DIETZ DAM CASE
FINALLY SETTLEDI
Millions of Feet of Logs So Long
Held Up VIII Be Moved
at Once.

Winter, Wis, Sept. 2O.-The famous
Dietz dam dispute has been settled.
1t is stated that an agreement has
! been made between the contendine
parties and that the millions of feet
Of logs that have long been held up
by the intrepid defender of Cameron
dam on the 1hornaPsDle river. near
here. will be moved at once. The
! terms of the settlement are not given
| The trouble arose over a dispute as
to the title of a tract of land covering
the Cameron dam Of the Thornapple
river. Both the Chippewa Log and
Room compang and John Dietz
claimed title to the land and Dietz de-
Tended the property against all COM
ers. Three different sheriffs failed to
capture Dietz, who has gained nation
al fame for his bold act in defying1 the
authorities.
st. Paul. Sept. 90. = A dispatch
from Rice Lake. Wis, referring to the
reported settlement of the dispute be-
tween John Dietz and the Chippewa
Log and Boon company over the own
ership of Cameron dam on Thornapple
river. Wis, says: The settlement was
effected in this city this week, and
was made between Diet2 5 brother and
W. l.. Moses. of Chippewa Falls. The
latter took the contract to move the
logs that have been tied up by Dietz
for over two years, down the river to
the Chippewa Log and Boom COM.
pany's sawmill at Chippewa Falls for
a consideration of $4,000.
1T is alleged that of this sum he
gave DietZ $4,000 for permission to
drive the logs through Dietz's dam on
the Thornapple river. The logging COM
pany refused to deal with or pay
DietZ a cent, but when Moses made
them proposition to drive the logs to
the mill for $4,000 they accepted it,
ard then Moses effected settlement
with Dietz by paying him $4,000.
which ends the long and bitter fight
for possession of the logs"
Chippewa Falls, Wis, Sept. 81. -
The 100000 feet of logs held up for
three years by John Dietz, of Cameron
dam, will be Ioated to this city by
way Of the Flambeau river route, the
Mississippi river Logging company
having given the contract to w. r.
Moses, of Mortified. MIMI, to haul
them by team from Thornapple river
to Flambeau river, distance of five
miles.
This eliminates all future trouble with
DietZ and makes unnecessary the re-
building of the Cameron dam to flood
the logs by the Thornapple river route.
The report that Dietz has been paid
$4,000 by the company for a, so-caIled
settlement is denied Sheriff Clark
