LONDON, Nov. 22-In a speech at
restitution among the English masses,
the chancellor of the exchequer, Lloyd
George, says that OF the 100000
adults who died last year in the Brit

They left no property worth any ones

lead lives of indulgence, dissipation
thriftlessness and extravaganza? Did
the 1000 people who left half the enor-
nous sum pursue careers OF arduous

II is facts such as these-the gigantic
wealth at one end that man cannot

years OF welded life. and still as
happy as the day they were married
is the interesting story of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. T. Ross. VINO live near here
Twenty-Five relatives gathered al their
home to celebrate the anniversary
and also Mr.. Ross eighty-third birth
day.
They were married near Rochester,
n. Y, in 1856. and from there moved
TO near Hudson, Mich, the same year.
In 1863 they removed TO near st.
Louis, when this section was wilder
ness. and have resided here ever
since.
They have seen thriving cities and
villages carved out OF the district that
was a wild region when they answered
the call 10 this state, and fertile and
prosperous farms now dot the land
that was a wilderness of long ago.
The passing OF more than half a cen
fury since they took each other for
better or worse" has not dimmed their
recollections. and in reviewing their
domestic life they state without hest
tation that they took each other "for
better"
Mr.. and Mrs. Ross are well known
In this region. Many congratulations
we're showered upon them and the
hope expressed that they would live
TO celebrate their golden anniversary
and then some.

the public, so that today the world
outside OF northern Wisconsin is
strongly prejudiced in favor OF Deitz
while in northern Wisconsin the gen
eral prejudice is quite as strong the
other way.
This state OF affairs makes it hard
to get to the rock bottom in the Deitz
affair. Taking the matter from every
available angle, however. the facts
that appear seem to point to a con-
clusion as this:
In general. John Deitz has been IN
the right. In certain particulars he
has been wrong. In his stand against
the lumber corporation he was justi-
fed by extraordinary circumstances.
In his final resistance to arrest he was
not justified by the facts.
1.-THE Robbers Roost."
1t should be said, however, in JUS
tice to Deitz. that all the facts bearing
upon the matter were not known 10
the family of Cameron Dam farm
when the final attack was made.
To get to the roots OF the story OF
Cameron dam one must go back near
ly decade to the days when the old
gang that won for Hayward the nick
name Robbers Roost,' was at It's last
gasp-politically.
There was a spring election in Hay
ward in 1902 and an administration Of
habitual officeholders was defeated by
a comparatively clean ticket.
The old officials at the town hall
sullenly refused to turn over the keys
and the books OF the town office. They
had held Office so long that they sim
ply couldn't realize defeat.
On the night after election Hay
ward was an armed camp. Then there
gathered in a back room I'm the town
building a most singular assemblage.
Lined up on one side Of the room were
the defeated officials. police and all.
with their sympathizers, and on the
other the newly elected officials and
their sympathizers. Both factions
were armed.
There was much talk and much NUT
tering and many. threats OF violence.
The brash ones Of the reform crowd
wanted to throw the old gang bodily
out of the upstairs windows The
sheriff, whose sympathies were with
the old gang. wired Gov. LaFollette
for troops.
And all through the hours during
which these factions stood ready TO
fly at each others threats and make
a shambIes of the town hall. one man
stood up between them, and pleaded
for moderation.
That man was John Deitz.
They say that John Deitz spoke Tor
the better part OF two hours that
night. His counsel prevailed. There
was no Haywar riot. The old admin.
istration finally yielded, and turned
over the town TO the new element.
Thus the outlaw of Cameron dam
was brought TO the notice of the in
fiuential men OF Sawyer county, and
thus was he involved in local politics
in such a way as to incur the enmity
OF those men.
Thus also John DeitZ gained q
knowledge of the inside workings OF
"practical" politics. knowledge tha'
made OF him an outlaw, and that drove
him from extreme to extreme Till II
finally precipitated the spectacular
battle waged about Cameron dam OF
Oct. s. and landed Deitz In Hayward
Jail under charge OF murder.
Tomorrow's story will tell OF the
trouble between John Deitz and the
Chippewa Lumber & Boom Co.
