JUDO LOCKWOOD
HANDS DOWN DECISION

FLORENCE.April lO.-After nearly
two years of watchfui waiting a deci
sion was handed down in the superi r
court on Thursday in the matter Of
George Lobb VS.. Pete Avenente by
Judge A c. Lockwood. of Cochisc
county. to whom the case was assign
ed in June 1914 There was a large
crowd OF farmers from all parts Of the
valley in the courtroom. who listened
with deep interest to the reading of
the decision. which seems TO have
been taken with good spirit
Right at the outset Judge Lock W God
made it clear that an appropriation Of
water meant putting the same to a
beneficial use and that a lapse of five
wears would constitute abandon ment
Of an appropriation He also applied
the doctrine OF relation in cases where
an appropriation owning a large body of
land and applied only a small quantity
of water at first but used reasona bic
diligence in bringing the balance of
his land into cultivation
Said Judge Lock"oca: y: IS nc;
far TO the public nor to future sersr-
ations that a settler. once having I'M
tiated a water right, can fail to use
the water. and making no effort to
recover it. even though the initial
failure vas not his fault. sit idly by
and BY mere declarations Of intention,
and a hope of future water supply,
bold right which would necessarily
debar other actual settlers from COM
ing in and making improvements and
develo ping the country
Following the decision of Judge
Lockwood. is a table OF the lands that
are decreed TO have valid water rights
These lands are shown by descriptions
oulv and their priorities are determin-
ed by years. that is lands having
water in 1868 and con
tinued beneficial use of same has a
prior right over appropriations made
since that year, and so on down to the
present time 1t should be under
stood that all the ladds decreed water
rights are GATED Class 4 lands. other
classes referred TO in the decision
having been used merely as a means
OF elimination. and priorities are de-
termined one over the other by year
+ appropriation
Judge Lockwood concluded the
reading of his decision by advising
that the land owners of this valley
get together and all in one direction
for an early solutio OF the water
profile ms OF the valley.

Marshal conlee unravels Mysterious
Burslaries That Have Recently
Been Committed.

With Milton Simpson. Il years old.
and Jimmie Strain. 16 years old. both
negro boys. behind the bars. City Mar.
shall Conlee believes that he has put
a stop to some of the mysterious bur.
glaries that have been committed in
Bryan in the last few weeks. In all
he has five separate and distinct cases
against the two boys and thinks that
he will be able to rid the city OF their
presence for a few years.
Last night Mr.. Conlee caught young
Simpson in the act OF prying open the
back window OF the John Burden
place on Main Street with a long
rusty butcher knife. and arrested him
and carried him TO jail. After grill
ing him for about two hours he got
confession from him. and as a result
now has three cases OF burglary
against him. Simpson also implicated
young Strain and he was Immediately
arrested and put through the same
process that the first boy was. He
had in his possession two diamonds
that he had stolen from Lawrence
Parker several weeks ago. One was
a diamond Elk pin. valued at s35. and
the negro had taken the stone out OF
the pin and had II In a stud. He
claimed that he threw the Elk head
in tank about three miles from the
city. The other diamond was In a
stick pin. and this the negro had TAX.
en- from the pin and had II loose In
HIS pocket.
City Marshal Coniee Is confident
that these two boys are responsible
for nearly all the burglaries and pet.
~ thieving that has been committed
In the city lately. and says he be.
lieves that II he could get full con.
fession he would have enough against
them to keep them In the reformitory
for several years.

some person and probably horse or
two are drowned. Then another death

The writer knows whereof he
speaks. He knows of one case where
three men drove on to what they
thought was a culvert. The water had
backed up from the main creek and
covered the culvert and it looked all
right, but it was partly washed away.
The outcome was one man nearly
drowned, and both horses drowned
and fioated down stream. Another
case under my own observation was
that Of a threshing engine which
went through a culvert eight or ten
feet wide and about that deep. What
happened? A fireman was scalded to

BETTER ATTENTION TO EGGS
They Should Be Uniform in Color and
Shape, and Regular in Size as
Far as Possible.

More attention should be paid TO
eggs at all times and under all cir
cumstances This means that they
should be uniform in color and shape
and regular in size as far as possible.
If they had more attention paid to
them at our fairs and were brought
to the notice of the public and the
farmers in particular, much good
would come from it. Let us offer
good prizes for a display of eggs, say
not less than three dozen, and have it
stipulated that they be strictly fresh;
that no cold storage stock need apply
for the sake of selecting for size. If
such a plan were carried out at a
number of our fairs for a few years
the selection of good eggs would get
to be a science and would interest the
poultry public TO a great degree, and
be of untold benefit to all Of us,
whether as producers or consumers Of
eggs.
