Suit Filed Against .
McCook Irrigation
& Power Company
McCOOK. Neb. Feb. S.-(fipclel!.-Papera
were filed In district court In this
ctty January 30. which will open up one
of the blggnat lawsuits, perhaps, that
Red Willow county has seen In years.
The McCook Irrigation and Water
Power company Is defendant, and Isaiah
II. Wasson of this city Is plaintiff. Was
son asks that the company In the first
place be restrained from shutting off
water for irrigation purposes from his
lund along the company's ditch.
The praecipe and petition allege that
the company Is now folloa-lng grossly
discriminatory practices, demanding shout
twice as much from some as they have
charged others for the same service.
That the company has sold perpetusl
aster rights for II.0WI er ISO acres, which
gives a cubic feet of water continuously
during the Irrigating season, while now
they demand IJfi.OD per acre, taxes aim
maintenance, for the same service.
Other suits have been filed sgainit
the company by Mrs. I.. J. Burtless snd
L. S. Lofton, ei-eounty commissioner.
while others are In abeyance.
This is a matter of tremendous Import
to all the farmers along the ditch, aside
from W. II. Ferguson of Uncoin and J
K. Kelley of McCook. who practically con
trol the ditch, and have large land pos
sessions along the ditch, which arc vf
(TT(at value because of this control.
The new Judge of the Fourteenth Ju
dicial district. Hon. E. B. Perry of Cam
bridge, closed his first term of court In
the district here this evening. About
twenty minor cases were diKsed of.
Nebraska this season than for several
years and at present hoiwes suffer more
than cattle. Dr. Booetrum says that one
thing Is noticeable and that Is the disease
Is always more prevalent after a dry
seaaon In which the corn has had a puny
and unhealthy growth than In normal
years. Not only Is the com more afflicted
with the element which produces the
disease, but the Increased use of corn
fodder, due to shortage of hay In such
years, also accentuates the trouble. He
Is strongly of the opinion that It Is not
only the stalk which Is a generator of
the disease.' but that the ear Is often
fully as dangerous.
There Is no wsy of knowing what the
loss from the disease will be this season,
but It certainly will be heavy, and there
Is no relief In sight before green feed Is
available.
