ARGENTINA'S NEW PRESIDENT
His Excellency Senior Saenz Pena Has
! Been Duly Inaugurated

Buenos Ayres, October Pills Ex-
cellency Senior Saenz Pena was today
inaugurated president of Argentina,
with accompanying festivities which
attracted visitors from all over tie
republic. Messages of congratulation
were delivered through their diplo-
matte representatives by the presi-
dents of all American republics and
important European nations. Presi-
dent Pena recently made an extern
sive tour of Europe, and was received
with great honors by all the rulers of
the countries visited. President Taft,
through Secretary Knoy, invited him
to visit the United States, but lack of
time necessitatcd a refusal.
The new chief executive of Argen-
tina is highly progressive and the ma
ton under his leadership is expected to
forge ahead and take a leading place
among the nations of the world The
program OF his predecessor will be adj
hercd to and it is expected that the
Pcna administration will see the addi-
ton of several first class battleships.
Germany and England are now fight
ing bitterly for leadership in trade re-
lations with the prosperous South
American republic, with France also
in the game and the United States
taking such crumbs as fall from the
table. Lack OF proper shipping faciIi-
ties is given as one reason for the
failure of the United States to get it,
share of the trade. Another reason is
that American manufacturers pay too
little attention to the needs of Argen-
tine trade.

clubs or large committees. but we must
not forget that the individual can do
equally good work if he will but take
hold of it in his own way.
When the twin city papers devote Il
large amount of space to commenting
on and approving of the good roads
movement now on in MankatO and vi
entity, it is ample evidence that we
are attracting attention, and that a
large scope of country is interested.
The influence of this occasion will be
felt far away from home, and we are
under obligations to make it as great
Il success as is possible.
There has been enough heard al
ready from remote parts of the county
to show that there is going to be a
large attendance OF farmers here on
the 10Th to hear the speaking. and
that the movement has become OF
county wide interest. The purpose of
getting up the events OF the 10th was
( to work up a keener interest in this
particular locality, but the interest
has already gone Deyond local hounds
and it is up to Mankato and immedi-
ate vicinity to make good on that
day.
There should he meeting of all
committees and all workers some even
ing this week in order TO take account
OF stock as it were. so as to be able
to put the finishing touches on al
arrangements with better effect. The
central committee should have a full
understanding OF what has been done
up to date, and we suggest that this
committee call a meeting of all work
! erS soon.

Route for the Proposed Electric Line
Is Being Picked Out.

Is Being Picked Out.
Surveyors of the proposed new cleo
trio road between st. Paul and Man
kato in charge of Chief Engineer Kay
Alexander completed their labors in
this section last week and moved
north, says The Madison Lake Tribune
Engineer Alexander told The Tribune
that he was very much pleased with
the country, and was certain the COM
pany would take this route to the
cities. He stated to us that he had
made an investigation of the Mime
sofa valley route and did not like it
in any way. He said the company
was not considering that route now.
Up to October 5 the party had To-
Gated eleven miles of line from the
junction of Warren street and Glen
wood avenue in Mankato via Eagle
Lake to the east end of Chestnut
street in Madison Lake. Coming into
Madison Lake the road will enter the
center of town, on good wide street.
and in fact the only practical way OF
entering the town. The crew found
some difficulty in getting out of Nam
kato. TO get line up the regular
Eagle Lake road would require a maxi
mum grade of 6 per cent which while
nearly mile shorter than the Glen
wood avenue route would be a pro-
hibited grade. The GlenwOod avenue
route affords a maximum grade of 3
per cent. After leaving Mankato the
line will swing north east to the Eagle
Lake road and parallel it to the west
side of Eagle Lake After leaving
Eagle Lake the line goes northeast and
strikes the Great Western road at a
point one and a half miles west of
Madison Lake and follows the line
to near town where it crosses the
Murtaugh. Mullen and Pitcher prop
erty, and the Anderson, Swearingen,
Rairdon, Mccarthy and Schumacher
lots coming onto Chestnut strett.
From here the line will parallel the
Chicago Great Western road to Ely
sian. Grading from Mankato to Mad-
son Lake will average $500 cubic yards
per mile, and clearing about ten acres
per the eleven miles.
Engineer Alexander says the people
along the route are friendly and en-
thusiastic about the new line and will
encourage it in every way.
The benefits which will accrue from
this line are imestimable, and great
change for the better will take place
when the line is completed. Not only
will the line stimulate business during
the summer-but naturally open up
this most wonderful section as sum.
mer resort for thousands of people
from the cities, and visitors from all
sections of the country who go to the
north for vacation in the summer
An electric line will not only bring
new residents to every town but viii
bring factories which are on the out
look for good locations.
An electric line from Mankato vii
make Madison Lake the summer home
of many families, will bring crowds oil
visitors here during the week, even,
ings, Sundays and holidays.
:; 1t is expected the line will be il
operation a year hence.

II. III. Schweitzer of Milwaukee is
the guest of his brother, Peter Schweit
ger, in this city. He is accompanied
by Mike Thorn, also of Milwaukee.
Both gentlemen have just arrived here
from Winter, Wis, where they learned
a great deal concerning the Deitz af-
fair. Also they visited the Deitz farm
and the scene of the battle that oc-
Cured between Deitz and the deputy
sheriffs on Saturday last.
Mr.. Schweitzer stated to The Free
Press that the deputy sheriffs who ef-
fected the surrender of Deitz are not
thugs as has been intimated in several
newspapers, but are gentlemen in word
and action. They are men of good
character and served as deputies for
the purpose of upholding the law.
Story of the Battle
The following is a story of the bat
tie at Cameron Dam which was writ
ten for Mr.. Schweitzer by Deputy
Sheriff BrittOn. 1t contains some state
ments that have not until now -
peared in print:
'On Saturday morning, October 8,
John b. Britton and Con. Holland went
to the stronghold of the Deitz family
and laid there until ten o'clock when
Leslie Deitz came across the hill from
the house. Then when he came near
to Britton the call of ''hands up was
heard by Leslie, but did not heed it
and Britton fired at him with 5000
rifle and Leslie ran for the house and
about fifty shots were fired at him,
none of them taking effect so the
rest of the deputies proceeded to fire
at the house. The wife and two small
children were under good cover so no
bullets could hit them: so the firing
kept on until half past two o'clock
when Deitz was hit i'm the left hand
by bullet. He emerged from the
barn with blood streaming from the
wound. In about ten minutes he came
from the house accompanied by his
wife and daughter with white flags
and with his hands up he says: Boys
come and get me, / give up" Then
/ we went to his yard and disarmed him
and the doctor dressed the wound. Os-
car Harp, one of the deputies was
shot through the mouth, the bullet
lodging in the hip. He was killed in.
stantly. Deitz had three sets of guns.
one in his lumber pile, one in the root
house and one in the field. While Brit
ton was in the front of this gun
he says there were at least 100 shots
fired at him, but he being a veteran
of the Spanish American war and also
the Philippine war he was not in the
least effected by the Deitz firing. He
also called to Deitz to come out in
plain sight if he was so brave as he
had said he was, but he would not
heed him. Deitz also had lots of pro-
visions in his warehouse. such as deer
meat and potatoes, etc. His wife said
she had begged him to give I'D. but
he would not. He said he would die
fighting for his rights
Britton is the man who fired the
first shot.
