CASES First Htarinc Postponed I'nttl An- gnat Governor ' Aldrich Says Board of Irrigation Will Look Into Matter. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, July 12.-(Speclal.)-That the legislature may. be called upon to settle a controversy now on between two great financial interests battling to gain con trol of the water power rights of the Loup river was shown this morning in a hearing which was held . before the Board of Irrigation in the office of State Engineer Price. The first "hearing was in regard to the cancellation of the rights of H. E. Bab cock of Columbus and the other hearing was regarding the rights of C. T. Boggs of this city. It is understood that be hind Mr. Babcock are the H. L. Doherty Interest of New Tork City, while George Moore of Detroit with other financiers are associated with Boggs. After considerable discussion the Bab cock matter, in which he had been asked to appear and show cause why his ap plication for water power should not be cancelled, waa continued until August 11 at the request of his attorneys and was agreed to by the other parties In the case. There seems to be quite a sentiment among those on the outside that the matter should be left to the legislature and . while one or the other of the com panies should be given the right to de velopment, that the state should receive something annually for that right. Bosks Case Pot Over. The Boggs application asks for water not used by the Babcock company, but takes It from the Loup river several miles above the Babcock claim and emnties into the Platte river near Schuyler .several miles below the Bab' cock claim. - ' ; The promoters of this claim, while hav ing asked , for a hearing did not seem to be ready to go into the case and after a wordy battle between Governor Aldrich and Mr. Hainer, one of the com pany, in which the governor politely in formed Mr. Hainer that there were "Just as good lawyers In the room as he was.
