WATER RIGHTS DECIDED.
Supreme Court Holds That D;fCf
Companies Cannot Shut off /
.,... . Water.

The Capital News says: The su,
preme court holds that water com.
pany cannot shut off the water
supplied to an individual until ar.
rearages are paid, but that its rem
edy is by suit7at law to collect the
amount due. .,.. ..s.E
This opinion is given by Chief
Justice Stockslager and cohcurred
in by Justices Ailshie and Sullivan
and reverses Judge Stewart in the
case of P. P. Shelby vs.. the Farm
ers' Cooperative Ditch Company.
The evidence shows that Shelby
was the owner of a right to $40
inches of water of the ditch COM
pany and was subject to pay pro
rata share for operating and main
tenance expenses. Shelby disputed
bill for $2I2 as his share of the
expenses of the company. for 1908
alleging it to be gross overcharge,
but reporting his willingness to pay
a reasonable amount. He applied
tor an injunction to restrain the
company from shutting off the
water from his lands. The lower
court refused to grant the iniunc~
ton, which is reversed by the su-
preme court, the issue of law being
stated as follows in the syllabus:
IF such canal or ditch company
or person iails to require such pay
ment or security therefor, and does
furnish any of the users of the water
OF such canal or ditch with water
tor any purpose, the remedy is by
suit at law to enforce such payment
and not by rule or regulation refus-
ing to furnish water until such ar
rearages are paid" ;"

The Adjourned
Inquest
CHAPTER vi.

THERE was an atmosphere of subdued activity,
of hushed expectancy, in and about Arnclife
Hall. Near the main entrance little groups
of villagers discussed the situation in whispers
listened, open-mouthed, to the astounding theories
of local oracles; and every minute swelled the
number of morbid curiosity-1nongers, for twelve
good men and true to inquire into the cir
cumstances surrounding Lord Arnciffe's death.
Harry Warren, indeed, made strenuous efforts to
disperse the crowds that invaded the sacred pre-
cincts of the Hall. Nevertheless, though tenants
to whom quarter-day a period of humiliation
and prayer shrank before the fury of the dreaded
agent they only skunk away from spot to gather
thickly in another.
Joshua Perkins, cobbler and village hampden,
IN small degree responsible for this contumacy.
He pointed out that at open court the rights of
ali were equal; and his spirited references to the
wealthy drones who passed their time lolling in
carriages received the usual enthusiastic approval
of certain gentlemen who passed their time loling
IN public-houses.
As matter-of fact, the question of admitting
the general public, distinct from any local mag
mates who might choose to be present, had already
been decided by P. c. Fox, who, sole represent
ative of law and order in Arncliffe, naturally had
charge of such arrangements. This intelligent
officer realized that the circumstance of the inquest
being held the Hall called for the exercise of
discretion and he had made up his mind to exclude
all who did not attain to a certain standard of
respectability What that standard it is not
necessary to mention, but it not unconnected
with desire on the part of P. c. Fox to lay up
honorable competency for his declining years.
The inquest, adjourned a week previously, after
the hearing of formal evidence of identification was
the inevitable corollary of the post-mortem exam
ination-an examination from which DR.. Smalley,
whose presence had been invited a matter of
professional courtesy, emerged nervous and crest
fallen, while Lester and Sir Henry Mathieson
hibited IN contradlstnction, the bland, decorously
cheerful satisfaction of the scientist who has lighted
upon an unusually interesting exhibition of some
rare phenomenon which he thoroughly understands.

No, sir. not then"
Has Miss Holt appeared to be upset at any time

The Home Office expert stepped forward, the en-

CARDS poor human clay as a adjunct of the
laboratory. Meanwhile, Brading, the officer sent
down by the Scotland Yard authorities, slipped
quietly out of the room, taking Angler with him.
He did not return until the evidence of the expert

Il don't know" said Sir Henry b1untly. Il
found altogether twelve grains OF arsenous acid IN
the abdominal viscera and of that quantity the
stomach contained nearly two grains which were
unabsorbed and doubt had been recently admin
stered In addition there rather more than
four grains in the BRAIN and the latter fact proves
conclusively that considerable time elapsed
between the first and the last doses.
Arsenic is a cumulative poison, IS it not!

SUGGESTIONS TO sPESDERS.

But few days are left in which
to do your Christmas shopping and
the last Of this small number OF
days will find the stocks depleted
and clerks rushed almost to death.
II you have not yet done your buy
ing you'll wish you had if it is
put off much longer. Better get
at ii now.
1t is to your interest and to the
interest of those you buy for and
those you buy FROM, consequently
best for your town and all con.
cerned that you shop as early az
possible and spend your money
right here at home while you can
get full satisfaction for every
dollar.
Don't complain of your inability
to get just what you want mere AZ
home If you put off your buying
until all the stocks have been pick
ed over, and don't get an idea that
you will fare better in any other
town for you will not. Their own
loyal residents will have picked
over the stocks there, too, just the
same as our people do here.
Buy early and buy at home.
The other fellow does and builds
up his town, if you don't stay by
your home people who will? Not
the other fellow from off yonder,
for he is long headed enough to
see that it pays TO trade at home
where he makes his money, and
that by so doing he benefits him
