Of the neighborhood got mandamus

She remained there until she died.
DR.. Fulton explained that he could
not place the leper anywhere. as the

land Rossett.
Accordingly, the Syrian is now en-

Brentwood, Wis, Aug. William
Dackozita, the wounded deputy from
the Dietz Thornapple dam trouble,
passed through here yesterday en-
route to hospital at Hayward. His
wounds are not dangerous, while those
of Clarence Dietz, the son Of John F.
Diet., are considered fatal, his brain
being exposed to view. At present
everything is quiet at Thornapple
dam.
Will Ask for Troops.
Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. Sheriff
James Gylland of Sawyer county will
be in Madison to-day, when he will
make formal request to Gov. David
son for troops to capture John Dietz,
the much-wanted homesteader of Cam
eron dam.
Arthur ]. Hoeft Of Milwaukee, chief
deputy sheriff Of Sawyer county. re-
ceived telegram to this effect from
Sheriff Gylland and also a request that
he be present. He is of the opinion
that the governor will not refuse the
demand of Sheriff Gylland, and the
capture Of Dietz is now only matter
Of a few days. i.
Mr.. Hoeft is more conversant with
affairs around Cameron dam than
perhaps any other man in, the state,
with the exception of Sheriff Gylland,
and he may be pressed into service
with the state militia. Besides the
three attempts that Mr.. >Hoeft made to
capture Dietz, he also worked for sew
eral months, in the logging camps
around that neighborhood and is IA
miliar with nearly every one of Dietz's
spies, who, it is alleged, comprise al
most fifty homesteaders of Sawyer
county along the Thornapple river.
Boys Act az Spies.
One of the first things to be de-
manded of Gov. Davidson will be the
arrest of these alleged spies, and If
this is carried out it is believed it will
be very easy matter to land Dietz
behind prison bars. Many of these al
legged spies are said to be little boys
from twelve to fifteen years of age,
and consequently they go among sher-
IFS posses without attracting atten-
ton. Mr.. Hoeft is of the opinion that
they and the older Dietz followers
should be locked up until the mans
capture is effected.
The belief is gaining that Dietz will
never be captured alive. His conduct
during the past week shows that he
means to fight to death, and he has
threatened to do it. 1t is believed that
at least a company or more Of state
troops will be needed to get Dietz.
