DECISION OF INTEREST
TO CAREY LAND ENTRYMEN
Rights Of Wsy for bitches and Dispo-
sal Of Waste Water.

A decision of much interest to settlers
on Carey act land Of Idaho has Just
been handed down in the Fourth Judi
eial district court at Shoshone. Judge
Walters presiding.
The case, Beverlin VS.. Workman,
originated in Twin Falls county and
was brought to settle the right to build
canals across Carey act lands as well as
to run waste water away from ene's
premises.
The plaintiff, at date prior to the
time the defendant filed on his land un-
der the Twin Falls project, built a ditch
on the land that the defendant after
wards filed on. The defendant set up
the claim that the plaintiff had in law
no right-of-way for his ditch: that it
being Carey act land, the title to the
land before the defendant filed on it
was not in the general government but
in the State of Idaho, and that the
statutes of the United States giving a
right-of-wsy for canal over unoccu-
pied public lands did not apply.
The court held that this view was
not tenable: that the Carey act lands
were in no sense state lands, but for
all purposes were in effect government
lands: and that these lands were enti-
tied to all the rights and privileges of
the government statutes relative to
public lands.
The second point decided was. that a
farmer has no right in law TO permit
waste water from his fields to flow
across the lands of another in the dry
channels locally known as coulees; that
inasmueh as these coulees are conduits
or waterways only for the surface wa
ter in the spring. they are not natural
waterways such as would entitle an ir-
rigator to flow his wastewster into
them; and that it is incumbent upon
the person using water for irrigation
purposes to absolutely control the same
and save his neighbor harmless from
damage regardless of the contour of
the country.

IN SLANDER SUIT

We're Not Aimed at
Bury.
COUNSEL SAYS POLITICS
INSPIRED THE ACTION
Jury Reaches Decision After Be.
ing Out Only Half an
Hour.

After being out thirty-f1ve minutes
the jury in the $4,000 slander suit of
Daniel Bury against Mayor shoenthaI.
Of Orange, returned verdict for the
defendant today.
In summing up Edward M. Cole,
counsel for the Mayor, declared that
the action was merely a political
suit" He referred to the fact that the
city counsel of Orange was acting as
the legal representative of Bury against
the Mayor of the city. 1t was a case
of politics." he maintained.
The defense has admitted making
the remark that the PROPOSED purchas
Ing of a truck by the fire committee
was an effort to ''nlulct the city" The
defendant also admitted stating that
the Republican members of the Orange
Council would not hesitate to "falsify
facts in order to deceive the people" !"
but denied that the alleged slanderous
were directed to Bury per-
sonally.
The libel count was non-suited on
Friday, and the Jury Is now called upon
to decide whether the remarks of the
Democratic executive of Orange were
towards Bury. to the council
in general, or were made for purposes
Of abetting the cause of Democracy.
In charging the jury, Judge Heisley
explained how far campaigner can go
In making a political speech. He
stated that the address of the mayor
on which the action is based was Il
privileged communication, and the only
thing left for the jury to prove was
hat the alleged slanderous statements
we're made with malicious intent. He
look occasion to dwell on the "unfor-
.unate condition of affairs in this coun-
-ry, when as soon as candidate gets
nto office he becomes the object of
suspicion. The Jury commenced their
