Personal Debate Over Ditch, Water, ect.
Walter Darling and Oscar Bryant, two farmers living four miles north of ton, had a debate between themselves over water rights last Wednesday evening. Shovels and fists were the chief arguments used, and judge Fuller will be called upon today to act as referee in the colliloquy. Each of the debaters carries a black and blue spot as a result of the difficulty. An irrigated country does not seem to be the right sort of location for neighbors to live up to the scriptural injunction, "Behold how good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity." Deputy sheriff Chapman says there are more personal scraps in and around Gooding than any other place in the country, which shows there is a good lively bunch here - Idaho Leader.

DIED SUDDENLY
O. M. Darling Drops Dead at Home of His Son.
From the Gooding Idaho Leader:
O. M. Darling, father of the Darling boys living north of Gooding dropped dead early Sunday at the home of his son Walter Darling. Deceased was 64 years of age, left his old home in Norton, Kan., last fall and came to Gooding. From here he went to the coast, where he spent the winter, and only a few days before his death he came to Gooding to make his home. He expected to buy land and establish his home, but the hand of death interferred with the man-made plans, and death came as a sudden summons. Burial was had in the new cemetery Wednesday, after services which were held in the Christian church by Cliff K. Titus. The deceased was a member of the Christian church in Kansas. The funeral was largely attended by the legion of old Norton people, and by the friends and neighbors of the relatives of the deceased about Gooding. Two sons, Walter and Ernest, and a daughter, Miss Florence Darling survive in Gooding. Orville M. Darling was born in Macon County, Illinois, in 1850, and is survived by his wife and five children. He united with the Christian church early in life, and has lived consistently in the faith in all the years since. A man of broad ideas, clear conceptions of duty, and unswerving integrity, he held the respect of his acquaintances everywhere he was known. His death is a distinct shock to not only the members of his family, but to his acquaintances as well.
