Opinion
No. 6801.
March 11, 1941.
APPEAL from the District Court of the Third Judicial District for Ada County. Hon. Charles E. Winstead, Judge.
Action to adjudicate the respective water rights of the parties to the waters of Black's Creek and for the removal of a certain dam therefrom. Judgment for plaintiff. Affirmed.
Elam Burke and Thomas L. Martin, for Appellants.
Davison Davison and Edwin Snow, for Respondents.
This action involves respective water rights, claimed by appellant and respondents in Black's Creek, alias Ten-Mile Creek, conflicting as to priority both in time and amount.
The assignments of error challenge only the findings of fact; thus, issues of fact alone are the essence of the controversy.
The evidence, though conflicting, is sufficient to sustain the findings of fact and the judgment is therefore affirmed. ( Evans v. Davidson, 58 Idaho 600, 77 P.2d 661; In re Randall's Estate, 58 Idaho 143, 70 P.2d 389; Eaton v. McWilliams, 52 Idaho 145, 12 P.2d 259; Walker v. Jackson, 48 Idaho 18, 279 P. 293; Eastwood v.
