THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



of Judge W. H. Westover of Nebraska. 

 The case has gone to the state su- 

 preme court on appeal by Nathan 

 Broadhurst, against Andrew and Eva 

 Vetter. 



Broadhurst and the Vetters own 

 neighboring farms in' Dawes county, 

 and a stream known as West Ash 

 creek runs through the land of both. 



Some time ago Broadhurst formed 

 a plan to irrigate a part of his farm 

 by building a dam across West Ash 

 creek about seven feet high and 100 

 feet long, which would create a reser- 

 voir of twenty-five acres in extent. 

 Five acres of this would have to be 

 taken out of the lower portion of 

 the Vetter farm, as the dam would 

 back water up upon that tract. 



How to Make Farming Pay 



Broadhurst sought to condemn this 

 land, his project having been ap- 

 proved by the state board, and the 

 suit followed. 



changing its place of business to Dal- 

 las and reducing its capital stock from 

 $75,000 to $7,500.
