NEW BOUCK DECISION
JUDGE BURNELL HANDS DOWN DE-
CISION AT OSHKOSH.
Estate of Eccentric Lawyer, Valued at
About 100000, Will Be Distributed
to Heirs in Four Parts.

OSHKOSH, Wis, July 2S.-[Spe-
cialI-ln the circuit court this morning
Judge Burnell handed down his opinion
IN the matter of the construction of the
will of Col. Gabriel Bouck.
Judge Burnell finds in favor of the
contention made by the executor that
the estate is to be divided into four
equal parts.
The matter was taken to the circuit
court on an appeal of the findings OF the
county court, which construed the will
differently.
According to the county court the opin-
ion was given that two-thirds of the cs-
tate was to go to the Mary Murray and
Mary Roman branches of the family
and the other third was divided between
Sarah Braumaghim, the heirs of Kitty
Hubbard and the William G. Bouck
branches
According to the decision handed
down today, the estate which is valued
at 100000 will be divided among the
people mentioned, each branch getting
one-fourth.
The case will probably be appealed TO
the supreme court.
In his opinion Judge Burnell said:
THE antiquity of this will is most
singular one, especially when we con
slider it was drawn by one of the oldest
and ablest lawyers in the state

Il Special. The battle between John
Dietz and Sheriff Gyiland OF Sawyer
county and his posse of militamen 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 mllitiamen 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 10
be from Milwaukee, acted independently
in the matter and were not ordered to
take Dietz by the state. This may ac-
count for the secrecy regarding the iden-

the state for such an unauthorized cam

As soon as the sheriff and militiamen
came in sight of the Dietz cabin, Dietz,

came out armed with Winchester rifles

behind stumps and trees, and for over
<n hour the battle lasted. Fully 15C
shots were fired by each side.
Militiamen Retire.
When it was seen Dietz was deter
mined not to give up, Gylland and his
six militiamen retired to the Mississippi

that the duty of taking the initiative fell

The new Wisconsin state capitol will
be one of the finest, if not the finest in
the United States. 1t will consist OF
four-story granite structure surmounted
by large and graceful dome. The form
will be that of a st. Andrews cross with
all the wings of equal length and area,
and it will be set diagonally on the
square with wings pointing to the points
of the compass and to the diagonal
streets terminating at the corners of the
park.
The building will have an extreme
length from north to south and from
east to west of 42O feet. The width of
the wings will be 120 feet.
The features of the design are the en-
frances, there being an entrance to the
building on the ground floor at the end
of each wing, with a continuous and I'M
