CAMERON DAM WAR
MAY PROVE FATAL
Clarence Dietz Is Suffering Intensely
from Bad Wound in His
Head

WINTER, Wis, Aug. Cit is feared
that Clarence Dietz, son of John Dietz,
who was shot in the recent battle at
Thornapple dam, will die. He was shot
through the forehead John Rogich. the
milwaukee, deputy who was also wound
ed, Is IN serious condition. Gangrcnp
has set in and there is cause for alarm
The wounds would not have been serious
If he had had medical attention at once,
but Rogich wandered about in the woods
for several days before he was picked UP
and cared for.
Story Of MIS-. Dietz.
The Dietz version of the affair is well
told in Il letter from Mrs. Dietz and her
daughter to Il married daughter here,
Mrs. Herman Eoigt. Mrs. Dietz writes:
q little better today: He is shot in the
front Of his head The wound is about two
ana one-half inches long. We think his
skull is cracked an his brain exposed as
he has not been able to stand the least bit
OF noise. When he was shot he threw up
both hands and fell on his back. The chill
drgn told us how it happened.
Inc poor boy never fired q shot. Father
and the boys could have killed every one
OF them if we had wanted to. The man
that that shot b Clarence stayed in the willows
then shot at Leslie; came within half an
inch of hitting him.
Then they began shooting at me and
the children and all of them shot through
the house and the bullets tore the ground
In the yard all around Myra, | and the
little ones.
,,1 You understand the men were on the
Knoll, little way from the house. They
lie when they say we shot first. The first
shot was fired by someone over in the
brush, and the next they shot Clarence.

Educators Return.

prof Hill arrived home Sunday
from the convention Of school super
intendents Of the U. s. held at Louis
willie last week and reports having had
very pleansant and profitable time
Of IL. Mr.. Hill says that he ran into
blizzard on both ends Of the route
Going he mot the blizzard which
crossed southern Ill. the week before
last and returning he ran into the very
midst Of the big storm tnat covered
the northern peninsula last Saturday
and Sunday.
Mr.. Hill speaks very entertainingly
OF the work Of the convention and
says that the results obtained from
brushing up against the educators
from All over the country cannot be
estimated in dollars and cents
one of the most radical recommenda-
tions made by the convention was the
change ii spelling OF about dozen
words in common use. Speaking OF
this Prof Kaye, 81 the Northern
Normal says that the change % phone
tic spelling Of certain common words
in the English lexicon, recommended
for adoption ia the schools Of the
country. was not favored by all the
educators IN attendane at the meeting.
Among other things the convention
proposed that al snperintendents and
heads Of educational institutions a.
dopt the phonetic method Of spelling
Ia school documents and calendars
hereafter issued. The words 20 be
thus spelled were 10 be from the list Of
fifty suggested by the conference com
mittee as necessary 10 be changed.
This proposition was not agreeable to
all educators the opposition being
based on. the theory that the national
association could accomplish but little
in reyolutionizing word spelling un-
less assisted by newspaper magazine
and book publishers throughout the
country. and that national con.
ference including al OF these interests
would be the only effective manner Of
reaching the root Of the question. 10
is probable that action looking to a
national conference may be- taken Mt
some future time, but Principal Kaye
expresses the opinion that phonetic
spelling of certain common words will
not be effective until united action Is
taken

Everyone likes 20 look at fat horse

DO his work nearly as easily as one
that is in moderate flesh. neither does
be- keep as healthy. II there happens

them.
