DIETZ,, CAMERON
DAM, INDICTED
P eople Now Wondering what
the Outcome of the Next
Conflict will be.

Chippewa Fails, WIS, APR.
8.-The Sawyer county grand
jury Friday returned three
indictments against John r.
Dietz of Cameron dam fame
one for resisting an officer
and two for attempted MUIR
der.
It also finds that that part
of Sawyer county at Cameron
dam is not subject to the laws
of the state and has not been
for three years and that Dietz
has withheld property by
force from the owners and
officers. The jury holds that
Dietz has no right to the dam
and is violating the law by
not allowing the Chippewa
Lumber and boom company to
use it.
The jury believes that
Dietz is more or less insane
or at least desperate and
recommends that the state
furnish sufficient military
force to arrest him and that
the governor be asked to put
an end to anarchy" at Cam
eron dam.
It is now expected that a
determined effort will be
made to take the man who for
years has resisted all efforts
to dislodge him from holding
the dam which is the proper
ty of the lumber company.
Dietz has managed to hold
up millions of feet of logs
which have rotted. The lum-
Der company has been charg-
ed with sending men to the
dam to shoot the defender
and in many encounters Dietz
and his family, warned by
neighbors, have been able to
brighten away all corners.
The Indictment charging
resistance to officers, it IS
supposed, covers the various
times that Dietz has resisted
the Sheriff of Sawyer county.
The two charging attempted
murder are believed to cover
the case in which John Rog-
ich of Milwaukee, one of the
hired deputies Of Sheriff CYL
land was shot last July when
the Milwaukee posse descend
ed on the dam,
The other supposed to COW
er the case of May 1904, when
a battle took place between
Dietz, Valentine Weissen-
bach, his ally, and the Off
GERS. Weissenbach was SEN
fenced to twelve years in pri-
son for firing on deputies.

What Will They Weigh?
Denver Republican,

Denver Republican,
scientists assert that experiments have
proved that the human soul weighs from
one half to one ounce.-Press Dispatchl
What does the soul of the woman weigh
Who fondles dog and drives children away
Who calleth her husband ''that phonograph''
And worships some actor mans photograph!
Now scientists, say,
Drop hint to us, pray
If her soul on the scales were thrown,
What would it weigh?
What would the soul of the muckraker
weigh,
Who seeketh for new regulations to slay,
Who jingles his gold pieces down in his
jeans
His wage for his work in the cheap maya
Zines
Now, scientists saw,
Drop a hint to us. pray
If his soul vas worth trif1ing with,
What would it weigh?
What would the soul of the of the magnate
weigh
Who would with his countrymen's welfare
play,
Whe would bring on disaster to me and you
Now, scientists. say,
Drop hint to us, pray
Were his soul on the scales today,
What would it weigh?
