Trouble in sawmill District in Chippewa

Exciting.

Chippewa Falls, Wis, May 16.-Rv
reason Of the trouble at Cameron Dam,
some Of the sawmills in the Chippewa
valley may have to shut down should
Dietz be allowed to hold up the drive
much longer. All men employed on the
drive by the Chippewa Lumber and
Boom company, arrived here TODAY
none desiring to remain as targets for
Dletz, after being laid off. Sixty men
started today from Cameron junction
with orders to capture Dietz dead or
alive.
In an interview Judge Parish said:
1T Is not now g question of disn1te
between Dietz and the Chippewa Lufn-
Der and Boom company. but Dietz and
the court. Dietz has disobeyed an in
junction. Since then he has wounded
two men. He must be brought to
justice at once
Milwaukee, May 16.-A Sentinel spe-
cial from Hayward, Wis, a y
Sheriff Peterson has not as yet made
any request upon the governor for he
militia to help capture Dietz. Peterson
is now on the lower Chippewa making
an effort with his own force to make
the capture. Responsible citizens here
wired the governor in Peterson's name
for guns and ammunition, and these
were promptly forwarded from Camp
Douglass.
1T was the intention to arm some Of
the employees Of the lumber company,
but before the guns were fairly out Of
hayward on their way to the dam
Deputy Giblin was met on his way with
word that the company had let it's men
GO. The guns were returned to Hay
ward, and are now being held for furth-
er orders"

A NAVAL. SUCCESS
russians Succeed in Gripping a Japan
csc Cruiser, But Do Not Sink Il.

Lao Yang, Saturday, May 14.-De-
layed il misunderstanding Russian
fleet scored its first distinct naval sue
cess Of the war on May 10 by the tor
pedoinS and Gripping. though not the
sinking, of an armOred ruiSe in
Talicn Wan bay.
The Russian attack was carefully
planned on May 10, while the Japanese
squadron was concentrated outside
Dalny, deVOting its whole attention to
Iaiien Wal bay, and was carried out
the same night.
The attacking force was not a regu-
lar torpedo boat, but was only a small
naptna launch in command Of a young
AVA officer, who had with him three
jaCkies. The launch mounted q small
machine gun, II carried three tOrpe-
does.
When darkness fell the launch 1rept
out of Port Arthur, hugging the shore,
with no lights aboard and no glow
from the engines to bctray her pres
ence. 1t was late when she gained the
outer line OF the Japanese squadron.
Slipping through the torpedoboat pick
cts and selecting the nearest warship,
q big arfnOred cruiser, she stole toward
her and succeeded in exploding against
her side Il single torOpedo. A deafen-
ing @ a followed the explosion, which
echoed far ashore. Immediately flames
c1veloped the cruiser, which evidently
was badly crippled.
The crew OF the cruiser was seen to
be fighting tha fire, which 1t at last
succeeded in cXtinguishing, a sister
ship took the damaged vessel in tow
ana disappeared TO the southeast.
The launch escaped the hot fire di-
rected against her by the japanese
ships, but being unable to return to

Cleveland, O., May 16.-President Xiv,

citation, issued u lengthy statement con-
corning the four weeks conference
which ended in a total failure to agree

of the last session, when the advisory

listening to the arguments of the own
ers, agreed that the offer Of last years
wages was fair, II that they would

bors and use every effort to nave it &C

action on the part of the advisory board
would result in a settlement, SO much,
SO. indeed, that the manager of The
largest fleet announced his appoint
mentS of masters. To his great sur
prise, he was notified this morning by
District Captain Howell that none OF
his masters would appear.

Withdrawn from the race. Folk, how

When the prosecutor stepped upon
the platform he was greeted with
cheers and luSty shouts that could be
heard for blocks. Umbrellas, hats and
handkerchiofs We're waved in the air,
and the chairman, J.. NJ. Lowe, was
hardly able to restore order lang
enough to say a few words of introduc-
ton. again and again the people rose
in their seats and cheered, and when
MI. Folk stepped forward the applause
and cheers continued for fifty seconds
Reed Remained Away.
The politicians who have been identi-
ned closely with the Reed faction
stayed away. 1t was reported that M.
Reed would sit upon the platform, but
ne was not there, nor was he seen in
the audience. Mr.. Folk in his speech
made no reference to the Withdrawal
OF MI. Reed from the race, other than
that the fight against Doodle had ended
in victory.
Mr.. Folk did better in the big hall
than was expected of him. 1t takes a
powerful voice to be heard throughout
the big auditorium, but Mr.. Folk was
heard fairly wei. Time and again he
had to stop for cheers.
Crowds stood in the aisles through
out his entire speech, as they could
hear better thar in the rear Of the

with the Doodle issue.
