The Moutezuma Valley Irrigation
district has brought suit against the
Empire Construction company for
nearly e90O. 600 damages alleged TO have
been caused by the failure Of this conn
pany to properly fulfill It's contiact
in putting in the water system. No
doubt the District has received the
worst Of 1t at the hands Of the Con-
struction company, aud We would like
to see the farmers get what 10 due them,
but suing wealthy construction COM
pany is like suing railroad company,
you may win but the chances are you
don't. Usually company will resort
to tactics that an honest man would
not think Of, and we have noticed that
the parties who take their pocket books
with them to court and leave their
consciences at home usually win. II
defeated in one court they appeal to
another.

Ed Nolan Shot.

An unfortunate shooting afYfay oc-
Cured at Mancos Sunday evening.
Marion Baker, who has been selling
musical instruments throughout the
county, was accused by Ed Nolan Of
giving Nolan's boys liquor. Baker
was full of booze at the time aud upon
Nolan calling him by an uncompli-
mentary name he pulled his gun and
began shooting. Four bullets took
effect, two in the head, one In the neck
and one in the body. That Nolan was
not killed instantly seems a miracle
One eye was torn out by a bullet and
another bullet lodged just behind the
other eye. AT last report the wounded
man was living aud hopes for his re-
covery are entertained by some. After
the shooting Baker crawled under the
jail where he was found and placed
under arrest. He was taken to Cortez
and placed in the county jail.

Dolores Is Wet.

Dolores and vicinity was visited last
evening by the hardest rain that has
fallen here for many years. The water
came off Of the north mesa in such
volumes that it could not all pass
through the culvert under the railroad
and quite food came down through
the town. This caused considerable
excitement "A 1t was thought that the
heavy rain has raised the river and 1t
had broke through the railroad and
would follow its old course down
through town. Some Of the boys got
busy and put hole through under the
railroad which soon relieved the flood
conditions. The road east of town is
badly washsd and Alled with rock.
The town this morning looked like 1t
uaually does the morning after Hallow-
cen, the board walks and streets con.
tanning some distractions. Mrs. Nc
Ewen's house was flooded destroying
the carpets and rugs. George Ditch
neld's lots. which he recently filed
In with earth, were badly washed.
A few fences were damage, gardens
washed and chickens drowned. H.H.
jones' and Mr. Moats' houses were also
badly flooded. The cleaning of the
alley back Of the business block, which
has been . subject Of debate in the
town council for the past year, was
performed in . very creditabie manner
by the Hood.

Plans paliehtfn, Resort.

At Ingleside, near Phoenix, in the heart of the orange groves, w. J. Mur- phy has commenced the construction of a $l6,000 club house, which is designed primarily to be a place where eastern people who desire 10 spend their win tors in this delightful climate may live in all the luxury to which they have been accustomed and enjoy the outdoor excursions and sports which arc made possible by the perpetual sunshine pre- vailing in the Salt river valley. While the club house itself is planned to cost $l6,000, Mr. Murphy expects to spend at least $5e,000 before the resort is what he intends it shall be. Aside from the club house, hc is going to build three five-room cottages and two of three rooms each. There will be a swimming pool and golf course. The latter is already laid out. No expense is to be spared in making the grounds semi.tropical paradise.
