DIETZ INDICTED
FOR ANARCHY"
SAWYER COUNTY GRAND JURY RE
TURNS TRUE BILLS AGAINST
HOLDER OF CAMERON DAM.
ADVISES MILITARYATTACK
Recommends That Governor Send Troops
to Capture "Outlaw"-Land lille
gal1y Held.
CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, April )

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, April ).
i Special. THE Sawyer county grand
jury today returned three indictments
against John +. Dietz of Cameron dam,
one for resisting an officer and two for
attempting murder.
1t 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 with
held property by force from the owners
and officers.
Asks for Military Force.
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 be-
heYes Dletz is more or less insane or at
lease 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
Cameron dam.
To Get Dietz This Time.
1t is now believed that a most deter
mined effort will be made to take the
outlaw" Of Cameron dam who for years
has resisted all efforts to dislOdge him
from holding the dam which is claimed
by the lumber company. Dietz has man
tt5tu ~ uOtl up ulIilDnS Oh Feet OF logs
which have rOtted and now are believed
to be worthless. The lumber company
has been charged with sending men to
the dam to shoot the defender and in
many encounters Dietz and his family,
warned by Leighbors, have been able to
brighten away all corners.
Shooting of Milwaukeean.
The Indictment charging resistance to
officers probably covers all the times
that Dietz has Withstood the sheriff of
Sawyer county The two charging at
tempted murder are believed to cover the
case i'll which John Rogich of Milwau-
kee, one Of the hired deputies of Sheriff
Gylland was shot last July when the
Milwaukee posse descended on the dam.
The other supposed to cover the case of
May 1904, when battle took place
between DietZ, Valentine Wcissenbach,
his ally, and the officers. Weissenbach
was sentenced to twelve years in prison
for firing on deputies.
The grand Jury,s report will be sent
to the governor at once.
State May Not Act
MADISON, Wis, April 5.-[Special
Gov. Davidson had not been officially
informed of the Indictment of John
Dietz of Cameron Dam at noon today.
The governor would not say what action
the state would take, if any, in the mat
ter. He preferred to receive the official
report before indicating his course.
1t is not believed here that the state
will take any action. 1t is reported that
the administration believes that it is up
10 the Sawyer county authorities to ham
die the matter. However, there is the
possibility that when the county officials
are not able to take Dietz to court to
answer to the indictments, that it will
be necessary for the governor to act.

CHICAGO AN EASY WINNER
Republican National Convention
TO Meet There June 16.

Washington, Dec. 7-Chicago, June
16. The former Is the place and the
latter the time at which the Repub-
lican national convention for 1908 will
be held. Both points were decided by
the Republican national committee In
conference at the Shoreham hotel In
this city. The meeting occupied near
ly four hours and In that time the
claims of Chicago, Kansas City and
Denver for the convention location
We're all pointedly presented by advo-
oates of the various places. The vote
stood 81 for Chicago, Is for Kansas
City and A for Denver, after which the
choice OF Chicago was declared to be
by reclamation. The result was pleas
antly received by all the members OF
the committee and by the Kansas City
and Denver boomers. of whom there
were sixty or seventy present, and all
announced themselves as satisfied.
Kansas City declared through her dele
cation, however, that she would come
back after 1t again in 1912 and would
be sure to get 1t at that time" The
selection of the date was a compro-
mise between the first OF June and the
last Of June, all being satisfied on that
point also The controversy over the
method of selecting delegates to the
convention for the states which have
primary laws was also compromised
and the latter placed In the hands OF
the state and district committees.

BANK CLOSES ITS DOORS.
Old Financial Institution at Pittsburg
In Trouble.

Pittsburg, Dec. THE Fort Pitt
National bank, one of the older flnan-
cial Institutions of this city, has
failed to open for business. A notice
posted on the door was signed by
Bank Examiner John b. Cunningham
and stated that the bank had been
closed by order of the comptroller of
the currency.
The directors later issued a state
ment to the effect that suspension
OF business was forced by the clear
Ing house committee demanding that
the bank Immediately raise a large
amount OF cash, which under existing
financial conditions 1t could not do
without great sacrifice.
The directors declare In unqualified
terms that the institution is solvent,
that depositors will be paid in full, and
that the embarrassment is wholly due
20 the present stringent conditions in
the financial world.
