A friend writes him from Buffalo
that “the rustlers swear vengeance
I against you f« r taking their cat-I
h’e.” Another Buffalo man writes'
‘that three Buffalo men who are
[of good standing, and nine rust
ler* •"held a meeting last night
[and I think employed Burritt to
tight the commission.” The three
men who are not rustlers are in
terested because stock purchased
I by them from rustlersand shipped
1 to market were seized by the in
spectors. Two of these men are i
Foote and Smith, and the lawyer
employed, C. 11. Burritt, is one of
the best in Buffalo.
Our Excellent Water Law.
After a season's experience, the
value of Wyoming’s irrigation law
is beginning to be appreciated
fully. The* census bureau has
highly commended it ns to theory
and praised its fairness to all. The
Laramie Boomerang thus points
out important advantages of the
| law: “The expense of adjudicat
ing water rights in the courts was
formerly so costly Hint this new
law was drafted. This was true
along Horse and Cow creeks where
over §20,000 had been spent in the
courts without the best of results.
People could not stand this ex
pense and rather than do it they
would go out and protect their
rights with a shotgun. Water Sup
erintendent Johnson took some
testimony in Uinta county recent
ly and when he had finished nil
the interested parties agreed in
reference to the adjudication of
the rights. More was accomplished
there at an expense of SIOO to the
State than was accomplished on
1 Cow and Horse creek for *5,000,
to the individuals.”
