Farmers seek injunction over Bijou ditch water rights dispute
Morgan county farmers led by A. D. Bennett and John T. Ross ask a court for a temporary injunction to halt further water rights sales by Bijou Irrigation Company. They allege misused funds, unfinished reservoirs Bijou No 1 and No 2, and improper transfers to Fort Morgan Farm and Mortgage Company and others. They seek cancelation of improper shares and a receiver to run the system for contracted farmers.
