A decision of great Importance
to ranchers Of all irrigated dist
ricts has been handed down by
Jupdge Cavender in the District
court, in which he holds that the
mere fact of the use of a ditch
for irrigating purposes gives no
title to its user. In all irrigated
sections in the state ranchers have
been proceeding on the theory that
when either waste ditch or a head
ditch is once established on any
ones land one becomes vested to
a title in the ditch from the con-
tinued use of it. Judge Cavender
held, however, in case from
Fruita entitled T. A. Topham VS..
Morgan Williams, that no such
right existed in law. His opinion
was that no matter how long
ditch may be used by a farmer the
title remains in the original own
er, even though permission has
been granted for it's construction.
To obtain title to the ditch a con-
veyance must be made by deed or
by condemnation proceedings, as
the courts have held that bitches
are real property, which must be
transferred as is other property.

Dunkirk.-I am writing this dis
patch to the sound Of heavy rife firing
in the streets of this town. A German
Taube just now was flying above us
and receiving its customary salute Of
bullets. 1t finally disappeared In the
direction OF Ostend without doing or
receiving any damage.
This is the second aerial call the
Germans have paid Dunkirk today.
About nine o'clock this morning .

considerable period. The aviator paid
dearly for his temerity. for his ma
chine was badly damaged by shot and
he was forced to descend outside the
town, only to find himself and the ma
chine Immediately captured.
The Taube has been led In triumph
through the streets of the town.

It now appears certain that the Ger
mans have been ehelled out Of their
positions at Ostend. Small parties.

Over twelve thousand Belgians re-

that number from Holland. All Of
the Holland border towns are filed
with frantic Belgians, who move about
anxiously seeking relatives and are
afraid to return to their native land.
The country about Antwerp is DESC

It Is estimated that about three
hundred buildings were destroyed In
Antwerp by bombs, most of these
structures being residences. The Hotel
de lEurope and the Taverne Royale
on La Place Verte were among rs
large buildings destroyed by fire
caused by bombs.
La Mier and other leading business
streets are untouched, but all the
large business houses are still closed,
despite the efforts of the Germans to
restore normal conditions.

About sixty persons were killed dur

Theophile Lemaire. Argentine con-

Although having received many in
injuries. bis right leg being broken, his
left temple gashed, his scalp torn, his
right side lacerated and his lower limbs

considered to be fairly good as he was a
man OF vigorous physique.
1t is said that Gomez was trying to
adjust belt at the time of the accident,
his clothing catching in the betting and
drawing him into the machinery. He
was whirled about the shafting and
through hole in the wood partition Is
inches square, his body being stripped OF
clothing in the meantime and being re-
leased thereby. He was at once taken
by train to Montpelier and was given
every attention that could be given.

sided in Northfield for some years He

years ago. His wife died last fall, and

MULcTING THE WORKER.
Federal Commission Hears How 1t Is
Done by Employment Offices.

New York, May 20.-Abuses alleged
to be practiced by private employment
offices, the inadequacy of philanthropic
Offices of limited scope meant to sup
plant private agencies, and the need of
broad organization of employment on
national lines, were emphasized in the
public hearing before the United States
commission on industrial relations on
Monday. Thirty-three witnesses will be
heard during the three days devoted to
employment offices and unemployment.
The purpose of the hearings is to obtain
information for recommendations to
Congress for remedial industrial legisla-
tion.
Cases of collision between the gang"
boss and the employment agent, in
which the employe is discharged and the
agent receives a second fee; of mis-
representation of the character of en-
ployment by the agents; dispatch OF en-
ployes to places where work is suspend
ed, from strike or other causes; the
charging of excessive percentages on
salaries, by theatrical and other agen-
cies, with the aequieseence of the vic
tins through fear. were among the chief
complaints charged Monday against the
existing system as reported Monday.
