fed to by the following telegram from
Sheriff Gylland:
Pattle is over. One of my men and one
of Dietz's men wounded. VIII return to
Hayward from Ladysmith as soon as
wounded man attended to.
Two of the Mississippi River Lumber
company's Thornapple river dam watch
ers arrived here today and also testified
to the truth of the battle.
Another Version of Battle.
Reports of the encounter differ. One
from Rice Lake is to the effect that there
were fifteen men in the alta cking party
and that they were divided into three
squads. The sortie was made, so report
says, when the Dietz family was out in
the field haying. Dietz ordered the
squad nearest his house off his farm.
manned in ambush. This is said to be
the man who shot Clarence Dietz and
opened the battle.
Dietz snapped his gun three times as
the man passed in the open, but the gun
failed to go off. Another squad then
opened fire on the cabin, shooting
through it, and nearly hit members of
men, and they escaped, crawling on their
stomachs through the Thornapple river.
During the shooting Dietz shot at one
man on the other side and said he saw
him fall. Dietz is well supplied with
ammunition but is indignant at the at
tack and calls it cowardly. He and his
wife had many chances to shoot the
militlamen but did not, says the Rice
Lake report.
Can't Punish Guardsmen.
CAMP DOUGLAS, Wis, July 81
Especial. J. There is no truth in the
statement that miIitiamen took part as
an organized body in attempting to cap
ture John Dietz. Both Gov. Davidson
and Gen. Boardman wer ignorant of any
attack being made upon him until they
saw an account of it in last night $
Evening Wisconsin. The governor said
he hoped it was true that Dietz had
been captured but appears to have fears
that the report was wrong. Gen. Board
man said if any militiamen were out
that they were members of the guard
acting solely IN private capacity and
not as militiamen acting under orders.
He also said that nothing could be done
to the men if they wore their uniforms
in the attack.
Says Soldiers Cannot Act.
MADISON, Wis, July 27.-[Special.
Gov. Davidson said today over the
telephone from Camp Douglas in regard
to the Cameron dam battle:
There has been no request for any militia.
| doubt if there were any mliitiamen in the
battle. Some months ago there was some
talk with me about the matter, but no di
rect request made and l said l could
send no troops unless some serious situa
ton arose which the sheriff could not meet
The sheriff must exhaust his resources be
fore calling for help, and that has not yet
been tried it seems. The governor alone
can call out the militia and if there were
any guardsmen in the recent reported fight
they were there without authority, as the
sheriff cannot call them out. There has
! been no correspondence or communication
| about Dietz lately and l see no occasion yet
| for any action.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 27.-At a

But the peasant movement, so far as

cial. THE attorney general has just re-
ceived communication saying that
Judge Dunwiddie of GAINESVILLE has sus-
tanned a demurrer in the case of state
ex rel. attorney general VS.. Pliny Nor

on the Rock river, on the ground that
the dam was overlooking much land in

holds that the Rock river is not a navi-

recent opinion of the supreme court of
the state, and is a victory for the dam
