Farmer Grams Melons
into Boys for Robbery

Council Bluffs, Ia.-To be com
PEELED to gorge themselves on a
truckload of melons which they
had stolen from a field was the
novel form of punishment for
nine young men caught by Wal
ter ]. Miller, melon grower.
Miller surprised the youths
and advanced on them with
revolver, forcing them to drive
the truck to his house.
He then locked them In
room, and holding them in ter
ror forced them to eat melons
that his wife passed through a
window.
At the end Of the melon-eating
contest the robbers were all roll
ing on the floor In agony while
three melons only remained In
the truck.

accepted. We now renew the offer in
the hope that the settlers on the pro-
ject may fully understand the motive
prompting this movement for an irri-
CATION district.
Respectfully,
L. J. MAGEE,
Secretary Boise-Payette Water Users
Association.
To the Editor of The Caldwell
Tribune:
In the Idaho Free Press of March
III, appears a communication signed
by Van de Steeg and Breshears, at
torneys for the Project Improvement
club, i'll which they state that the vail
dity of the assessments attempted to
be collected i'll the case of Payette-
Boise Water Users Association, Ltd
VS.. Sherman d. Fairchld and Gertrude
B. Fairchild, was not decided, in their
opinion.
We desire to quote the language of
the court and let the readers of your
paper decide for themselves whether
the matter of the legality of the as
sessments was decided or not. Folios
| 257 and 258 of the transcript of appeal
under the title Order Ruling on De-
murrer and Judgment of Dismissal"
you will find the following:
THE court finds, as conclusion of
law, (a) that the stock subscription
contract entered into between the de-
PENDANTS and the plaintiff association
and the bylaws of the association
pleaded constitute an agreement to
pay assessments as levied by the
board of directors;
(b) That the stock subscription
contract provides the method of the
enforcement of collection of assess
ments that may be made and that the
same is by foreclosure as for the fore
closure of mortgages and that such
provision is the exclusive remedy to
be followed by the plaintiff in the en-.
forcement of assessments levied;
Co That the defendants having
contracted and agreed with the asso
citation to pay assessments, sections
ABB to 4751, inclusive, of Idaho Com
piled Statutes, have no application t.
the case at bar;
(d) That, while the board of di
rectors had power and authority un
der the contract to levy the assess
ments sued upon and that said assess
ments were properly levied, (talic
are mine) the action cannot be main
tanned for the reason that the plain
,, tiff has elected to sue for a persona
judgment when its remedy is that il
foreclosure, as for the foreclosure Q
mortgages"
From this portion of Judge Owens
decision, counsel for Fairchild appea
ed to the supreme court.
!, The supreme court, in passing upo
a this portion of the appeal, on page a
4 tour OF its opinion, says as follows:
1 1T is apparent that the stock sui
9 scriptlon contract, taken together wit
the bylaws, constitutes an agreemer
for the collection of assessments. an
that the method agreed upon directl
4 excludes and supersedes that De
scribed by statute"

Mr.. L. J. Magee,
Caldwell, Idaho.

Dear Sir:
| have your letter of March 3, in
which you say that The Supreme
Court of the State, in the case of
Payette-Boise Water Users associa
ton VS.. Sherman D. Fairchild, ct ux.,
has just handed down a decision in
which it has held that the stock sub
scription contract between the men,
bers OF the association, constitutes an
agreement to pay the assessments lev
led by the board of directors and that
such assessments constitutes a mort
gage upon the land and stock of the
individual members, and may be fore
closed by the association and the
land and stock sold to pay the assess
ments."
You seem to have misunderstood
ing of the decision in this case. I
have copy of the decision before me,
and the only points decided are, first,
that there is no personal liability on
the part of the stockholders for as
scssments levied against the stock by
the association, and second, that the
sole means of enforcing such assess
ments is by foreclosure on the stock
and lands. And for these reasons, the
decision of the district court, in sus-
tanning the defendants demurrer to
the complaint was sustained and the
judgment of dismissal affirmed. The
question as to what constitutes valid
assessment, as we'll as the question
whether any of the assessments lev
ofed by the association are valid or in
valid, was not decided by the court in
this case.
There was a case, however, with
which you are familiar, in the district
court of this district, in which the
Payette- Water Users asscocia-
ton was plaintiff and the writer was
defendant in which it was decided d.
rectly that the particular assessments
referred to in your letter of March g.
were invalid This judgment the as.
ISOLATION did not see fit to appeal
from and the same is now final.
While this Judgment determines the
validity of these assessments only If
relation to the writer's stock, yet, il
determines the principles of law which
apply to the assessments made on al
other stock at the same time and BY
the same proceeding and renders then
all invalid likewise.
Your statement, therefore, that 9TH,
Association intends to enforce tn,
outstanding and unpaid assessment
against every water user of this asso
citation" is made without the supper
of the case which you refer to in you
letter, and without the support ant
, directly opposed to the decision of tn
courts in all the other cases that hav
been commenced.
You assume to speak and act a
secretary of the association. TIL
stockholders, however, at their annus
meeting, by very large majority, re
fused to permit you this authority.
The water users should not be dc
ceved or intimdated by the statement
you make in your letter.
Respectfully,
WALTER GRIFFITHS.
