge EzeII Seriously III.

L. S. Ezell lies seriously i'll at his
home in Gardnerville. He was afflict-
ed little over week ago and grew
rapidly worse until at consultation
of the attending physicians on Tues
day but small hope was held out for
his recovery. Since then there has
been slight improvement in his con-
dition, but he is still very sick man,
and because of his advanced age the
question of his recovery still remains
one of very serious doubt. However,
all that medical science and loving
care can do is being done and he may
yet regain his health.
