Judge brenls Gives Sage Advice
to lliganls
QUEER SUIT over DISPUTED WELL
CONTESTANTS FOR POSSESSION
OF WATER ARE TOO MUCH
FOR THE COURT.

A most peculiar case has been on
!, trial in chambers before Judge Brents
yesterday afternoon and this morning.
The division of the water In a part
nership well on Eureka Flat is the
point in dispute but neither side
knows just what they want or what
sort of an agreement they made in
the first place.
Things were so mixed up that after
hearing the testimony the court
frankly advised the litigants that it
was almost impossible for him to set
tie it and that the thing they ought to do
was to stop quarreling and make a fair
settlement among themselves.
Shared the Well.
Mrs. Elizabeth Blanchard sold part
Of her land on Eureka fiat to one w.
R. Coons reserving the right to take
enough water out of we'll on the land
sold to irrigate her farm and water aer
stock besides enough for domestic
purposes.
The trouble came over the division
of the water Plaintiff hired one
Wareham and Small; Walla Walla
plumbers, to tap the pipe leading from
the we'll to defendants tank.
Defendant claimed that this was
done in the early morning because Of
fear of discovery by him and retaliat-
ed by disconnecting the pipe leading
to Mrs. Blanchard's cistern and stuff
ing it full of waste. Later ne recon-
nected it to the air chamber of the
we'll higher up.
She Grew Thirsty.
Plaintiff claimed that she had been
without water for som etime contrary
to agreement with defendant. That
this had caused her large expense for
hauling water.
Defendant said that she had always
access to the lower cisterns except for
stock belonging to transients.
The whole affair seems to have
hung on this point Coon runs hotel
and Mrs. Blanchard has Of late taken
in persons for nights lodging and
breakfast. These people Coon would
not let get water for their horses.
Coon asserted that his reason for
disconnecting the pipe was because as
constructed it would syphon out all
the water in his own tank, whenever
the pipe into the Blanchard cistern
was open.
Must Pump Together.
The court gave a little friendly adj
vice to both parties and their attor-
neys just before noon and counseled
them to settle the difficult question by
agreement, saying:
II don't know whether the court
can fix this case at all or not. The
parties could If they were in a proper
temper but each is selfish. am
afraid neither one of you will get
much water If you don't agree on some
way to pump it together. You will
have lots of trouble If you come to
the court every time to settle your
differences"
The parties litigant will probably en-
deavor to arrange some method of ad-
justing matters before continuing the
case.
