IMPORTANT WATER CASE

On June 9Th the Supreme Court of
this state decided the water case of
E. E. Drach, Executor for the Hammer
ch Estate and John Sothmann VS..
Henry Rohwer and Emanuel Isola.
The decision will probably have an i'm
! portant bearing on other cases to be
brought throughout Colorado where the
situation is similar.
! 1t seems that in 1889 the Distric.
Court of Garfield County, adjudicated
to the Four Mile ditch from -Four Mile
creek 80 cubic feet of water per sec
ond of time relating back to November
6, 1881 for use in irrigating two
ranches of 100 acres each thereafter
purchased by Rohwer and Isola. At
the same time the court decreed four
cubic feet of water per second of time
relating back to May "a, 1882, from
Four Mile creek to the Atkinson Ditch
for the irrigation of the Hammerich
1 ranch and the John Sothmann ranch.
| The owners of the Four Mile ditch
| for a period of over twenty years from
1881 and for a period of about seven.
teen years from 1889 failed to use over
one half of the 3.2 cubic feet of water
ad Indicated to them for their ranches
because their lands had not been clear
ed and put under cultivation. During
merich and Sothmann ranches used tbtS
water through their Atkinson ditch.
In 1905 the owners of the FouT Mile
ditch put an additional amount of their
and for the first time undertook to use
the full quantity of water adjuddcated
to their ditch but the owners of the
Atkinson ditch claimed that they had
forfeited all rights they had under
their decree to the extent of one-half
ct thair sdjsiaieated rights which was
4 l.6 cubic feet because of non-usage and
also because of adverse use by the
owners of the Atkinson ditch. They
therefore began injunction proceedings
to prevent Rohwer and Isola from us
ng this 1.6 cubic feet of water which
up to this time had been used on the
Hammerich ranch.
The Hammerich and Sothmann peo-
pie lost out in the District Court for
their Atkinson ditch but on appeal to
the Supreme Court they have prevail
ed which gives them 1.6 cubic feet
of water and deprives the owners of
the -Four Mile ditch perpetually from
its use.
The Supreme Court holds that any
right the owners of the -Four Mile ditch
may have had with respect to this un-
used l.6 cubic feet of water was mere
ly an inchoate right which could ripen
into an absolute right only in case the
same was used by them within a rea-
sonable time and that delay Of over
twenty years or of even a delay of
10 or 16 years causes such inehoate
right to lapse and become utterly lost.

BRYAN FIGHTING
Contest for County Option Not to End
With Conventions Action.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. Nv. j. Bryan
will continue the contest for county
option and the initiative and referen-
dunn. In a statement issued today he
says:
While the failure of the Democratic
convention to indorse county option
was disappointing, still the fight for
county option in the Democratic party
has not been in vain. In the first
place it has helped to obtain decla-
ration in favor of the initiative and
referendum in both parties. and now
that all parties have declared for 1t
there is no doubt of the necessary
amendment being submitted at the
next session of the legislature.
The Populist party declared for
county option two years ago and 1t
was to be expected that it would de
clare for it again. The work now to
be done is to nominate county option
candidates in every senatorial and
representative district. The Demo-
Gratis who favor county option should
turn out at the primaries and nomi-
nate a candidate favorable to county
option. The Republicans in favor of
county option should be as active in
nominating Republican candidates fav'
orable to county option. County op-
ton candidates should be nominated
by all parties in each district and l
have no doubt that this can be done
in a great many districts.
"If the Democratic convention had
indorsed county option the issue
would have been eliminated from our
campaign for state officers, congress-
men and senators. But even as it is,
it will not be controlling factor ex-
cept in the case OF governor. There
is no reason why anyone's vote on
other state officers should be influenc-
ed by the attitude Of the candidates
on the question of county option and
there is no reason why we should not
vote for our congressman with view
to securing proper representation on
national issues"

SLAIN BY HUSBAND
Then James Collins Killed Himsel
When Escape WnS ImnOssihle.


Pleasant Hill, Mo-, Aug. 1.-With a
copy of the petition for divorce in his
pocket that had been served on him by
deputy sheriff, James Collins shot
and killed his wife here today. The
shooting occurred at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. Jessie Davidson, where
his wife lived.
After killing his wife Collins rode
swiftly out of town, going north. AS
he went away in his buggy he called to
neighbor, Jesse Dabness. saying:
Go on down there. have killed her."
Neighbors of the Collins family tel
phoned to the police. Charles Bailey,
city marshal, and James Prater, dep
uty sheriff, went to the Collins home
with DR.. r. P. Yeagle in a motor car.
BY the time they arrived Collins had
disappeared.
The officers in the car followed and
finally picked up the trail of the mur-
derer, where he had driven into his
daughters farm. Following a winding
road which led into an abandoned
quarry they saw Collins lying on the
ground with revolver in his hand.
He commanded them to stay in the
car. The officers talked to Collins to
induce him to surrender, but he re-
fused. He was told that he would
have to go or they would kill him. He
replied that that was what he wanted
them to do. Bailey, Prater and Doctor
Yeagle advanced on Collins. who
moved few feet further on and again
laid down. He then tried to shoot him
self, but the gun failed to work. Dur
ing this time the officers had been
drawing closer and Marshal Bailey
again told Collins that it would be
best for him to surrender, but again
he refused. Turning, he ran and
Bailey shot at him, striking him in
the right leg. Collins fell in the
quarry and shot himself in the head.
He was dead when the officers reach.
ed him.
Mrs. Collins was alone in the kitch-
en- Of her daughters house when her
husband entered. She was standing
at the stove stirring preserves when
Collins shot her.,
The only other person in the house
was Mrs. Davidson, the daughter, who
was in an upstairs room. Mrs. David
son. who is i'll, is prostrated.
Collins and his wife were married
here in 1879. They had quarreled fre-
quently for years and two weeks ago
they separated. Mrs. Collins, in her
petition for divorce, a copy Of which
Collins had in his pocket when he
committed the murder, stated that he
persisted in sleeping at Mrs. David
sons home and took his mtals with
the family. The petition also stated
that she was afraid of Collins and
that he had threatened to kill her. In
speaking OF his troubles this morning.
Collins said he did not care what be-
came OF his wife. but that he did love
his children and was worried about
them.

Just and unfair to demand that the
union should repeal General Hert-

even it were possible to do so, it
would nevertheless be unconstitution-

in the Orange River colony, would he
considered, lead to disunion, and for
that reason he opposed 1t. He hoped
the question would not be fought on
party lines at the expense of the chill

electioneering cry.
Turning to other questions, General
Botha said that he was in favor of

examiners would be afforded assist
