TO AVOID BLOODSHED.
Dietz Case May Be Settled Peaceably-
Company Not to Risk
Lives

Chippewa Falls, April 17.-[Special.]
-John Dietz's latest statement is that
he will get out an injunction prohibiting
the logging company from touching the
logs near the Cameron dam until full
settlement is made with him. Attorney
Conner Of the logging company said he
would like to see Dietz carry out his
threat, as it will bring him into court.
It is understood that the NJ. r. l.. Co.
will not ask any of their men to take
any risks that would endanger life. Jack
Whidden and his driving crew are at the
lower dam eight miles from the Cameron
dam with instructions to proceed to the
Cameron dam to begin driving just as
soon as conditions are right for driving
at that dam. Mr.. Whidden also has in
structions to try to drive at the Cameron
dam in a peaceable manner.
If Dietz interferes with the drivers
then the company will present the case
to the federal authorities and an order of
contempt of court will be issued against
Dietz and the United States marshal will
be ordered to arrest him summarily and
bring him to Madison.

TO STOP A RAILW AY.
Farmers in Racine County Object to Mil
waukee- Chicago Aine-Mass Meet
ings Are Held.

Racine, Wis, April III Special. /
Assemblyman John Thomas Of Racine
county is the leader of fraction of
farmers who will endeavor to prevent
the Chicago & North Western Railway
company from building the new railroad
line between Milwaukee and Chicago. A
meeting of the farmers was held yester-
day and another was begun this after
noon.
Unless the railroad company is willing
to pay damages to the farms through
which they intend to run the line, they
will not be able to purchase rights of
way, say the farmers. The company has
paid S16O per acre for some of the land,
but the farmers, who are represented by
Mr. Thomas, will demand from $500 to
$500 per acre. The new line will cut
some farms in two.
The farmers do not believe the line is
necessary and will be of use to them,
because there is to be no station along
the new line SO far the company has
been able to get right of way through
a greater portion Of Racine county, but
in the northern part of the county this
has been impossible, on account of the
farmers demand for high prices.

WIDOW AND DAUGHTER
GET 100000 ESTATE
W. w. Cooper Will Is Executed at Keno
sha-Lawrence University and Mis-
sion Society Refusal Honored.

Kenosha, Wis, April IL Special. L
Henry S. Cooper, executor of the will
of Willis w. Cooper, has by the order of
the county court turned over to Mrs
Anna Cooper and Maude Cooper Beach
ell, widow and daughter, $122,270 in cash
and securities, being a portion of their
interest IL the estate. This is not the en-
tire amount to be received by the widow
and daughter, as it is stated that there
will be a large residue. The interest was
largely paid in cash, the executor having
disposed Of the stock held by Mr.. Coop
err in the Chica GO enosha Hosiery com
pany. However, Mrs. Cooper and her
daughter will hold a large block of the
Kenosha Underwear company.
The estate, which is held to have been
one of the most complicated ever settled
in this court, will probably be settled
WITHIN the next two or three months. At
the time of the death of Mr.. Cooper. he
had scores of interests in properties in
all parts of the United States and when
the estate was first taken up by the
courts it was feared that a large amount
Of these assets of the estate would prove
to be of no value.
The estate has paid to the Y. NJ. c. A.
of Kenosha legacy of $4,000 and
this added to the large sum paid to the
heirs and the residue now in the hands
of the executor will bring the total
value of the estate up to nearly S16O,OOO.
1t will be remembered that by the
will of the late manager of the Hosiery
works the property was to be given to
the Lawrence university and the Ameri
can Missionary society to be held in
trust for the widow and daughter dur
ing their lives, but the two institutions
declined to accept the trust and the en-
tire estate reverted to the two heirs

following written to an Agent of the
Government and forwarded to the In
migration Branch of the Department
OF the Interior at Ottawa:
Birch Hills, Sask, Canada,
Feb. LIST, 1905.
Dear Sir:
I take pleasur in dropping you a
few lines to let you know how we are
getting along up here and how we like
the place. We have been here close on
TO year now and think the place is
fine We have been out every day this
winter working in the bush getting out
logs for buildings, ETC., getting rails
for fencing. We have not suffered
with the cold as much as we did in
Chicago. My little boys are out every
day with their sleighs having a good
time The lowest the temperature has
been this winter is 81 below and it is
: very still, no wind.
We had a splendid summer; we put
up about so tons Of hay and will have
about 80 tons to SELL hay brings So per
ton now and will be higher in the
spring. We have 20 acres broke and
ready for crop. We worked on the
Can. Nor Ry. for awhile this summer
and am just miles from the railroad
and townsite. The steel is all laid to
within miles Of the river and we
often see the train bringing supplies for
the bridge.
My wife's people are coming up
about May. I wish you would write
them and if there should be anyone
coming to Prince Albert that could do
with a half car let them know. The
homesteads are all taken up within u
miles of us. / often think if this land
were only in the States what a rush
there would be; it is the richest land
and the most productive I ever saw,
and the climate Is OK.
| know that people back there that
I write to do not believe me when
write them what a splendid winter we
are having, they think we are all froz-
en- up. We have only about s inches
of snow. and there are cattle on the
range that have not been rounded up
this winter. Day after day the Their
mometer raises up to so and 60 and [
don't believe we have had a day this
winter that it has stayed at zero. My
wife says that we used to think that
zero was cold in Chicago. But we don't
mind it one bit. Christmas night we
went out and drove ; miles with our
three little boys; it was 20 below, and
there was not a whimper from any one
of them: I'd hate to do it in old Chi
cago.
Well, l guess [ will close, and you
can tell anyone in the U. S. that they
cannot do better than come to the
Prince Albert District. l remain, yours
truly.
