Lost Township n Best Co.sty.

Several weeks ago there appeared
In one Of the Denver papers an ar
ticle telling about the lost township
IN Bent county. which had been over.
looked by settlers. Considerable az.
element was aroused up and down
the Valley and many people came TO
locate homesteads ON this phantom
township. while many others wrote

II was explained that all the land In
northern Bent county was owned and

pie took II as good nstured hoax.
But now II seems that the story was

The original story was based on 4

Strong Evidence for Colorado.


Some of the best evidence yet pre-
sented on behalf of Colorado water
users at the Colorado-Kansas water
suit hearing was taken In Pueblo one
day last week. The witnesses were
II. w. Potter. of La Junta. Russell
stubbs, of La Junta, and Harry Lu-
bers, of Denver, Mr.. Potter testified
to the condition of the Arkansas riv-
er in Kansas and Colorado before the
water now being sued for was APP
propriated.
Russell Stubbs resided at Hartman
and Coolidge. Kan, In pioneer days
and he testified to the conditions of
the river in Kansas during the irri-
CATION period. giving personal evil
dence that there was not sufficient
water in the river In Kansas for irri-
CATION purposes In the pioneer days
before there was any water appropri-
eated in Colorado. His evidence will
go to show that II water was not i'm
pounded or diverted In Colorado, It
would sink into the river bed before
reaching Kansas.
+ The testimony offered by Harry
Lubers. attorney OF Denver, is per-
haps, the most important to be given
In the suit. Mr.. Lubers sold the wa
ter rights and the irrigation project
known as the Menke project and also
as the Arkansas Valley Beet Sugar
Land and Irrigation Company to the
Dayie and Mckinney interests. which
interests have brought the suit
against Colorado water users through
their holdings secured through Mr..
Lubers.
Mr.. Lubers testified that the pro-
ject, when bought by the Davie and
Mckinney interests. was an abandon
ed ditch; that II had been abandoned
years before because the water would
not reach the point Of diversion in
the irrigation period: that this was
before the water rights complainsd Of
in Colorado had been taken out. or
any water had been diverted under
the rights complained Of. Attorney
Lubers testified that Davie and Nc
Kinney Interests knew the condition
Of the property when they purchased
