Readers Of The Enterprise will
be interested in the following re-
port upon two water cases which
for a long time have been a waiting
a he airing by the state supreme
court upon appeal from the dis
trict court of Otero county. an
nouncement of which was made in
this paper last week:
In the case OF the Catlin Canal Com
pany vs.. the Water Officers. the supreme
court, through Chiof Justice Gabbert. de-
livered an opinion reversing the juog-
ment entered by Judge Essex in Otero
county. 1t held that the district court of
Otero county was without jurisdiction to
entertain the cause; that the jurisdiction
of the district court of Bent county is ex-
elusive in matters affecting priority under
DEGREES entered by the Bent county court.
and that the district court of Otero county
should have sustained the demurrer to
the complaint challenging the jurisdiction.
The Judgment Of the district court is
therefore reversed, and the cause remand
ed. with directions to sustain the demurrer.
As the district court was without juri sdc-
ton to entertain the case. the supreme
court properly expresses no opinion on
the merits or other questions considered
by the trial court or presented in argu-
ment. The substance Of the matter is
that the Judgment is reversed and the
case will have to be dismissed. If any
questions are presented hereafter as to
the force or effect Of the transfer decree,
they will have to be presented in another
litigation.
The supreme court also reversed the

this district have record of no tardy
marks for the month of March, Eureka;
room at La Fayette; third, fifth,

The Juniors had a candy and pop
corn sale last Friday, and it proved
very successful both financially and
otherwise. The Juniors are raising

returns from this sale will help out a
great deal, for they are hard pressed
at this time.

DROPS DEAD
Miss Meyers, Well-KnownP Postal Tele-
graph Operator, Answers Last
Summons While Dressing


Never have the people of this
community been more previously
shocked than they were last Sat
urday morning when the news
was flashed thruout the city OF
the sudden demise of Miss Meyers,
the well-known and highly esteem
ed manager of the Postal Tele-
graph Gable Office.
AS the popular business woman
had been about her duties as
usual up to late hour the even
ing before the news could scarce
ly he credited but anxious inquiry
at the W. b. Goblin home brot
confirmation and the added in
telligence that she had been
stricken down by apoplexy while
dressing, and had been found ly-
ing dead upon the floor of her
room by Miss Eva Goblin, who
went in search of her when she
failed to appear for breakfast at
her usual hour that morning.
Tho Miss Meyers had more
warm personal friends than the
majority she had no known relative
other than a sister thot to be in
st Lonis, but no trace of her could
be secured, so funeral arrange
ments were taken in charge by
Mr.. GobIn and the funeral was
held from his home on Monday
afternoon.
AS an expression of the esteem
in which she was held most of the
business houses were closed dur
ing the services, which were at
tended in body by the Rocky
Ford Womens Club and II large
concourse of friends. DIR. }. l..
Weaver had charge of the service
and gave eloquent testimony to
the virtues of the deceased and
her untirinr work for humanity.
Interment was in Valley View
cemetery, where the remains
were followed by great retinue
of sincerely mourning friends.
On April l, 1899, Mary L.
Meyers took charge of the Rocky
Ford Office of the Postal Tele-
graph Co., coming here from
Ouray, where she had occupied a
similar position for some years.
Miss Meyers quickly endeared
herself to the people of this city
and by her responsiveness to the
calls of the sick, needy and desti-
tute won permanent abiding
place in the hearts of all so that
when the Associated Board oi
Charities was organized some
years ago the only manager men
toned WAS this kindly-hearted
woman and nowhere will her loss
be more severely felt than at the
head of this organization.
Not only was Miss Meyers
labor for humanity proverbial but
she was also recognized cham
pion of the animal kingdom, as
the humane officer of this city
| could testify at all times.
She was an accomplished Span
ish scholar and for several years
had devoted her spare moments
to the teaching of this Language
to a class of boys and Probahl,
the most profound grief over hel
demise is found by these lads who
have lost their revered teacher.
1t may well be said of Mary e
Meyers that she utilized he
every talent for good and no mon
ument will be required to ensh rin'
her memory in the hearts of al
who knew her.
