O. T. Jones and Ruby I. Jones v. Big Lost

This appeal is from a final judgment entered against the appellants (plaintiffs) in an action for damages to appellants' crops
in 1959 based upon the alleged failure of the respondent (defendant) irrigation district to deliver water to the appellants.
The action was tried to the court sitting without a jury. The appellants' property in question is located entirely outside the boundary of the respondent irrigation district, lying
some four to five miles to the south. The property is located at the end of the Arco Canal. The Arco Canal is about five miles
long and about one-half of its length is outside the district and about one-half is inside. The evidence reveals that although
the respondent is primarily an irrigation district it does have some additional duties which cause it to function as a ditch
company.
