While some excellent bouts have
been staged under the New York
laws and while there is little doubt
that the future will see many just as
good, it is a fact that the champions
will have to be coaxed great deal to
step into ring with their crown at

fight twelvc-round no-decision fight
and get almost as much money.

In Court Again

After eight years in the courts the
suit OF the Bessemer Ditch company
against the West Pueblo Ditch asso-
citation, has come up in the district
court on motion to strike out GER
tain portions of defendants amended
answer.
Not only local owners of water

Interested in the outcome of this liti-
CATION. for the State Hospital for the
insane secures its irrigation water
from the same ditch that supplies the
gardens and other intensively farm
ed tracts on the north side of the
limits.
Object of the suit is to cut the de-
cree date of the West Pueblo ditch
from 1877 to 1887, ten year reduc-
the defense that there is no ground
for such claim except small tee
hnicality.
Not only is the case considered i'm
portant from the standpoint of the
owners of water rights, and because
the state also is interested, but be-
cause there is the possibility of an
important precedent.
Attorney Fred A, Sabin of La Jun
ia represents the plaintiff, apd At
torneys Packard and Voorhees, and At
torney General Keyes the defendent.
The motion to strike from the de-
fendent's amended answer was ar

and the question was taken under ad-
visement.
Though the case has already been
eight years in the courts, there is as
yet no indication of when it will be
tried on its merits.
