SUPREME COURT DECISION
ON WATER RIGHT CASE.
K. O.i Halter,-appellant,' Tarsus J.
II. Garrett, respondent, from Oiook
county, W. L. B, radshaw, Judge; re
versed aud remanded. Opinion by
Chief Justice Moore.
This was a suit to edjblu Interfer
ence with (low of water lu Trout
creek, iu the eastern part of Crook
county. Plaintiff was a prior appro
prlator aud defendant sought to
matutalu his right to take' water by
alleging that plalutitr stood by
xileiitly aud saw him spending money
lu building ditches to divert water
frum the creek. The decree lu the
court below, among other things,
awarded defendant enough ,WBter at
all times to irrigate his orchard, ,iuid
garden aud ordered that when the
supply Is iusuUloleut for both liners
it shall be divided so that each .will
hare enough, for, thelr'gurdeus aud
urchaidri. Tm decree did nut specify
the amount, which cither party Is en
titled to.
Tho. supreme court holds that a
person entitled to the use or water
cannot be deprived thereof by merely
seeing another constructing a ditch
and- making no objection thereto
uutil the division Is completed, fur
ho may believe that the second
appropriator Intends to take the stir
plus water. ''The- plaintiff, being
the prior appropriator, is entitled to
the use of' all 'thV 'water in Trout
creek, if. peoessary, to .irrigate bl
crops, orchard and garden, but what
quantity may be required ia diffloult
to determine 'from, the transcript."
The court refuses to consent to- an
estimate of eight to twelve Inches to
an aore. The opinion remarks that
care must be exercised. In, using water
and that the right of the prior ap
propilatorHmust be protected, but
only to the extent of his reasonable'
use, after supplying which, the sur
plus should be distributed to subse
quent claimants lu the order of their
respective appropriations. The case
Is remanded with Instructions to take
further testimony iu relation to the
hunutlty of witter necessary and to
nard rights accordingly. Exchange,
