Red Arrow case
Judge J. B. O’Rourke was over from Durango Saturday and rendered his decision on the famous Red Arrow case in a brief session of district court at Cortez. The decision was in favor of the defendant, he having overruled the motion for a new trial. The Red Arrow mind owners were sued by a man named Whipple for an interest in the mine on the charge that he had been fraudulently induced to sell his interest to the Starrs. The court failed to see where there had been any fraud and refused to grant a new trial.
Summit Reservoir bonds
The Summit Reservoir and Irrigation company voted at the meeting of its stockholders to issue bonds in the amount of $53,500 to increase the storage capacity of its reservoir. The money is to be obtained from the reconstruction finance corporation which has already approved the loan. The capacity of the reservoir will be doubled by the improvement. The reservoir obtains its waters from Lost Canyon creek which empties into the Dolores river.
