IMPORTANT LITIGATION
ST NUMBER 72
Suits Filed Against the McCook
Irrigation Company
January 30th there was filed in
the office of the clerk of the dis
trict court in tlins city n suit
against tlie McCook Irrigation
and Water Power Co by Isaiah
H Wasson wliich promises to op
en up one of the biggest items of
litigation tliis county has witness
ed in some time
The suit primarily is for a re
straining order against the com
pany to restrain the company
from shuttang off water from the
plaintiffs land
The papers filed allege that the
McCook Irrigation and Water
Power Co is now asking discrim
inatory prices for water and for
water rights Alleging that while
some land owners along the ditch
have paid but 1000 for a per
petual right for 160 acres which
gives one cubic foot of water con
tinuously during the irrigating
season the company now de
mands 3500 per acre for wat
er together with taxes and main
tenance1 or practically five timse
more than others received the
same service for
Suits have also been filed by
Mrs L J Burtless and F S Lof
ton wliile several other suits are
in abeyance
This is a matter of vast and in
valuable importance to many
farmers and land owners along
the ditch anany of whom aside
from Mr W II Ferguson of
Lincoln and Mr J E Kelley of
our city who practically control
the ditch will be effected in a
most damaging manner if this
matter stands the tests of the
courts
