WHO HOLDS THE
HOTTEST JOB
IN TOWN

Many a hard working man in
Spokane welcomes the rain. Sew
eral men were gathered in a local
wet goods establishment yesterday
when another walked YEARLY in

wringing his handkerchief after
the operation. "Whew," was his
only remark as he told the barkeep
to fill up a "long one"

bartender, cheat don't trouble you,
does it,"
Don't it," was the reply. "I've

whats that?"
Baker" was the response, and
any further remark was lost as the
baker hid his face in the stein.
When he had finished his drink
man from the party already
gathered spoke up as he slapped
the baker on the shoulder. Cheer
up, old man, your job is a refriger-
ator for mine"
"G'Wan," said the baker in un-
belief.
Sure it is. What do you sup
pose baker would do if he was
stoker in sawmill like l am?"
Got you both beat" said a
third, I'm a cook!"

D. MILWAUKEE, Aug. 13.-Back-
ed by his rifle, his wife and his
family Of six children. john Dietz
for two years has defied officers Of
the county, state and national gov
ernments at his cabin on the
Thornapp!e river in the heart of
the northern Wisconsin forest.
Several men have been shot in
battles waged in the woods with
the Dietz family.
Thornappple river constitutes a
dead line Which Dietz boasts will
be maintained until he is carried
from the paice feet first, his fami-
ly dead and his rifle empty.
Dietz's position is based upon
his claims to Cameron dam, over
which the Chippewa Lumber &
Boom Co, drives its logs. He de-
mands foliage of 10 cents a
thousand feet for all logs schuted
over the dam and for wages for
S45 days In which ne was in the
employ OF the company. In two
years he has jammed 10000, 900

catchers of the league last year
and being credited with 1873 when
he left the league day or two
ago.
Ben Caffyn, left fielder of the
Des Moines team, who has been
sold to Cleveland for $4,000, came
from the Three League two years
ago. There are critics in the west
ern League this year who consider
him the best fielder the league ev-
er turned out. His strong point is
getting to first, and then continu-
ing around the bases for a score,
he having scored many more times
this year than any other player in
the league. He has batted about
300 this season, more because he
evades times at bat than because
of great strength at the bat.

winter narrow sledges have been
taken over the uncertain trail
through the hardwood forest. The
lonely family subsists on deer and
other game shot along Thornap-
pie river and the produce from the
small farm in the clearing.
Two newspaper men recently
followed the faint trail through the
woods to Dietz's clearing were met
at the edge of Thornapple river by
the outlaw with his rifle in hand,
and were finally permitted to wade
across to the forbidden territory.
They spent the entire day on the
Dietz farm with the fearless set
tier.
At first appearance, John Dietz

open and frank and his eyes spark
