AS oon as the sheriff and militia
men came in sight of the Dietz cabin,
Dietz, his wife, two of his sons and
one daughter came out armed with re-
peating rifles. After the first volley
from the Dietz side, one of the militia
men fell wounded. Bullets struck him
in the ankle, hip and neck. The fusil,
lade was returned by the militiamen,
and after the smoke had cleared it
was seen that Clarence Dietz had fall

Dietz retired behind stumps and trees.
For over an hour battle was con-
tinued. Fully $50 shots were fired by
each side.

determined not to give up, Gylland

st. Petersburg, July 27.-The EN-
peror is apparently convinced that he
took the right course in suppressing
parliament. A member of the nobility
enjoying personal relations with the
sovereign informs the Associated
Press that the emperor displays ey-
ceptionally high spirits. Two weeks
ago when he saw him the emperor
seemed under a great mental strain
over the situation. But with "parlia-
ment off his hands" and the govern
ment again free to pursue it's own pol
ICY a great burden appeared to be lift
ed from his shoulders.
The official Rossia, in a rather
pathetic leading article, summons the
people who really desire to see Russia
cegenerated to abandon their indiffer-
ent attitude toward the revolution and
strike hard for the government, which
is opening the doors to an era of re-
form declaring thai mo government
has the right to try experiments with
the country"
