Prospects OF an endless amour. Of
litigation came UP yesterday, says
Colorado Springs Gazette. when re-
ports from Canon city said that tho
Denver and Rio Grande railroad Of

company for damages incurred by tho
road when the ShReffcr dam broke on

Is believed that numerous ranchers,
whose lands we're swept by water
from tho Shaffcr dam. will also start
suit. As the Shaeffer dam broke from

dam of the Arkansas Valley Light and
Power company Tho Beaver Land
company may in turn institute suit
