bidding is expected at Christie's to-
morrow when the celebrated Queen
Elizabeth ring is to be sold at auo-

who lives at $50 Fifth street, for it
will bring to her the dead body OF
her only son and sole support, who
died in Denver hospital. The re-
mains are expected to arrive this
afternoon.
Leaving Greeley three weeks ago
when his employment ended at the
sugar factory Virgil c. Buckley ex-
pressed his intention of taking
short vacation before resuming en-
ployment. He was happy at the
prospect, as he had not enjoyed
such a luxury in years. With his
mothers last kiss and her wishes
for happy outing for her loved
boy, he went away.
He expected to be gone only
few days, and told his mother that
she need not expect to hear from
him until his return. The days
heightened into weeks and when
the mother did not hear she became
anxious. Meanwhile the son had Sc
| cured employment near Denver, but
expected that it would last only a
short time and then he would re-
turn home. He sen, no word to the
waiting mother, thinking that he
would soon be with her again.
| few days ago he was seized with
| pneumonia. He was hurried to
| hospital in Denver, wnere death
came suddenly.
The first word the mother in Gree
ley received was notice from tho
railroad company that the body of
her son had been shipped to Greeley
and consigned to her.
i The Buckleys are well known
here. The dead man was 35 years
of age and had been employed at
the sugar factory. Arrangements
for the funeral have not been made.

Colorado Crops Show Well

Insxhe foregoing table are stated
the sums paid to the farmers OF
Colorado this year for eight crops,
according to the final revised figures
of the United States department OF
agriculture. whose supplementary
December report has just been re-
ceived In Denver The value of the
eight crops specified to the farmers
is greater than the total mineral out
put of the state for the year. and
the eight crops represent only a
small proportion of the agricultural
products OF the state.
sugar beets, fruits, melons, peas
and minor vegetable crops will easily
run in value to an aggregate equal
to The total for the eight crops on
which official figures are given, ana
crops marketed ION the hoot Will

JUDGE BLISS DECISION THE
CAUSE OF COMMENT HERR

General satisfaction 10 expressed
throughout Weld county over the
decision In the Farmers Independent
Ditch company vs.. The Scherer Land
and Investment company In the dis
trict court at Denver yesterday. The
retention of at least SO cubic feet per
second In the Weld county bitches is
assured under the courts ruling.
The case. 1t Is believed. will estab-
lish a precedent in irrigation litiga.
ton. The scarcity OF water is one OF
the serious problems of the irriga-
tion districts and the majority OF
ditch owners in Weld county believe
allowing the trasfer OF abandoned
water to the disadvantage OF subse-
quent priorities in the immediate
neighborhood.
The opinion OF Judge Bliss is OF
interest. especially in its CLOSING
paragraph where he sums up his
findings. Regarding the legal con
he says:
Applying the law to the facts
hereinabove stated. 1t may be said
that abandonment consists In non
user. coupled with an intention TO
abandon. The non-user Of more
than Is cubic feet per second for the
period OF more than 20 years is es
tablished, and. as already indicated,
the intention to abandon any excess
had been shown by an agreement to
sell below the market value OF the
amount actually used. and by the
physical conditions of the property.
However. the diversion and use OF
the IS cubic feet clearly shows no
intention to abandon any of that
amount. and 1t is impossible for the
court to find that more than that
amount has been abandoned. Such
evidence OF facts existing before the
decree as was admitted has no clear
or direct bearing upon the question
of abandonment, so far as the court
can see.
Much evidence was admitted CON
cerning the excessive use and waste
OF water. and much of the argument

case, 81 Colo. 35T, is cited to the
court as authority for the doctrine
that an excessive use or waste o.
water constitutes an ahandonmenN

there was no question or excessive
use. 1t was a case of non-user' II
would be difficult indeed to iit an
excessive use or waste of water to
the definition of abandonment. EN-
cessive use is the opposite to non
use, and evinces frame OF hi'""
quite contrary to that or an ihtel'
