.D|FTz IS VICTOR
IN BITTER FIGHT
CAMERON DAM MAN WINS OUT IN
CONTEST WITH LUMBER
COMPANY.
Is SfTlED ON SFCRFI TRIMS
is SETTLED ON SECRET TERMS

Winter, Wis, Sept. 21-The famous
Dietz dam dispute has been settled. It
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 at
once.
This was the statement made as the
result Of conferences held between W..
F. Moses, representing the Weyer-
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
a hand In the game against Dietz is
believed to have decided the company
to yield.
Long, Bitter Fight.
Dietz procured farm on the Thorn
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
sand for every foot of logs which the
company sluiced through the dam. ag-
gregating several thousand dollars.
The company ignored the claim until
Dietz drove the log drivers away from
the dam, after which the company Of
fered to settle with Dietz for $4,000.
which settlement was refused.
Innumerable attempts to capture
him failed. Three different sheriffs
were ordered to get him, but all failed.
Large forces of armed men have at
tempted to get him, but all found the
place well fortified and were obliged
to give up the attempt. Blood haa
been shed several times.

That Will Be Urged.
During the winter 1t is expected
that steps will be taken by the citi-@
zens OF Mitchell to secure new high
Echool building. At the present time
the accommodations are meager, not
withstanding there are four buildings
now in use and another just being
completed, but it is the high school
department. that is suffering most. An
effort will be made to concentrate pub
lie opinion on a 100000 high school

now here are inadequate to the de-
mands from the number Of new resi-
