BERRY AT THROTTLE.
What the Denver Post Says of the En-
gineeF Candidate for Sheriff.

What the Denver Post Says Of the En-
gineer Candidate for Sheriff.
From Denver Post
No one looking into the clear, frank
eyes and nOtingf the smooth, round,
boyish face Of joseph H. Berry would
imagine that the democratic candidate
for sheriff Of Denver county had seTy-
ed tWenty-seven years as a locomotive
engineer, and most Of those years at
the throttle Of a passenger engine. Yet
such is the fact
In point Of service, Mr.. Berry is one
Of the pioneer engineers Of Denver. He
brought the first Rock Island paSSen-
ger train into this city and is now one
Of the most trusted employees Of that
great system.
During practically his entire resi-
dence in Denver Mr.. Berry has lived
in the Eleventh ward, and has been a
leader Of the democrats Of that sec
ton OF the city. Two years ago last
spring he was elected alderman from
the Eleventh ward on the Speer demo-
cratic ticket From the beginning he
refused to support the mayors cor
pOration program. and as a result he
was placed under the ban by the men
who conduct affairs at the city hall.
Despite this fact however, he was ten
dered and refused a denomination on
Speer's ticket last spring. He stood as
an Independent candidate and polled
a remarkable vote.
He is an excellent campaigner, and
is especially strong among the mem
berS Of organized labor. He has car
red his card for more than a quar-
ter OF a century, and during all that
time has commanded the confidence
OF his fellow wOrkmen and the respect
OF his employers.
Most men when they are elected
aldermen abandon their usual vOca-
tons. They depend upon the graft"
to meet their enlarged expenses. Mr..
Berry during the two years he spent
at the city hall pulled out his engine
regularly, except when public business
demanded a layof-

There is another, and entirely dis

parties concerning the attempt by

The decree of the lower court,
therefore, should be reversed and
the cause remanded with instruc-

Upon motion of Spencer and

After defendants appropriation

they cannot even by grant. confer
upon plaintiff the right to use 1t, or
any OF 1t as against the superior
claims of other appropriations from
the same stream. By mere acquies-

their lands they have not estopped
themselves thereafter to intercept
and make beneficial use of it before
it escapes from their control And
If such further use may be restrained
by another appropriation from the
same source of supply, plaintiff can
not assert any such equity.
The plaintiff makes the point, how
gun the defendants had sold their
adjoining tract of land and conse-
quently have lost their rights TO any
surplus or waste water that might
be intercepted upon the same before
it reaches the hands of plaintiff. If
such sale was made we do not see
how plaintiffs position is thereby
strengthened. Defendants did make
conditional sale of their land be-
fore suit was brought, but no con-
veyance thereof was made and will
not be until the conditions of the
sale are fully performed by the ven-
dee. With that the plaintiff has no
concern. But II "A sale and convey
ance Were so made, the rights of de-
tendant'- rendts % this Surplus or
waste water are paramount to the
rights of plaintiff for the reasons
hereinabove given and the record
shows that the interception and use

consent. Since, therefore, plaintiff
has not, as against defendants,
made n valid appropriation of this
so-called waste water or water
which by surface drainage might II
not intercepted by them reach her
lands, but on the contrary, as be-
tween the parties hereto. the supe-
rior right TO its Use when collected
upon the lands OF the defendants,
and before ii reaches her lands be
longs to them, the decree of the
lower court awarding the prior
right to the plaintiff cannot stand.
No case has been called to our at
tention by counsel and we have
found none in which the important
question here discussed has been de
cided, but upon general principles
we think the conclusion reached is
sound. The case most nearly in
point is Fairplay Hydraulic Mfg. Co.
V. Weston, - COO. l25. There the
defendant mining company had ac-
-, Inv 81 ton ha -i,rl,

purposes. subsequently the plain
tiff's grantor Went upon the placer
ground and below the fiume and
dump of the placer mine constructed
n ditch into which the water, after
it had been fully utilized 10y the
defendant for placer purposes and
before II had reached the natural
stream. was diverted and used by
plaintiff and his grantors to irrigute
agricultural lands. While the de
fcndant acQuicsced in this action of
the plaintiff and his grantor. ii did
SO with the understanding that they
should not assert, as against the de
fendant. any legal right thereto. or
in any way interfere with the oper-
alton of the placer. At a still later
date the defendant turned large
volume of water into its ditch and
so used II in placer mining that il
fouled the water at the point where
the plaintiff had diverted the flow
for the purpose of irrigation. The
court held that the plaintiff was not
entitled to any relief as against this
last act of defendant. because plain
tiff and his grantor must be consid-
cred mere licensees and acquired no
such rights to the use of water as
