D|ETz SHELTERS HUNTER,
WILLIAM WINTER OF RIVER FALLS
TELLS OF WELCOME AT CAM
ERON DAM.
AT FIRST SUSPICIOUS.
Met Stranger at Door with Leveled Gun,
But Later Cordially Receives Him
Into His Home.

HUDSON, Wis, Nov. 17.-[Special /
Just tell 'em for me that John Dietz
is as nice a man as there is in the
world
This is the way William Winter Of
River Falls expressed his opinion of the
famous OUTLAW of the Cameron dam"
when interviewed here today, after hay
ing spent a night and half a day at
the home of Dietz.
Winter started from Winter station
through the woods. After leaving
Blood Dam, logging camp, he lost his
bearings and from o'clock in the morn
ing till nightfall, wandered about aim
lessly, not knowing where to turn. In
the dusk he found what seemed to be
a notice of some kind, and striking a
light, read it. 1t was trespass notice,
warning all Corners to keep off the prem
ises. No name was attached, but Win
ter knew that the man who had posted
1t was none other than John T. Dietz.
Met Dietz with Gun.
81 knew 1 was taking big chances
but [ didn't want to stay lost in the
woods any longer either" said Winter,
80 | picked my way cautiously for
ward Soon / saw some buildings, and
made tracks straight for them. At ev-
cry step | expected to hear Dietz's voice
crying halt or the whizzing of a bullet,
but nothing of the kind happened, and 1
reached the door unmolested. The door
wasn't opened at once, and when it was,
there stood John Dietz himself, cover
ing me completely with his gun. He
was ready to pump me full of lead, if
L gave him an excuse.
Given Warm Welcome.
81 told him who l was, explaining my
predicament. He made me hand over
my rife, ammunition and searched me
from top to toe. Meanwhile, his fam
take a hand, if necessary. When they
had satisfied themselves that / was no
officer or spy of the Mississippi Logging
company, however, they all became
friendly and gave me as nice treatment
as | ever got in my life. They hadn't
seen anybody for a long time, and were
tickled to death to have a friendly per-
son come there.
Expects No More Trouble.
81 stayed till noon of the next day.
The girl, who is as pretty Il lass as
to find so nice appearing girl in the
woodstock a fancy to my Winchester.
which was light and just the kind of
gun for her, and she shot several times
with it at mark. Whew, but she can
shoot. never saw anything done slicker
than the way she hit the bullseye at
every crack. And the others in the fam
lily, big and little, are just as good shots.
No militia company would get John
Dietz without losing a lot of lives"
Winter said that Dietz had no fear of
further attacks from the authorities.
He expects to spend a peaceful winter
and to haul out enough logs from his
land to build fine new house IN the
spring.
