CASE IS IMPORTANT
Temporary Injunction Granted
in Water Suit.

Judge Garrigues last Monday
granted a temporary injunction to
Ralph Meeker, ". A. lnsinger, j. G.
Graham, J. W. Ewing, Robert Boyd,
Robert Steele, Il. N. Green. A. L.
Mumper. H. P. Steele, BENJAMIN
Woodruff, George Houston, w. Dav-
idson aud Decker Lee against the
Greeley Irrigation company to pre-
vent the latter from enforcing reso-
luton passed to restrain tile validity
of ditch rights held by the plain
tiffs. ....-.
The case comes out of movement
by the Greeley Irrigation company
to have all the. holders of old water
rights in No. 3, exchange their orig
inal water right certificates for .
propurtionate amount of stock in the
Irrigation company. Nothing more
can now be done In the matter until
the case is tried on its merits.
In 1870 Union colony, built what
was then known as the Colony ditch,
now No. 3. for the use Of colony land
and land adjoining Separate deeds
were given for the land and water
rights. In 1875 Uuion colony sold
three -eights of the stock in the ditch
to the city of Greeley and later tho
remainder of the stock was purchased
by the Greeley Irriagtion company.
After this many under the ditch
decided their water rights to the new
company and took ditch stock In
stead, but the plaintiffs In this eass
continued to hold their perpetual
water right Deeds.
A few weeks ago the defendaDs
company pasesd a resolution to H.
effect that after December 81, 1851
it would refuse to recognize water
right deeds, or deliver water to any
such water right holders unless the
owners OF said water rights would
execute deeds to the company fer
their nater and pay as back asses
ment 1882 for each five acre water
right. The plaintiffs argue that -
thev have never used the water.
the amount asked is too much and
that there is question, In view OF
the nature of their water stock deeds,
IL they can be required to pay the
assessments.

BAD AUTO ACCIDENT
Loveland Banker Is Run Over by
His Own Machine

While returning in his auto from
Greeley last Thursday evening, ]. NJ.
Cunningham, cashier of the Larimer
County Bank of Loveland. had an ac
cident near the Oswald Allen place
east of Loyeland which came near to
costing him his life and which re-
suited In q broken leg which will keep
him inside for some weeks to come.
Mr.. Cunningham and his party were
returning from Greeley where they
had been spending the day. He
stopped the machine in order to light
the lamps, and as he descended it Is
supposed that his overcoat caught on
a lever, setting the machinery in mo-
tion. The sudden start of the auto
threw Mr.. Cunningham under the
machine, which passed over his body,
breaking his right leg near the hip.
Those in the auto managed to stop the
machinery just as the auto was about
to plunge into ditch and thus
averted another accident which might
have proven more fatal than the first
one.
Mr.. Cunningham was taken to town
at once where medical aid was sum-
moned. He is at present resting cas-
lily but the doctor in charge says that
it will be many weeks before he will
be able to be around on crutches.

JANUARY Is THE DATE
The Burns Concert to Be Given
in PRESBYTERIAN Church

The evening of Tuesday. January
%, has been definitely decided upon as
the date for the Burns" concert, to
be given by the best of local talent,
under the leadership of E. B. Hatch.
The program will be made up entirely
of .EcQtch music. songs, instrumental
and s1ixed. The entertainment will
be unique in the history of Greeley.
On account of the Elks fair being on
during the week of January 20 to 25,
the concert cannot well be given on
the anniversary of the birth of Robert
Burns, January %, hence the other
date was chosen.
From this time on until the con-
cert, Mr. Hatch and large chorus
will be busy training on the songs,
and working up their Scotch dialect
for the occasion. The concert will be
given in the First Presbyterian church
and the big pipe organ will be used
for accompaniment, as well as for
concert numbers by ]. Scott Thomp-
son. organist of the church. There
will be solos, duets, quartets, etc. on
the program, and also some reading
selections by well known elocutionists.
Keep the date and place in mind and
remember that the entertainment will
be one of the best to be given in Gree
ley this winter.
The concert is being given under
the auspices of the Tribune for the
benefit of the Pioneers Fountain
fund, which still lacks nearly 5000 of
being paid up.
