[This posting is IN PROGRESS - no scanner and OCR software I've found
has been able to convert my photocopy, or any other photocopy, of this
finding precisely. Thus, it's been very difficult to clean up the
scanned result. I have proofed all the text pages up to about page 231
and am working on the rest.
This is a transcription from the published Decree Book, which was
printed and widely distributed after the completion of the work of
the Special Master. While the findings may have changed by the time
the final decree was issued in 1930, I've not yet found it, nor have
I found a version of the Findings signed by the Judge if there ever
was one.
I've made every effort to present the content precisely, but not the form.
If you find mistakes, please point them out. I've found mistakes in the
printed package, so don't accept the legal descriptions of land without
challenge.

IN THE
Northern District
OF THE
United States District Court
FOR THE
Northern District of California
Second Division
________
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Plaintiff,
vs.
H. C. ANGLE, et al.,
Defendants.
IN EQUITY
No. 30
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS
OF LAW.
This is an equity suit brought by the United States
by the direction and under the authority of the
Attorney General. The jurisdiction of this court rests
upon the fact that the United States is plaintiff in
the cause, and that the subject matter thereof is
situate within the Northern Division of the United
States District Court for the Northern District of
California. The proceeding has for its purpose a
determination and adjudication of the relative rights
of the various parties in and to the waters of Stony
Creek and its tributaries. As an incident of this purpose
it is sought to establish a regimen on the stream
2
whereby the stored waters of the plaintiff may be
piloted, from their place of storage, down the channel
of Little Stony and Stony Creeks and past of the diversions
and ditches of certain of the defendants, to their
place of diversion for distribution.
The original complaint was directed against, and
named as defendants in the cause, some 39 owners
or occupants of irrigated lands whose intakes or
headworks tapped the stream between the plaintiff's
storage dam and the diversion points of its distributing
canals; this 40 mile course of the stream channel being
used as a conduit for the conveyance of plaintiff's
stored supply to its place of use.*

*See the general or key map, designated "Plate I", which is interposed at
the conclusion of these findings. It reveals the larger aspects of the physical
situation in Stony Creek watershed and, with its markings and explanatory
legend, reproduces the outstanding features of the illustrative wall maps
used at the hearings (Plaintiff's Exhibits No. 1 and No. 2).
- - - - - - - -
Plaintiff, in
addition to its showing and prayer in said complaint for
an adjudication of the rights of the parties, presented
certain facts of current import and asked for certain
summary remedies pendente lite in the matter of
unlawful drafts upon, and the safe pilotage of its said
stored supply; and thereupon, after due notice to
defendants and a hearing before the judge of this court,
orders were made herein enjoining said defendants
from diverting such stored water from the stream,
and appointing a water commissioner to measure and
regulate the diversions of defendants so as to confine
and limit same to the natural flow thereof.
Thereafter by way of an amended complaint, and
various orders of court making new parties defendant,
3
together with substitutions or other voluntary
appearances, the suit was enlarged to include in all nearly
600 parties defendant, who had or were purported to
have claims or rights in or to the waters of Stony Creek or its
tributaries; and as these matters transpired
provision was made for the continuance of the
preliminary injunction above described, and of the
appointment and administration of the water commissioner,
as same affected the defendants first named
and their successors in interest.
Orders pro confesso as against defendants failing to
plead or answer, disclaimers by others, dismissals, or
other disposals and eliminations, as more particularly
set out in these findings, accounted for some 457 of
these defendants. The presentation of answers by the
other defendants, and the filing of replies thereto by
plaintiff, accomplished a settlement of the pleadings
in the cause and enabled same to be set down for trial.
The petition of plaintiff to this end, dated and noticed
to defendants on the 31st day of May, 1922, and heard
at Sacramento on the 24th day of June of that year,
was followed by an order of this court, dated June
28th, 1922, referring the cause to George E. McCutchen,
Esq., of Sacramento, as Master pro hac vice, with the
usual general power to hear the testimony and
evidence and receive the proofs, and to make his report
thereon to the court in the form of findings of fact
and conclusions of law; the proceedings before him,
and the testimony, evidence and proof, to be duly
recorded and preserved and submitted with his said
report,
4
Thereupon the Special Master, in accord with the
order of the court aforesaid, proceeded to hear the
testimony and evidence, and to receive the proofs
herein, as offered and adduced by the parties plaintiff
and defendant, and caused the proceedings before
him, and the testimony, evidence and proofs, to be
duly recorded and preserved. Briefs and oral
argument on the part of plaintiff and defendants having
been submitted at his request and duly considered, the
Special Master made and recorded his first determinations
herein in the form of findings of fact and
conclusions of law, and, in pursuance of the rules of court
relating to such matters, submitted said determinations
to the solicitors of record herein, who duly filed such
objections thereto and suggestions for the amendment
thereof, and supported same by such brief and argument,
as by them deemed appropriate.
After considering and ruling upon such objections
and suggestions the Special Master made up and
recorded his final determinations herein in the form of
findings of fact and conclusions of law, and duly
reported same to this court, together with the full record
of the proceedings before him, including a transcript
of the testimony and evidence, and all exhibits and
documentary proofs received at the trial, with the
aforesaid objections and suggestions and briefs thereon.
And the court, being duly advised in the premises,
and having received and considered the said report of
the Special Master and the said record of the
proocedings before him, and having further received and
5
considered such exceptions to said final report as were
properly filed and presented to the court by the parties
through their solicitors, with such argument and briefs
as were submitted in support thereof, and having ruled
upon said exceptions, doth now first and make and enter
herein its

John M. Morris and Preston Morris, but is
relieved of said debarment and estoppel only in so far

Stony Creek and its tributaries as may have
been previously asserted or claimed by said John M.
Morris and Preston Morris, which said claim is
determined and adjudicated herein.

finding of fact, and the persons, estates, interests
and ownerships, and each of them, represented by
such of said defendants as may have been sued in a

plaintiff and defendant herein or their rights as same
may be determined and decreed herein, or any thereof,
do not have or own, and they and their assigns and
successors in interest are forever debarred and
estopped from claiming or as asserting, for or on account
of any or any part of the lands owned or represented
by them, as set out in said finding, or at all, any right,
title or interest in or to any of the waters or use of
any of the waters of the particular stream or streams
therein found to touch or traverse said lands or some
part thereof, or in or to any of the waters or use of
any of the waters of Stony Creek or its tributaries for
any purposes, or for or on account of said lands or any
lands, whether said creek or a tributary or tributaries
thereof touch or traverse the same or some part thereof,
or otherwise; excepting that M. G. Bedford is
relieved of the foregoing holding to the extent of such
right as may be decreed to him in pursuance of his
substitution for defendant L. Bedford as recited in

Finding of Fact.
That the 9 defendants named in the following
tabulation have also presented and filed disclaimers
herein, therein and thereby disclaiming any and all right,
title or interest in or to the waters of Stony Creek or
its tributaries or any part thereof; that the lands
described under each defendant's name in said tabulation
are hereby found to have been owned by that
defendant at the time of service of original process
upon him and at the time of the making and filing
of his disclaimer herein, except as otherwise stated
and hereby found in the notes appearing under certain
of said names; that the stream or streams of the Stony
Creek System (the designation "tributary" being
used for tributaries without names) listed under the
names of each of said defendants in said tabulation
were at such times and are in each instance possible
sources of supply (if water should be available therein
and its diversion and use practicable) for the irrigation
of or other use upon said lands, or part thereof, but
did and do not touch or traverse same or any part
thereof; that said lands or some part thereof in some
instances, and particularly where situate in the higher
38
reaches of the watershed, may be and perhaps are
touched or traversed by one or more small tributaries,
although no definite proof thereof is available herein;
that the tabulation made part of this finding as
