ereding now used all over the Donin-

Altho we have centered counsel

four years ago, other matters have

A decision of interest and great

Judge W. N. Searcy in the district
court at Conejos last Friday night
Judge Searcy held court in place
of Judge Wiley to hear the case of
The New Union Ditch Company
to declare an abandonment of the
water rights claimed by the Irriga-
tion District and the Alamosa Ca
nal Company on the Alamosa river.
1t seems that the District had, for
a number of years, been buying up
old priorities on the stream for use
in The Terrace Irrigation District,
which took the water away from
the Alamosa river users over into
the new district. 1t was the con-
tenton of plaintiffs that these pri-
critics had been long since aband-
oned. The case was tried last fall
at Conejos before Judge Searcy
1t took over week of day and
night sessions to try it. The Judge
reserved his decision and the attor-
neys submitted the question of law
and facts on briefs to the Judge.
The decision was decided vic
tory for the contentious of the
plaintiffs. The court declared that
over 81 cubic feet of water per Sec
ond of the Alamosa river that the
defendants had taken had been
long since abandoned and that
their use Of the water was unlawful.
He ordered an injunction to res
train them from using it.
