Show THE COURTS Years and years ago, it seems a3 if it were when "Tex" was a pup, there was a water suit tried in Beaver, Bea-ver, before Judge Burton was judge, and before Judge Knox was judge must have been in the first year of Judge Morris' term, anyway it was years ago. Pome of the attorneys have passed either to other lands or to the great beyond. A faint remembrance remem-brance tells me it was something about water and waterrights. The defendant in the suit, I believe has gone broke, its successors have come and gone, many of the plaintiffs have died or sold, or moved, and still the case is in the courts in the Supreme court of the great State of Utah, where it has been slumbering for, lo, these many years, and the -tipreme court members have evidently evi-dently slumberedi too some v.Lo ware on the bench at the time tier, case went "up" have passed, oth'-r-vwjre passed and terms of ollice expired, ex-pired, (the term of a justice of th-i Supreme court is only len years) and; new members have come and more will come, and still the ca.se is unde-j "ided and the progress of one of tlit j richest and most beautiful valleys i:i ail Utah, is being seriously retarded and many of its people are becoming becom-ing discouraged and joining the "Bob Cat" party in their criticism of the courts of the land. California has a law which stops a judge's salary If he d'oes not keep his work up wil:'.i:i a reasonable time and th- law states what shall be ci idered such neglect, such disregard of the people's interests by the courts In making discontent ami followers for the "Bob-Cat" party. |
