NOT JUSTIFIED BY THE FACTS.
1t should be said, however, in
justice to Deitz, that all the facts
bearing upon the matter were not
known to the family of Cameron
Dam farm when the final attack
was made.
To get at the roots of the story
of Cameron dam one must go back
nearly a decade to the days when
the old gang that won for Hayward
the nickname Robbers Roost,"
was at its last geographically.
There was spring election In
Hayward in 1902 and an admins
tration of habitual officeholders
was defeated by comparatively
clean ticket.
The old officials at the town hall
sullenly refused to turn over the
keys and the books of the town Of
flee. They had held office so long
that they simply couldn't realize
defeat.
On the night of the day after
election Hayward was an armed
camp. Then there gathered in a
back room in the town building a
most singlar assemblage. Lined up
on one side of the room were the
defeated officials, police and all,
with their sympatnizers, and on the
other the newly elected officials
and their sympathizers. Both fac
tons were armed.
There was much talk and much

Carrie Foster, as the circus girl

much to the act by doing some
clever tight-rope walking and
changing Of costumes-while on
the wire.
Joseph Harris Bathing Girls"
with Glenwood White and Alber-
tine Benson, were one of the strong
attractions. Their songs were
new and snappy and with the aid
of splendid scenery and beautiful
costumes the act was splendid
success.
Lew Wells, in monologue and
saxophone eccentricities and the
Quigley Bros, dancing and singing
comedians, added much to the
comedy of the bill and were well
received.
The Marlo-Aldo trio presenting a
novelty in gymnastics in good
style, completed the bill

highest courts. This sort of legal
lawlessness" II was that made John
DeitZ an outlaw.
So much is easy. But 1t is not
SO easy to determine just how
much of right and how much of
wrong there is in John Deitz's out
lawry. For the evidence bearing
on the matter is strangely mixed;
the testimony varied and contradic-
tory.
In the first place, the newspaper
stories about Deitz have been uni
farmily misleading. The metropol-
itan press has printed highly col
ored stories written wholly from
the Deitz standpoint, while the To-
cal press, controlled largely by in
terests affiliated with the lumber
industry, has been quite as intern
perate in it's presentation of the
other side.
This sharp division in the press
has fostered an equally sharp d.
vision in the public SO that today
the world outside of northern Wis
consin is strongly prejudiced in
favor of Dietz, while in northern
Wisconsin the general prejudice is
quite as strong the other way.
This state of affairs makes it
hard to get to the rock bottom in
the Deitz affair. Taking the mat
ter from every available angle,
however, the facts that appear
seem to point to some such conclu-
sion as this:
IN GENERAL JOHN DEITZ
HAS BEEN IN THE RIGHT. IN
CERTAIN PARTICULARS HE
HAS BEEN WRONG. IN HIS

that such large amount of his

could not afford sufficient atten-
ton to his church work, and rather
than leave the city he had decided
to give up the pastorate.

OFFERED FOR $4,000

and an Official investigation is
Expected to be
Made.

PARIS. April 2S.-Whether the red
ribbon of the Legion Of Honor, the
most cherished of French govern
ment decorations, has become an OBJ
ject Of barter is question just inject
ed into the political campaign with
sensational effect. Charges have tere-
tofore been circulated that the decora-
tion was sometimes bestowed by fav-
oritism, but corrupt traffic is now for
the first time asserted.
The allegation rests on the word of
DR.. Montprofit, candidate for mayor,
who says the decoration was offered
to him for $4,000 He believes the
man who came to him was an accedit-
ed agent and expresses confidence that
knighthood in the honored order might
have been secured by him had be been
willing to pay that price for it.
Officials and the public are much
disturbed by the charge, of which the
newspapers are taking conspicuous
notice. DR.. Montprofit's political op-
ponents affect to believe that he has
been talking for campaign effect, but
the Legion of Honor is one of the in
stitutions about which joking is not
customary and an official investiga-
tion doubtless will search out the bas-
is of the charge.
