The court settles a long dispute over water rights linked to the Cook Hughes ditch and Western Drainage company.

Citizens back a proposed 100 mile electric line promoted by George J. Spear to connect Greeley with Ault Eaton Windsor Evans LaSalle and nearby towns. The route would pass through Pleasant Valley Big Thompson and Highland Lake areas with farms benefiting from lower freight costs and closer access to warehouses factories and major rail lines.
The court affirmed a 1883 decree setting 98.56 cubic feet as the decreed appropriation and ruled non use for a short period did not prove abandonment. It said using water on additional and distant lands did not injure the plaintiff, and that expanding use was not an excess of the decree. James W. McCreery led for the plaintiff with Charles D. Toda for the defendant Western Ditch.

William Wilson of St. Louis endorses the project as a strong investment, noting regional potential beyond eastern electric lines.
