DEFENDANT WINS
Judge Cole Decides Detainer Case
 in Favor of Stephenson

In the unlawful detainor case of Pashgian against Stephenson was decided Wednesday morn- | ing by Judge Cole in. favor of the defendant.
 Pending the hearing of the case It was shown that the land at issue is in the strip commonly called excess land, for which there are no available numbers. It was impossible to make a fil- ing on the land, and some time since Mrs. Johnson posted noti- ces claiming the land. She spent $50 for grading and then gave quit-claim deed to the land to Pashgian for $500, and the latter posted notices and ad- vertised that he claimed the land. He also spent a small a. mount of money on the land, set up a tent and bought water stock for a portion of it. Dur ing the summer he made two ap- plications for the delivery of water to the land, but the ditch was not constructed, and the water could not then be deliver ed.
 s. P. Stephenson, believing the claim to the land was not valid and finding no one upon it, took possession of the tent, and suit was brought against him by Pashgian for unlawful detanor.
 Judge Cole held that Pashgian had not clearly established his possessory right to the land.
 The case will now be taken to the appellate court at Los An geles, and undoubtedly consider able light will be shed on the question of the legal aspect of the possessory rights to the un- surveyed strip which has been the basis of about all the land disputes in the valley.

A Warning

As the time for irrigating is at hand and the careless irrigator is apt to flood the public roads more or less, I wish to call the attention of the public to the fact that there is a strict law against the flooding of roads and that the road commissioner has received instructions to prosecute any and all offenders.

WANT TESTIMONY TAKEN.
Latest Move in the .Virginia-West
Virginia Controversy.

Counsel for the state of Virginia and the
state of West Virginia have submitted to
the Supreme Court of the United States
forms for an order providing for the ap-
pointment of a master to take testimony
in the case pending between those two
states as to the accountability of West
Virginia for a part of the debt of Virginia
which accrued before 1861, when West
Virginia was made a state from a part of
Virginia. The two documents differed
very materially as to the points on which
testimony shall be taken. Both agreed
upon the first requirement which was
that the amount of the public debt of Vir-
ginia on January 1, 1861 should be ascer-
tanned, and that 1t should be taken spe-
officially as to how and in what form this
debt was evidenced, and by what author
ity of law and for what purposes it was
created, together with the date and ma
ture of the bonds or other evidences of
the Indebtedness.
Virginia makes an especial request for
the ascertainment of the amount and pro-
portion of the Indebtedness which should
in equity be apportioned to and now be
paid by the state of West Virginia, while
West Virginia asks that particular atten-
ton be paid to the ordinary expenses of
the state government before 1851 and to
the receipts from the counties now in
GUIDED in West virginia.
The court will necessarily have to de-
eide between the two contentious and in
the end probably will draw an order of it's
own.
