There was considerable shooting,

one of the deputies, was shot

AMERICAN BURIED MONTHS IN FOUL MEXICAN
PRISON FOR SAVING TIE OF LITTLE CHILD
Turned His Auto Into a
Monument and Suffered
for This Crime Against
the Recommendation He
Doesn't Care How Soon
Uncle Sam Cleans Up
Across Rio Grande.

X OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 20
There is one man, an American,
who wants to see this Mexican bust
ness go through. In fact, he is
eager for it, with an eagerness that
amounts well-nigh to a passion.
This Americans name is Joseph
Klihglesmith. He lives in Okla
homa City, U. s. A.
He is proud of the U. S. A. More
so, for the reason that he lived
once in Mexico. And he is hoping
that the U. S. A. does things to
Mexico.
The reason?
He spent three days less than
three months in Mexican prison.
The offense?
To save the life of a child he
ran an automobile into a govern
ment statue in the City of Mexico,
and knocked the statue over.
In the U. S. A. this would have
made Klinglesmith a hero, for he
risked his life and suffered a
broken arm to save the life of the
child.
In Mexico? This is what it did
to Klinglesmith in Mexico:
1t landed him in a slushy and
vermin-infested dungeon, where
he was forced to set his own
broken arm with splinters torn
from the rotting floor, and where,
with II other prisoners, he remain.

Deitz holds).
TIL legal toll on logs driven over
dam is 10 cents per thousand
feet. .,..-..
Deitz had it figured out that
something like eighty million feet
of timber had gone over his dam in
the time he had been in possession
of the property. Naturally he
wouldn't settle for $500.
The lumber company secured a
temporary injunction enjoining
Deitz from interfering with the
driving of logs over the mooted
point. The Iliad of Cameron dam
was in earnest.
That was nearly seven years ago.
From that date to the eighth of DC.
tober of this year, John Deitz held
the dam against all corners.
From the start Deitz deliberately
chose to trust in his Winchester
rather than in the north Wisconsin
courts. He knew that the corpora
ton with which he, was fighting
was affiliated with the Weyerhaus-
err interests. He knew what that
meant.
He knew that his opponent could
command money without limit;
could carry any litigation to
lengths that would make it impos,
sible for him to win, even IL his
quarrel were altogether just and
the courts wholly incorruptible and
unbiased. For John Deitz didn't
have any money to spend in long
drawn-out litigation.
So he chose to be an outlaw.
Whether he chose wisely or not is
a question that must needs be
looked at in longer perspective
than that in which it appears now
before it can be settled with any
degree of certainty. But that he
chose heroically is beyond reason
able question.
The story of the seven years
struggle over Cameron dam runs
the whole gamut from farce-comedy
to tragedy.
1t involves the story of how a
snorting COW, with tail in air, I'M
consciously won the soubriquet OF
''Deitz's scout"-and of how a
grievously wounded man, deserted
by cowardly companions, crawled
through the trackless woods for
two days and nights, suffering
agony unspeakable from exposure
and fly-blown wounds.
1t involves the story of how one
sheriff of Sawyer county (Peter-
SOM was fined and locked up in his
own Jail because he wouldn't go af-
ter John Deitz-and also the story
of how a young wife whose babies
had recently died, was left wholly
