step Supposed To Be Part of Plan to
Show Governor Davidson That
Troops Are Needed for the
Capure of Dietz.

Hayward. Wis, May 13-Sheriff
Clark has summoned aposse Of 1C0men.
with the avowed purpose of capturing
John Dietz. the ''Outlaw of Cameron
DAM" Considerable criticism has been
aroused by this move. because Sheriff
Clark. since assuming office several
months ago, has made no attempt to
arrest or serve summons on Dietz.
About fifty citizens of Hayward
among them number Of leading lusl-
ness men, already have been made
deputy sheriffs and as many more men
will be enlisted for the. surrounding
country The posse will meet here
and agree on plan OF campaign. then
start for the dam.
Governor Davidson has consistently
refused to take action looking to the
apprehension of Dietz; he contends
that it has not been demonstrated that
the resources of Sawyer county have
been. exhausted and therefore refuses
to sanction the use OF the militia I'D
the enterprise. 1t is intimated that
Sheriff Clark's PLAN is to make an at
tempt to fake DetZ and then, should
the attempt fail. call upon the state
authorities for help. The Dietz case
has been the fly in the ointment that
has made office holding in Sawyer
county not as unmixed pleasure for
several years and there is a growing
demand that the vexing problem be
diSnOsed of in some manner.

 Senator Allison suggested that the government merely collected tax on liquor and does not control its sale. MT. Tillman replied that the govern ment, in collecting the tax. permits the sale of the liquor and issues a per init for that purpose. The resolution was adopted.

Rain or No Rain, Shopping
 Goes on Just the Same

the aforesaid tiny tots that the bundles were just packages of bluing. so the wash -1ady could finish the clothes and have all of Christmas off.
 Girls walked and men stalked with long lists, long faces and short bank accounts, looking for something "ap- propriate." which means what is in the economical eye of the beholder. Most everybody felt poor.
 But everybody was a spender. Script and fogs atmospheric clouded the sky that ought to have been bright and blue. and the majority of shoppers felt that they really ought not to do 1t. but they spent all they had, believing and knowing. if they knew enough to know that the cry of calamity is merely an echo--that there was plenty more in the bank they had just emp tied, or else it would soon be there.
 This was the Christmas spirit the outwardly and visibly demonstrated yesterday. Everybody cried out upon the hard times and spent as much as possible. Merchants. fearful of scanty Christmas trade. were worked nearly to death. Clerks. wondering if they might be cut out of their jobs this hour or the next, served eight custom CTS at a time.
 Scripturally hard times? Santa Claus fixes all that.
