The article discusses the efforts of Utah Mormon Israel Bennion to resolve a conflict over water distribution in the Mormon village of Vernon in Utah Territory between 1893 and 1896. It examines economic development in Utah and changes to water access for non-Mormons not administered by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), the actions of then-Vernon LDS bishop John C. Sharp, and irrigation systems in Vernon.
