PREUFERT CASE PUZZL|
Evidence Against Mukwonago MAJ
Charged with Murder, Is Circun
stantial-Arraigned in Court.

WAUKESHA, Wis, July 27.-[&
cial. lotto Preufert, charged with ii
murder of his father-in-law, Fredera
Hookstad, an aged town of Mukwona:
farmer, was brought before Judge Td
lar this morning. The examination w
continued until tomorrow morning Vhs
another continuance will probably
taken. Preufert was committed to id
without bail. G. E. Armin has bel
appointed to defend Preufert.
Sheriff Kunz spent yesterday in
vestigating the circumstances surroun
ing the death of Hookstad, but few NE
facts were learned. Preufert's demeal
and actions since his arrest are in
favor and while there is circumstant
evidence against him the theory that b
father-in-law was kicked to death BY
horse is plausible. Neither Preufer
his wife deny that the two men b
quarreled repeatedly, but Mrs. Preutg
claims that there had been
trouble between them for six week
Preufert was taken to MukwOnago
day to be present at the inquest tl
afternoon.

STORY OF DIETZ BATTLE,
One Militiaman Shot and Defenders Son
Is Wounded.

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, July 81.
i Special. THE battle between John
Dietz and Sheriff Gylland of Sawyer
county and his posse of militiamen has
resulted as have former encounters
John Dietz has not been captured Or
served any papers whatever.
This was the first battle, however,
where there was any blood shed. Clar-
ence, the 19-year old son of the defender
of Cameron dam, lies in a serious condi-
ton at the Dietz home in the woods and
one of the militiamen from Milwaukee
is receiving medical attention at Lady
smith, where he was taken after the
posse of Sheriff Gylland had been routed
by Dietz and his family.
Guardsmen from Milwaukee.
These militiamen,' who are all said TO
be from Milwaukee, acted independently
in the matter and were not ordered to
take Dietz by the state. This may &C.
count for the secrecy regarding the iden-
tity of the men who accompanied CYL
land for the guardsmen might be pun
ished for using the rifles and uniforms of
the state for such an unauthorized cam
paign.
As soon as the sheriff and militiamen
came in sight of the Dietz cabin, Dietz.
his wife, two sons and one daughter
came out armed with Winchester rifles.
After the first volley from the Detz side,
one of the militiamen fell wounded, bull
let's having struck him in the ankle, hin
and neck The fusillade was returned BY
the militiamen and after the smoke had
cleared it was seen that Clarence Dietz
had fallen. After that the posse retired
behind stumps and trees, and for over
an hour the battle lasted. Fully 80
shots were fired by each side
Militiamen Retire
When it was seen DieH was deter
mined not to give up, Gylland and his
six militiamen retired to the Mississippi
hiver Logging companys camp at Cam
eron dam, half a mile from Dietz's cab
in, and there dressed the wounds of the
militiaman. Then they drove to Lady
smith. thirty-six miles distant, for good
medical attendance and to receive fur
Their orders. 1t is not expected that
the militiaman will live, from the lat
est reports. How badly wounded Clar-
ence Dietz is cannot be stated, as Dietz
would allow no outsider to approach the
cabin after the battle

BULLETS PROVE CRIME.
JOSEPH BARDENHEUER SHOT IN
RIGHT SIDE AND IN BACK
OF HIS HEAD.
MURDERER FROM CHICAGO
Belief of Police Because Illinois City Lad
Accompanied Supposed Farmer Who
Lured Jeweler to His Death.

MADISON, Wis, July 31.-LSpecial.I
-Two bullets found in the head of JOS
enh Bardenheuer, the Madison jeWeler
whose body was discovered IN the WOODS
near this city yesterday, prove murder
One bullet was fired into the right slde'
the other bullet into the back OF his
head. 1t is inferred that the murderer
came from Chicago, as Chicago BOY
was with the supposed farmer who lufeo
the jeweler into the country. Detec-
tiyes will go to Chicago for the boy
One theory is that Bardenheuer was
tho victim of a vendetta, as two men
were once sent to Joliet on his testimony.
Rardenheuer, who was Il large man,
weighing 347 pounds, evidently had put
mn hard struggle before being slain.
as his clothes were badly torn and the
ground near where the body was fOuno
was trampled and bushes beaten down.
His watch. necktie, pin, and what
money he had when last 0een Ia" De0AA
stolen.
On Saturday, July 81, man dressed
in farmers clothes called at Barden-
heuer's jewelry store, in Madison, ana
requested that Bardenheuer come TO his
home and repair an old clock, hxlng
Monday as the date, and asking that
the ieweler take u Fair Oaks car to the
end of the line. where boy would meet
him with a buggy. This plan would
have brought Bardenheuer near the
place where his body was found. 49,,
On Monday morning, putting the tools
that he might need in a case and taking
81 in money, Bardenheuer boarded the
street car. This was the last seen OF
him. .,
Clara Bardenheuer said her father
had been the victim of a robbery in Chi
eago. about Christmas, 1904.

fed to by the following telegram from
Sheriff Gylland:
Battle Is over. One of my men and one
of Dietz's men wounded. VIII return TO
Hayward from Ladysmfth as soon as
wounded man attended to.
Two of the Mississippi River Lumber
company's Thornapp1e river dam watch
ers arrived here today and also testified
to the truth of the battle.
Another Version of Battle.
Reports of the encounter differ. One
from Rice Lake is to the effect that there
were fifteen men in the attacking party
and that they were divided into three
SQUADS. The sortie was made, so report
says, when the Dietz family was out in
the field haying. Dietz ordered the
Two of the men obeyed and one re-
manned in ambush. This is said to be
the man who shot Clarence Dietz and
opened the battle.
Dietz snapped his gun three times as
the man passed in the open, but the gun
failed to go off. Another squad then
through it, and nearly hit members of
the Dietz family. Dietz fred on the
men, and they escaped, crawling on their
stomachs through the Thornapple river.
During the shooting Dietz shot at one
man on the other side and said he saw
him fall. Dietz is we'll supplied with
ammunition, but is indignant at the at
tack and calls it cowardly. He and his
wife had many chances to shoot the
militIamen but did not, says the Rice
Lake report.
Can't Punish Guardsmen.
CAMP DOUGLAS, Wis, July 81
Especial. There is no truth in the
statement that militiamen took part as
an organized body in attempting to cap
ture John Dietz. Both Gov. Davidson
and Gen. Boardman wer ignorant of any
attack being made upon him until they
saw an account of it in last night
Evening Wisconsin. The governor said
he hoped it was true that Dietz had
been captured, but appears to have fears
that the report was wrong. Gen. Board
man said if any militiamen were out
that they were members of the guard
acting solely III a private capacity and
not as militfamen acting under orders.
He also said that nothing could be done
to the men if they wore their uniforms
in the attack.
Says Soldiers Cannot Act.
MADISON, Wis, July 2.-[special.l
Coy. Davidson said today over the
telephone from Camp Douglas in regard
to the Cameron dam battle:
There has been no request for any militia.
/ doubt If there were any m1litiamen In the
battle Some months ago there was some
talk with me about the matter, but no di-
rect request was made and l said l could
send no troops unless some serious situa-
ton arose which the sheriff could not meet.
The sheriff must exhaust his resources be-
fore calling for help, and that has not yet
been tried 1t seems. The governor alone
can call out the militia and If there were
any guardsmen in the recent reported fight
they were there without authority, as the
sheriff cannot call them out. There has
been no correspondence or communication
about Dietz lately and 1 see no occasion yet
for any action.
