One Militiaman and One Dietz Boy
Wounded In Fusillade Climax
of Two Tears' Resistance to
Logging Company.
MILWAUKEE, Wis., July 26. (Spe
cial.) Dispatches received tonight re
port the capture of Joan Dietz, the
homesteader, who has held the Cameron
dam on Thornapple River, In Sawyer
County, against the combined power
of the Mississippi Logging Company,
the state and Federal Governments for
the last two years. The stories are con
flicting, but all agree that a sharp bat
tle took place today at the Dietz home
between Dietz and his family on the
one side and Sheriff Gylland and a posse
of half a dozen militiamen on the other.
Sheriff's Ambiguous Message.
One of the Sheriff's men was shot
three times and seriously, though not
fatally wounded, and Clarence D'.ets, a
son of the doughty homesteader, was
shot through the head.
A message from Hayward says the
Sheriff telegraphed that he had a hard
battle and ended by saying that he
would return "as Boon as he could get
his man out." This is taken by some
to mean Dietz and by others to mean
the wounded deputy.
Dietz Family in Battle.
One account of the battle is that as
soon as the Sheriff and posse came In
sight of the Dietz cabin, Dietz, his wife,
two sons and one daughter, came out
armed with rifles. After the first volley
from the Diets side, one of the militia
men fell, wounded, bullets having
struck him In the ankle, hip and neck.
The fusillade was returned by the mi
litiamen and, when the smoke had
cleared away. It was seen that Clarence
Dietz had fallen. Then the posse retired
behind stumps and trees and for over
an hour the battle lasted. Fully 153
shots were tired.
When It was seen that Dietz was deter
mined not to give up, the Sheriff and his
posse retired to the Mississippi River Log
ging Company's camp at Cameron dam,
half a mile from Dietz' cabin. There they
prepared for a second attack, which, it
is said, was successful.
Held tlie Fort Two Years.
Dietz has stopped all lumbering on the
Thornapple River for the last two years.
He held that the logging company had no
right to run logs through his farm unless
It paid for the privilege. He demanded
$10,000 and the company laughed at him.
It proceeded with the usual drive and
brought down 20,000.000 feet of logs to the
Cameron dam. There the men found
Dietz fortified. He notified the foreman
that, if an attempt was made to open
the sluiceways and run the logs, he would
open lire. As he is a dead shot with a
rifle, no one was Inclined to take the Job.
No Power Could Move Him.
Arguments, threats and coaxing all fell
on deaf ears. There Dietz stood until to
day, and he may still be etanding thete,
gaunt, grim and defiant, one nervy man
contending for his rights against any
force' that may be sent against him.
Sheriffs have tried to get him. United
States Marshals have tried to serve papers
on him; all sorts of devices have been
tried, but no service has been made. Part
of his tttrength came from the friendship
f his ' neighbors for miles in every di
rection, who warned him of approaching
-enemies.

ated tonight that the proposition to
