Description
Charles Bentrup brought this action against Garden City Company, a corporation, and its subsidiary, United States Irrigating Company, a corporation, to recover damages for loss of crops resulting from the seepage of water on the plaintiffs land from a reservoir owned by the defendants. The complaint charged two elements of negligence: one, maintaining the water in the reservoir at such a high level over long periods of time that the pressure from the water caused the natural underground water table to rise sufficiently so as to appear at or near the surface of the plaintiffs land, and two, failing to maintain the dikes and bottom of the reservoir in a condition to prevent seepage.The case was tried to a jury which returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff. This appeal is from a judgment entered upon that verdict.
