There amt no justice In Sawyer
county"
Mike Madden. the sheriff, in ordering
the railroad telegrapher not to accept
any dispatches from newspaper men
about the shooting Of Miss Dietz
stated:
There's been too id much pub
licity about this stuff already"
Public sentiment in Winter. and the
firm stand of DIR. H. j. Burns forced
the deputies professedly to give up
their plans Of taking the girl to Hay
ward. where there is no hospital but
a JAIL and to consent to take her to
ST. Joseph's hospital, at Chippewa
Falls
AT the time this alleged plan was
announced. however, there was no in
tention of taking Miss Dietz to Chip
pewa Falls Deputy Sheriff Fred Thor
balm admitted after the train left that
she was to be taken to hayward
In spit of the half dozen heavily
went to smash. For John Dietz has a
brother. Bill Dietz of Rice Lake.
Uncle Bill OverruIes Guards.
Bill Dietz has been openly hostile to
his turbulent brother for long time.
but the shooting of his niece swept
all differences away. Bill Dietz climbed
on the train bearing Myra to Jail at
Brentwood, a station on the logging
road just before it strikes the main
line He started to walk into the bag
gage car. where the sick girl lay under
guard of wild west escort. but was
confronted with an array of guns and
ordered back by Under Sheriff Arntson
Dietz is a physical giant and he
simply brushed aside the guns and
men. knelt beside the girl, kissed her
and burst into tears. Then they told
him they were not going to take her to
Chippewa Falls.
He said that was all right and they
told him they were going to take her
to Hayward
He said that was all wrong, for he
had already decided in which hospital
in Ashland he was going to place her.
She went to Ashland.
Miss Dietz became much worse dur
ing the night and her death is consid-
cred not improbable, yet she was not
allowed to communicate with her par
ents nor have they been informed of
her condition.
Ignore Doctors Orders.
A sharp alteration took place be-
tween Under Sheriff George Arntson
and DIR. H. J. Burns, when Miss Dietz
was removed from the hotel to the
| train. The baggage car was stopped
squarely at the foot Of the main street.
The hotel is a short block up the
street. The doctor insisted that the
extremely serious condition of his pa
tient made it imperative that she be
! taken by the shortest and smoothest
route to the train.
| The terror inspired in the standing
army Of Winter by the old farmer,
| however. was SO great that the under
| sheriff ordered the men to carry the
| girl over circuitous route, thru back
| alleys, ankle deep in the n1ire. The
men swore freely as theYsslopped thru
the drizzle with their burden. No doc
tor or nurse acc6EnR s.s--sSd the wounded

| you're not shot; you Just think you
are" roughly remarked one of the
deputies who had fired into the buggy
| at the time she was ambushed.
When the girl had been got out Of
town without any action on the part
of her father. the idea that he might
attack the town was abandoned and the
sheriff made up his mind that he must
take the aggressive. Thus far. how
ever, it has not been a rash agrees
| sive.
! Dietz Has Splendid Arsenal.
| Dietz Is known to have a large ar
| senal Of the finest guns made in this
country or in Europe, and many boxes
of cartridges. He can pick the spots
| off a card with his rifle or drive nail
| in tree with his automatic pistol at
! long range.
| So there is peace at the Dietz home
stead, altho the woods are full of dep
uty sheriffs and Winter is practically
under martial law.
| The postmaster has refused to allow
the Dietz mail to be taken to those to
whom it is addressed
| f. r. Kozlik. the agent for the Amer
lean Express Company, has been order
ed by the sheriff not to deliver to any
one a package which has come for
I Dietz.
Operator Olson also has been ordered
to allow no news to be sent out by wire
or phone, but that order has been a
dead letter.
Only the saloons are prospering. for
| the excitment has drawn a large num-
Der OF Chippewa Indians from the
nearby reservation. halfbreeds from
their little holdings, and lumber Jacks
| from the camps. The town is full of
| drunken men who ignore the deputy
sheriffs and strut about in their heavy
boots, bright red mackinaw jackets or
woolly sheepskin coats and conspicu-
ously display rifles and automatic re-
