DEFIES

Outlaw Diets Is to be Kllloi by Auth-
orltles is the Decree.
Winter, Wis., Oct 4 Armed depu
ties today surrounded the cabin of
John Dletz and demanded his sur
render. Unless he does bo officers are
determined to riddle the cabin with
bullets, despite the fact that DIetz'B
wife' arid three children are within.
Dietz, the officers say, is an outlaw.
The cabin is situated near the Camer
on Dam and the decision to storm it,
came after the man's boast that he
would come to Winter and kill every
man who took part In the ambuscade,
which resulted in the fatal wounding
of Myra Deltz, aged 23, who Is dying
in a local hospital, and the capture of
one of her brothers. The other broth
er escaped.
Deitz has had trouble with the lum
ber company which claimed the home
stead Deitz occupied. He refused to
vacate and the officers were called
upon to force him. Several deputies
went to arrest him but lacked the
courage to serve the warrant. Finally
an ambuscade was planned, which re
sulted In the fight Deltz swore ven
geance. '
The trouble started eight years ago.
At that time the state offered large
rewards for the man who would dare
to serve a warrant of arrest on the
cablneer. He moved out of the woods
on a log raft which was anchored
there, and fired to kill at anyone who
attempted to come near. Finally he
was starved off the raft and has lived
in a cabin on the disputed homestead
for about seven years, an no one in
Wisconsin dares approach too close
to the place, for he shoots without
warning. Many have met instant death
at his hands already during the eight
or nine years which the dispute has
lasted.

and state factional Issues and sent
them up Salt creek to Bay there un
til after the November elections at
least Republican "top'-to-bottom"
belts were buckled on by every cen
tral committeeman and the entire
slate will be helped, along until the
votes are cast. l'
Peare Elected Chairman.
It was an unusually enthusiastic
meeting. Representation In personJn
cluded every corner of the county and
It was with perfect harmony that the
committeemen elected their officers
for the ensuing term. J. H. Peare, re
tiring chairman was re-elected with
out a dissenting voice and' J. H. Ma

as secretary under similar conditions.
Election of an executive committee of
which the chairman and secretary are
ex-offlclo members followed To this
important committee, J. D. Casey, Chet
Bldwell and R. C. Mays were named.
Incidentally, during the course of the
meeting, the old officers, were warmly
complimented for the energetic man
ner In which the affairs of the commit
tee had been carried on and for the
bueiness-llfe manner of notatlng the"
financial expenditures during the past
two years.
Meeting Marked With Vigor.
It was a vigorous meeting In every
sense of the word. There were several
new members on the committee and
asiong them are eood oldtlme. staunch
Republicans who averred with plenty
of emphasis that they are out to make

and instead of Introducing and pro
mulgating such issues, the committee
members returned to theiwrespectlve
domiciles to work unceasingly, for the
welfare of the republican party be
tween now and the day of the general
election. 1 ,
Assembly Plan Discussed.
There was liberal discussion of the
assembly plan, but the general tone
of the speeches pro and con was that
the assembly is right now immaterial,
that the republicans have named their
choices and the logical course to pur
sue at this time Is to stand by what
the republicans have done. And this
will be done with all the vieor that
the committeemen can muster. The old1
and new members alike are. influen

Influence for harmony will bear fruit,
it Is agreed. With the committee tun
ed to perfect harmony and carrying
the battle cry of "top-to-hnttnm

be surprising If a single democrat
gets away with an office In this county.
Other Officials Named.
Aside from molding the committees
policy, the members present elected
the state and congressional delegates.
C. E. Cochran was named state cen
tral committeeman and R. C. Mays of
Elgin was given the congressional
committeeship.
Mr. Mays, enthused and confident,
John McRae of Summerville, and sev

death to factionalism. .
