There Is Reasonable Doubt Whether

HAYWARD. Mis-, Nov. 2i.--lts per
haps 500 yards from the door or the
Deitz cabin to the knoll in the Deitz
clearing where Leslie Deitz STOOD
about the middle of the forenoon or
Oct. \. All that stretch OF 500 yards
has been tufted here and there by
flying hard-nosed bullets. Leslie Gov
cred The 500 yards while these tufts
we're spouting. They spouted all
around him as he ran, blossoming
about him In little geysers or dust ana
gravel and following him even to the
door Of the cabin.
This run of Leslie's was the begin
ming Of the most spectacular incident
OF the final battle al Cameron dam.
Nobody took Leslie's time for the 900
Yards. but those who saw him run de
clare no other man ever ran 500 yards
as Leslie ran then.
They say Leslie has a charmed
life. Perhaps he has. Certain II Is
that few men have ever had more pot
shots taken at them than he without
scratch TO show for II.
Misunderstanding between Deitz and
the local school authorities regarding
school established In the Deitz cabin
for the benefit of the younger children
The board thought that Deitz's charge
for rent and ianitor service was ex-
brilliant Also they thought he was
too hard TO please in the matter OF a
teacher. Deitz, OH the other hand,

Engages In Fist Fight.
neitz was I'm Winter on the day %
the primary election and while there
he renewed the school controversy
with a member of the school board.
The two came to blows. Bert Horel, a
young hystander, interfered and
knocked Deitz down. The latter rose
and shot his assailant through the
shoulder.
Testimony differs as TO who was the
aggressor Indeed. there are two
sharply differentiating stories as tc
just what happened. Deitz claims that
he shot purely in self-defense. and
that the brawl was a "frame-up." The
Horel sympathiZers declare that DeitZ
was the aggressor.
DeitZ retired 10 his citadel and re-
fused 10 give himself mp. No regular
service OF a warrant was made. Verbal
messages and penciled notes advising
him TO surrender marked the extent OF
official effort to serve warrant upon
him.
Finally Fred Thorbahn, a determined
man with some ambition to be sheriff,
laid before Sheriff Madden a plan for
taking Deitz The plan was accepted.
Thorbahn was made deputy In charge,
and other deputies were sworn in. (In-
cidentaily Tborbahn got $1,000 for

II the defense can show that there is

fatal bullet came from IL will be a
difficult matter TO convict. II seems
probable that this reasonable doubt

Deitz surrendered at 3 o'clock.
