CONTEST WITH LUMBER
COMPANY.
is SETTLED ON SECRET TERMS

Winter, Wis, Sept. 2l.-The famous
Dietz dam dispute has been settled. 1t
is stated that an agreement has been
reached between the contending par
ties and that the logs that have long
been held up by the intrepid defender
of Cameron dam, on the Thornapple
river, near here, will be moved ut
once.
This was the statement made rs the
result OF conferences held between w.

haeuser interests. and William Dietz.
representing his brother.
Just what the terms Of the settle.
ment are has not been made public.
but the first payment was made to
Dietz on Monday. and the details were
arranged satisfactorily to both parties.
The recent failure of the company to
get the legislature or governor to take
hand in the game against DietZ is
believed to have decided the company
to yield.
Long, Bitter Fight.
Dietz procured farm on the Thorn
apple river a few years ago, and upon
discovering that Cameron dam was on
his land, instead Of upon the compa-
ny's land, as was generally supposed.
he put in claim of 10 cents per thou.

company sluiced through the dam. az

The company ignored the claim until
Dietz drove the log drivers away from
the dam, after which the company of.

Innumerable attempts to capture

were ordered to get him, but all failed

EIGHTEEN DIE IN MINE DISASTER
Cage Drops Seven Hundred Feet to
the Bottom of Mine Shaft,


Negaunee Mich, Sept. 22.-Eleven
men were killed and seven fatally in
jured when a cage plunged 700 feet
down the shaft of the Jones & Laugh
lin company's mine in this city. The
cage, with its human freight, was be-
ing lowered on it's first trip of the
day, when the brake on the hosting
drum suddenly failed to hold and the
car dropped to the bottom of the
shaft. The accident is the worst that
ever happened in this vicinity.
Workmen at the bottom of the mine
Immediately set about the gruesome
task of removing the dead. The 700
foot fall had huddled the bodies to.
sether and there they lay in one pile,
mass of lifeless flesh and blood.
The bones of the bodies were so shat
tered that the men, when they fell,
were piled on top of each other like so
many pelts of leather. Seven men
were found still alive. They are fatal
ly hurt.
Thousands of people soon congre
gated about the mine shaft. I'm the
crowd were the wives and children of
200 men who are employed in the
mine. 1t was fully two hours before
the cable was adjusted so that the
cage could be raised to the surface.
During all this time women with ba-
bies in their arms tainted away; chill.
dren cried Historically.
When all the miners came from UNI.
der ground and many anxious wives
and others failed to find members of
their families who worked in the mine
the scene was awful.
