INS BIG CASE ALI EN DITCH COMPANY WAS OP1 ON EXT Litigation Was Over Taking Water From River by Rotli Companies Rct Attorneys in ftate Opivosed Each Other in Case. By a decision handed down yester day by Judge Burnett of the supreme couft "Vf the state, the Henrietta Mill ing company of Echo, has finally won out in its f gnt ror water against the Allen Ditch company, which fight has extended over several years, with some of the best attorneys in the state opposed to each other. Copies of the decision have not yet been re ceived by the local lawyers interested and until they do its exact nature will not be known. The Allen Ditch company, at the time of the commencement of the litigation was taking water from the river near the mouth of Alkali can yon about a half mile below Echo and alleged ln the complaint that it owned a right to 1080 inches. The ditch company first brought an in junction suit against the miling com pany, whih was taking water' from the river above the intake of the ditch, restraining the latter company from diverting the waters. The milling company resisted the granting of this injunction, claiming their right was prior to that of the ditch company. A long lawsuit fol lowed in which a month was required for the submission of testimony. Fi nally Judge Bean handed down a compromise decision, holding that the ditch company's right was prior but only allowing it 500 inches instead of 1080. From this decision, the attorneys for the Henrietta Mills appealed to the supreme court alleging, not only that such right as the ditch company claimed was not prior but also that the company had no legal right at all. Whether the supreme court rul ed that the right of the company was not prior or that it possesses no right is not yet known. The title of the suit was Fred An drews et al vs. Frank Donnely et al, Andrews being president of the Allen Ditch company and Donnely being record holder for the Henrietta Mills.
