WINTER, WIS.,, READY
To WAR WITH DiETz
Outlaw of Cameron Dam Sends
Notice to Town

Men carrying automatic revolvers
and shot guns are patrolling all streets
and guard all approaches to Wiz
ter, Wis The enemy feared is en-
camped ten miles southeast of the
little numbering village on a bare,
lonely hill in the center of thousands
of acres of wild forest land The
enemy consist of one cool frontier
farmer, named John F. Dietz, and his
21-year-old son, Leslie, wife, and
boy aged z, John F. Jr, and a daugh-
ter, Helen, IA years old. The Diets
in spite of their record of having for
eight years successfully defied the po-
lice and the federal courts received
reporters and fed them with venfson
shot on the farm.
When told that his daughter, Myra.
% years old, was shot through the
back by sheriff's posse and lay seri-
ously ill at the Winter hotel and that
his 23-year-old son, Clarence, had been
sent to Jail at Hayward, in handouts
with bullet hole in his arm, Dietz re-
marked with dry, hard laugh: Tell
them in Winter that I'm coming in"
hence the state of alarm.
The populace of Winter is only
about a hundred and feeling is in
tense. For years public sentiment
has been against the Diets, but the
shooting of his daughter seems to have
turned the current, to a large extent,
in his favor and the town as a result
is a magazine of conflicting passions.
The shooting of the two Dietz chill
dren came about in an effort to cap
ture John F. Dietz, the outlaw of Cam
eron Dam, who is wanted for shooting
a man during an election row Sept /.
The sheriff expected him to go to Win
ter, and waited for him at the side of
a road When the Dietz buggy ap-
preached, Sheriff Madden ordered the
three occupants to throw up their
hands, and when they they failed to
obey opened fire at close range.
Dietz had stayed at home having
learned that the sheriff was near, and
had sent his daughter with his sons,
thinking the officers would not shoot
if she was along. She, as well as the
boys, was armed. Leslie Dietz es-
capped through shower of bullets to
warn his father.

SPORTING AFFAIRS.
. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Johnny Evers, the famous second
baseman of the Chicago Cubs, injured
in the recent Cubs Cincinnati game
when sliding to the home plate in the
fifth inning, was more seriously hurt
than was at first reported. Evers
broke three bones in his right leg in
stead of one. He will be unable to
play in the worlds series and his en-.
tire career as player may be af-
fected by the painful accident that has
befallen him.
George Cotton, the giant negro pro-
tege of Champion Jack Johnson, re-
ceived fearful beating at the hands
of Tony Ross, the Italian heavyweight
of Newcastle, Pa, at Pittsburg.
Nothing but the blacks ability to
withstand punishment saved him from
knockout and he was repeatedly
forced to hug to stop the rain of blows
showered on him by Ross.
Packey Mcfarland, the Chicago
fighter, outpointed Fighting Dick Hy-
land in a 10-round bout at the Fair
mount A. c., but once again he showed
that he could not hit with any great
power. In the last round Mcfarland
cut loose and put it ali over his oppo-
nent. Hyland was game and willing,
but he was clearly outclassed.

The Stems OF the Prickix Pear.

In most plants, to pat it simply,
the leaves arc the mouths and stom
achs Of the organism. Their lhin
and hattcnc(l blades are spread ovt
horizontally in a wide cxpansc, coy
cred with tiny threats and lips
which suck in carbonic acid FROM
the surrounding air and disintcgrate
it in their own cells under the in
fuence Of sunlight. In the prickly
pears, on the contrary, it is the Aat-
tened stem and branches which IN
dertake this essential operation in
the life Of the plant-the sucking
in Of carbon and giving out Of ox,v-
gen, which are to the vegetable cx-
actly what the eating and digesting
of food are to the animal organism.
In their old age, however, the stems
of the prick]y pear display their
true character by becoming woody
in texture and losing their articu-
lated, lcaflike appearance.

II HUNTERS
LOST LIVES
Fatality List for Hunting
Season Shorter
than Usual

Guthrie, okla. Feb 4--The shorten
ing OF the quail seasss. in Oklahoma.
which closed Feb. /. seems to have re-.
suited in a material lessening of the
loss OF life by reason Of hunting acct.
dents. Seventeen deaths resulting
from accidental discharge Of fire arms
during the open season this year have
been reported so far, as against thirty
three last year. decrease of practi-
cally 80 per cent in the number Of IA
talities. Only nineteen serious inip-
ries have been reported, making the to-
tai casualty list thirty-six, as against
seventy last year and nearly eighty
the year before. showing about the
same percentage Of decrease.
The quail season formerly lasted
from Oct. IS to Jan. 81, but under the
new law passed by the last legislature
III does not start now. until Nov IS, clos
ing on the same date as before. This
cuts an entire month off the season,
leaving tel weeks, instead Of fourteen
as before. This fact doubtless had
much 20 do with lessening the number
d accidents, and the further fact thar
hunters license is now required had
tendency 10 lessen the number Of ir-
respunsisie people abroad in the hunt
ing field
Eve n at is is nov, however, the
death roll Is appalling, with loss Of
seventeen lives in ten weeks, or an
average Of rather more than one every
five days during the season. The death
list includes:
