ANARCHIsTIc METHODS OF ADvER-
TIsING.-A special dispatch from Bos.
ton gives an account of q big scare
over an advertising card sent through
the mails to leading confectioners,
with black hand pointing to the ap.
parently portentous sentence: "You
have but two days left" 1t is hardly
necessary to state that visions of bull.
lets and bludgeons fitted before the
eyes of the supposed victims of some
Italian system of bandits. The postal
authorities were placed in service to
ferret out the mystery, without success,
until the second day brought another
missive explaining the first. It read
"This is the day to order "Duck lard"
substance used in confectionery,
and was signed by wholesale grocer,
which thus gave full explanation of
an unique method of advertising.

MORE DEPENDENCE ON REEDS
Frank Jackson OF Tacoma WAS arrest.
ed, Wednesday, for ripping open ten
or twelve life preservers on the steamer
Multnomah, which was on the run
between this city and Tacoma. He
found them full Of tule reeds and
threw them overheard. The ends of
the reeds where they we're bound with
wire, to confine the air, were so badly
cracked that they were utterly useless
for the purpose they were supposed to
serve. Who ordered the arrest the
dispatch does not state, but it should
not have been the owners Of the boat, if
they wish to conserve the intent OF
the law in providing life-preservers to
fill their true purpose of saving the
lives of passengers in the disasters
which are liable at any time to water
going craft.

4 MEMORABLE RELIC. - Anything
connected with the life Of Gen. Andrew
Jackson, seventh President of the Uni
ted States, better known as" Old HEX
ory," hero of the war OF 1912, possesses
a special historic value, hence our ap-
probation Of sight OF sword Cor more
properly speaking, saber) that was
worn by the redoubtable warrior at the
siege of Pensacola, and during the in
vasion OF New Orleans by Rockingham.
In comparison with modern trappings,
it is not much to admire, and lie prob.
ably as far behind the times in ap-
pearance as the old army musket is
outranked by the modern krag Jor-
genson magazine rifle, in service and
appearance. 1t meas ures so inches
from hilt to point, and is made Of ex-
cellent steel, probably not excelled at
this time. The sword was presented
to Thomas NJ. Chambers, an old-time
resident of Pierce county, in 1920, by
the General, when Mr.. C. moved to In
diana. He had been for many years
overseer and manager Of the Her nit
age, a name by which the estate had
then become known, the Generals
home, at Nashville, Tenn. The first
wife OF Mr.. Chambers was true cous-
in OF the warrior, and it was probably
this, as we'll as the long and faithful
service of her husband, that suggest
ed the gift. In the course Of time. it
passed into possession of Mr.. Cham
bers' son, Andrew j., who who was
namesake of the distinguished man.
1t has ever since remained in his posses.
sion, and it is probably not too much
to cay that its weight in gold would
not be accepted in exchange for it.
AGAIN POSING FOR THE PUBLIC EYE.
Now Ezra Meeker is again advertis-
ing his contemplated trip across the
plains in prairie schooner. This
time he will start from Seattle. Last
time it was from Tumwater, by way Of
Portland, and he was on exhibition at
the Lewis and Clark fair, as he de-
clared preparatory to his trip East.
Everybody very naturally supposed
the trip had been made, and were
somewhat surprised that they had
not heard frequent blasts from his
bugle horn while en- route. 1t appears,
however, that. after all his advertising,
he did not so, but quietly returned to
his chicken.ranch at Puyallup-at
least, that was the probability, as he
seemed to have literally fallen out Of
the public eye. Now we read the same
old historical laudations OF the path
finder, who SO strenuously objected to
being called old, while editing his
press notices, although his narrative
when connected extends back to the
pyramids. But seriously, We hope that
this time he will get off and complete
his journey, settle down and BIZ ever
happy afterwsrd.

"Ah!" said Billery; Il suppose So"
There was not much in the words, but
the tone was SO uncommonly dry, and
Billery's glance at the man was so
keen, that the sergeant, who had
paused mechanically at the first word
of recognition, looked curiously from
one to the other.

M'II Shoot Anything"

'I'll shoot anything on the river
hereafter" was the angry last word of
Dietz yesterday, and he now holds un-
disputed sway for the time being, even
the watchers stationed near the fa-
nous dam having decamped in fear Of
death.
The long expected clash between the
squatter and representative of the
state was participated in by practical
ly the entire Dietz family.
AS socn 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. Tho
fusillade was returned by the militia
men, and after the smoke had cleared
away it was seen that Clarence Dietz
had fallen. Then the would-be captors
of Dietz retired behind stumps and
trees.
Battle Lasts an Hour.
For over an hour the battle was
continued. Fully $50 shots were fired
by each side.
Ladysmith news. [volume] (Ladysmith, Wis.) 1906-1907, 1906-08-04

When 1t was seen that Dietz was
determined not to give up, Gylland
and his force of militiamen retired to
the Mississippi River Logging compa-
ny camp at Cameron DAM half mile
from the Dietz cabin, and there dress
ed the wounds of the militiaman.
Then they drove thirty-six miles to
this city for medical assistance and to
receive further orders.
How badly wounded Clarence Dietz
is cannot be stated, as Dietz would al
low no outsider to approach the cabin
after the battle. Clarence Dietz, after
he was wounded was dragged by his
mother and sister to the cabin, while
the other son and the father remained
on the field to face the sheriff and mil
itiamen
Reports Are Confirmed.
Additional information confirming
reports of the clash was brought in by
James Harrington and James Rice,
the Mississippi Logging companys
dam watchers. They assert positively
that the first volley of shots was fired

their story, John f. Dietz and Stanley
and Leslie, his Oldest sons, fired first.
Many of the neighbors of Dietz are
friendly to him, and as soon as CYL
land and party were near Dietz's
cabin he was notified of his danger
and was fully ready to meet the emer-
gency.
Appeal to the Governor.
Up to month ago the Sawyer coun-
ty sheriff had made four unsuccessful
attempts to get Dietz. About four
weeks ago Sheriff Gylland went to
Cameron dam with deputies, but this
attempt, like the others, ended in fail
ure.
Gov. Davidson was then prevailed
upon to assist the county authorities
to the extent of furnishing the aid of
