of Fish Lake Ditch
"Why, should" I quibble ovor 15 da;.-- when do hit it will lie a body
blow"
Such in Attorney A. K. Bennies' deli ti the City of Medford, mid be
yond tbnt brief Htatomdiit ho in uon-coiiiiiiittul. It wan inudu after be had
onscutcd Monday afternoon to a stipulation regarding the serving of
the notice on M. F. Huuley, regarding the sociul tc i of court. Had he
not consented to wnivo certain technical mat tern it would have been noo
ccHMary to have called another Hjiacinl term, which would have been donj
with a loss of 10 or 15 day. ' Hut that he in not yet through flghtiu,;
is evidenced by his Htiitoinetit that h j ban yet u body blow to deliver.
Two courses are open to Attorney Retimes. One in that bo apply to
the circuit court immediately after the special session comes to n close
for an injunction to restrain tho city from entering uHn the ff'anloy land
on the ground that the culling of the special term is unconstitutional. The
other in that ho uttaek tho water right of the Fish Luko Ditch Com
pany, and enjoin the city from turning the water of Little Butte Creek
into the gravity water system after it is completed.
It is evident that if Attorney
Kennies persists in his endeavorH to
block the city of Modford on behalf
of his client M. F. Hanloy. that the
city will have gained but little in hav
ing the sM'ciul term of court held in
this district, llelwcen the courses
open to him. it is probable that ho
will choose the one which will enjoin
the city from entering upon tho Hun
ley prumisuH nftor tho damages have
been assessed by tho special term of
court.'
Here then, is the procedure to block
the city. As soon ns a judgement U
entered by Judge Coko, and the spec
ial term iH ended, un injunction
will be asked for to enjoin the city
from entering upon the Hanloy prem
ises upon tho ground thnt the calling
and holding of the special term of
court was unconstitutional. Then it
temporary injunction is issued until
the case can bo tried in tho Septem
ber torm of court, which will prob
ably be reached sometime in October,
owing to tha congested condition of
(tie calendar. When tho cqso is
hoard, if the injunction is disolvcu,
well and good, but if it is made per
manent, tho case will have to be car
ried to tho Supreme Court, which will
mean nnothor delay.
On tho othor hand, if Attorney
Retimes doeiods to fight tho Fish Lokc
Ditch Company regarding the water
rights, tho city will be ennbled to
build tho pipe line, but will probably
he enjoined from turning the water
into the system until such tiifio as tho
ciiro is tried out between TIanlcy and
tho Fish Lnko Ditch Company.
So no mnltor which particular
"body blow" Koamcs cures to uso, it
seems that tho city will use time.
The fact ' that Attornoy Itenmos
would not appcur in tho proceedings
in Jacksonville on Monday, oxcopt as
an outsido attorney, indicates that he
will Book to onjoiu tho city from tak
ing advnntngo of tho Bpoeinl torm of
court, on tho ground that it was nn-1 K.' B. Wise and C. Tilloti, of Port
