Edward Douglass White, United States v. Krall — Opinion of the Court
“ It is charged in the assignment of errors that the decision of the court of appeals was erroneous-First, because it recognized the right of the defendant to acquire a water right as against the United States; and, second, because it held that the water right of the defendant, which originated after the establishment of the reservation, could deprive the reservation of water necessary for its purposes. ”
Edward Douglass White, United States v. Krall — Opinion of the Court
“ Before considering the assignments, however, we are met on the threshold of the case with the question whether the record is properly here, because of the want of finality of the judgment rendered by the circuit court of appeals. ”
Edward Douglass White, United States v. Krall — Opinion of the Court
“ He alleged that, pursuant to the laws of the territory of Idaho, in 1877, he had located a perpetual water right for 500 cubic inches of water, at a point on the stream above the place where it flowed through the reservation, and that this location of water right was sanctioned by the laws of the United States. ”
