[Avodah] Water bottle in the desert

[Rich, Joel]

Reuvain has his water bottle and there's not enough for him and shimon. Halacha is like Rabbi Akiva that reuvain keeps and shimon dies.
But what if shimon takes the water bottle with a claim that reuvain owes him money and let bet din decide.  Does reuvain have the right to kill shimon if that's the only way to get the water back? what if shimon has no claim other than he wants to live?
