FIELD TAXES MILLIONS.
Board of Reuiesc GiUes Cook County
$1,000, O,OOO-I Interest for SeUen Years

Chicago. July 26-The three-cOrnered cOntrO-
versy between the Board of Review. the execu-
tors of the Marshall Field estate and the city
Corporation Counsel's office came to end yes
terday when the taxing body decided that the
Field estate should be taxed on a total Of $780,
100000 this year. including back taxes.
The decision means that the executors Of the
estate will be compelled to pay the county ST.
100000 which is more than the total amount
of property which Mr.. Field was taxed during
the last year OF his life
The greater part of this great sum is to come
from the collection of back taxes. on which Mr..
Field is held by the board to have escaped pay
ment. The members of the board estimated the
back taxes without any authentic figure to
guide them
F. w. Upham. president of the board. held
that the board should fix the amount of prop
erty upon which taxes had not been collected
since 1899 at an average of S1jOO0OO0 year.
amounting to S1O5.0O0OO0 for the seven years.
To this sum will be added 10 per cent interest
fixed by law. to be collected in all cases Of this
kind. This interest amounts to S4S2.So0. The
personal property upon which the estate will be
compelled to pay taxes for this year was placed
at S250OO000

FIGHT WITH MILIITAMEN
Farmer Holds Dam scith Bullets
TscO Mag Die.

Ladysmith Wis, July 26.-James Hedring-
ton, who attends the dams Of the Mississippi
River Logging Company on the Thornapple
River arrived here to-day from the Cameron
dam and reported that shooting encounter
took place yesterday between John F. Dietz
and family and six militamen. said to be from
Milwaukee. The militiamen were accompanied
by Sheriff Gyland of Sawyer County. The
shooting was the elimination of an attempt to
serve legal papers on Dietz.
One militiaman was shot three times. and
Clarence Dietz son OF John Dietz. was shot
in the head. The recovery of the militiaman
is doubtful.
Hedrington says that the women of Dietz's
household took part in the shooting. He be-
lieves $50 shots were fired.
HedringtOn says that before the attack Dietz
declared he expected to ole on the farm with
an empty gun in his hands. Dietz for a long
time has held possession of Thornapple dam,
preventing the driving of several million feet
of logs belonging to the Chippewa Lumber and
Boom Company. The logs, 1t is said. are rot
ting, and the company has for scme time been
endeavoring to have DietZ served with papers
compelling him to show cause why the COM
pany should not be allowed to drive the logs.
It is not known whether yesterdays attempt to
serve tine papers succeeded or not.

union housesmths disappeared. and non-uniOn men
were employed.
President Starrett Of the Fuller company was
out of town yesterday. and the news that the firm
had employed members of the union caused some
surprise at the Building Trades Club. When the
strike Of the housesmiths took place last January
for an advance in wages from 81 80 to IS day and
the open shop was declared in the trade, the Fuller
Company was allowed to employ members of the
union because the Plaza Hotel was declared to be
an emergency Job The company then employed
members Of the union at a compromise scale of
$3.50 A day and several independent employers
about the same time Tcemployed the strikers at the
same rate.
