BRAVE DEFENDER OF CAMERON
DAM GOES DOWN BEFORE
SUPERIOR NUMBERS.
ONE DEPUTY KILLED IN BATTLE
Which Ragged Around the Lonely For
est Clearing For Eight Hours
Deitz Has His Hand Shat
tered BY Bullet.

Winter, Wis.,, Oct. 10.-Handcuneo
to Fred Thorbin the man who is his
own sworn enemy, John F. Deitz. the
defender of Cameron dam, surren-
dered at $3.50 Saturday afternoon to
the law and will stand trial.
A bullet wound in Deitz's right
hand, which prevented him from u.s.
Ing his gun to advantage, is supposed
to have fastened the surrender.
Oscar Harp, deputy, was killed.
Deputy Vonpomerlo was with Harp.
Both men made run for the lumber
pile Harp fell dead with bullet in
his mouth.
Mrs. Deitz and Leslie are prisoners,
and are not injured.
The terms of the surrender were
unconditional, other than a request
from Deitz that he be protected from
violence.
Helen Deitz, the 14-year-old daughter
of the prisoner, represented the family
side in the final peace negotiations;
the other side represented by Sully
Heffelhnger of Minneapolis, the man
chosen by Sheriff Madden to go in
and make arrangements with Deitz
and promise him absolute protection
from violence to either himself or his
family.
John Deitz, his wife, his eldest son
Clarence. and his son Leslie occupy
cells in the county Jail at Hayward
while his eldest daughter, Myra, al
though under arrest, is still confined
at the hospital at Ashland as the re.
suit of the bullet she received in the
back from Thorbin's pistol q week
ago.

Tended on Cameron dam for the last
six years during his fearless defiance
of the law and the authorities, is rid.
died with q thousand shots.
Rev. Father PiIon Enters Cabin
Rev. Father J. A. Pilon was the
first to enter the cabin since the pro
gress of the earnest seige.
While Helen, acting as her fathers
emissary Of peace, was asking the
deputies for protection from violence
he brave Catholic priest, learning
that there were wounded in the shack
took advantage Of the truce and Will
the permission of Sheriff Madden
crossed the clearing to the cabir
whore he lent assistance to thu
wounded father.
The interior Of the Deitz cabin il
one mass Of bullets. Every log ii
riddled and daylight peeks in at every
angle.
During the shooting, Mrs. Deitz and
Helen and John, Jr., occupied posi-
lions Of comparative safety, behind 9
barricade of boxes, chairs and the
organ in the living room floor.
To Mrs. Deitz is given the credit o.
the surrender with the loss of only
one life. With Helen and Johnnie a
