Sixth The court instructayou that if you tind from a preponderence of the evidence that the plaintiff complied with the law as in the preceding instruc tions and acquired the right to the use of the water of Reservation creek there by and that since that time he has main tained his ditches, heedgates and fumes and continued to use the water for bene ficial purposes upon his laud during the irrigation season ot each year until in terfered with or obstructed from so do leg by the defendant, then and in that event you will find for the plaintiff, not withstanding the defendant might have complied with the law as to the acquir ment of a water right, if you find that the dfendant's rights were acquired subsequent to those of the plaintiff, be cause the law is first in time, tirst in right. Seventh --The court instructs you that in matters of water rights the first one in time, is in the law first in right. other things being equal; and in this connec tio, if you tied that the plaintiff ac quired his right prior to that of the de fendant, although the defendant might have complied with the law, yet you shall nevertheless fald for the plaintif, it you find him a preponderance of the evidence that defendant interfered with and obstructed the plaintifts rights in the premises. Eighth-After citing the provisions of the state cossitation this instruction says: Under the provlildn of the state osetitution no persn by tiling a claim upon the waters of a sream can thereby keep other persons ftm using water trom such stream, which such person does not need for his own use and jo vide ,eans and appliances for using or beneficial purposes, and even though such prior appropriator may have means of applying sech water and have for the same, yet if there are waters in such stream which the pri approprito can I not ame, bat ame other pesn can use. t wu·; t h" lat te i st b a t tile- I" ob r 1 inn l,<' tI h elt ,if .r thrL.

Fifteenith .lthe jury are iistruitted that ilf you believe from the evidlence that there is water flolwing in eserva tion creek at the datal andl ditch of de fendant Lewis during the irrigation mela son. which if -(lwrmnitte.1 to run in the ted of said stream would not reach the headgate of the plaintiff. Mace. then the defendant is entitled to the use of such water to the greatest amuount which the jury may believe from the evidence would run at the dam and ditch of the defendant. and would not reach the headgate of the plaintiff, and even though the jury may find from the evi deuce that the plaintiff. Mace, is entitled to a priority of water right over the de fendant Lewis. yet if there is water in said creek which would be available to the defendant for the purposes of irri gatin, and would not beavailable tothe plaintiff, then the defendant would be entitled to such of the water from said creek as would not be of benellcial use to the plaintiff. Sixteenth-Tbe jury are instructed that although you may believe from the evidence that the plaintiff filed a water right in the ofice of the county clerk of Custer county in 186.claimingthb right to divert 3000 inches do water from Rse ervation creek, yet all that the plaintff is entitled to under such claim of right is the amount of water which he had actually appropriated and was using or needing and prepared to use. at the time the defendant tiled his ater right. and was ready by mesas of ditch and dam to use water from said creek to which the said plaintiff was not etitld;and in de termining the plaintiff's right in such filing, be could not go beyond the amount which he was prepared by his dam and headgate and ditch to carry from said creek, and if at the time the defendant was prepared under the law, to use water from such dich, the plain tiff bad a dam and headgate and ditch suJc.ent to carry only 44 inches of water, then the plaintiff could not claim, after the rights at defendant had inter vened maoe thau the said 40 inches of water. Nor could the plaintiff claim to the amount of 46t inches. nor any other amount greater than )l was prepared to use for beneticial purpoes. Seventeenth-The court instructs yes upon the question of damages. i yo find that the plaintid has the-prier ad and better right to the the water, , and if ye. flther ISa.tlt he ha es o ,,; er tt,[ . niI. tti.*+l l iHI. fESi, te. ,tl If ,tu t l that e th ,e '1 lHtei ntit'. t r., r. + .. er d 1 , `r i,;r ,l - riatin. v !ý+ tari -es.rl e d ,lof ti, tight ii tht'e nde rtijn en -wnt of the waters of i- ite.rantion rwek. then s.iu must li'td n for the lli.t? ani l'signatet' the nriin l"r to inIheis he is entitled to the wat t ers of said It'eservation cee-ik. jy Ninteenth The court instructs you r that if you find from a preinpoderance . of the evidence that the plaintiff has Sthe prior an.d litter right to the use artl ienj oy nient of all the waters of Res ervation creek, then and in that event, She is entitled to have the water flow in s its natiral twd. and if you timn that the ilefendant diverted the water from the nlattural course of the stream, you will find for the plaintiff for all damages re suIting froml such diverson. provided Styou tied the ilaintiff p oissess eof the bet ter right to t the water hy prior approp r it io. and was actuallydlamagedthere rt ci even if you tind the defendant made no use tfr the water so diverted.
