BITTER FIGHT ENDED.
JohnDeitz, After Struggle of Years in
Defying whole State, Succumbs at
Last-Himself and Others in His
Family Wounded.

Hayward, Wis, Oct 9-After a
long struggle which lasted years and
in which he defied a whole State,
John Deitz, the defender of Cameron
dam, has been at last taken prisoner,
but not until he, his eldest daughter
and two sons had been wounded, did
the plucky old man give up.
Deitz was the owner of the Gamer
on dam and some time since a large
lumber corporation got permission
of the court to float logs over the
dam. This Deitz resisted and defied
the sheriff to serve the papers on
him. Whenever one approached the
cabin he was fired upon. The mem
bers of his family were as plucky as
he and his oldest daughter was a
dead shot.
| On Saturday morning last the
! daughter while ON her way to town,
was shot and wounded in the back: it
! is feared, fatally. The house was
surrounded by over a hundred depu-
ties and a pitched battle took place
One deputy was killed, another had
his ear shot off and others slightly
wouded. Deitz himself and his son
Leslie, were wounded. and he was
forced to give up. fearing that his
wife and little children would be
killed.
Even after he surrendered the of.
ficers feared to approach him and
made a rush. finally placing the hand
Guns on him. He and the entire fam.
lily were taken to town and locked
up, under the charge of murder.
The entire country watched the
plucky, but lawless, fight of the OLD
man and many spmpathize with him

ABOUT THE BONDS.

DSNDo.
The Difference and Who is Concerned
Hendersonville Times.
What is there in the recent demo-
cratic cry of Butler and Bonds?"
Nothing at all.
Were not some Reconstruction"
bonds issued and afterwards repudi-
ted?
Yes.
Has not an attempt been made to
collect that debt
Was not Marion Butler connected
with that attempt to enforce payment
of the reconstruction bonds?
No, he was not in any way connect
ed with any such attempt.
Well, who was it that tried to en-
force payment of these "reconstruc-
ton bonds?
A Southern Democrat of National
prominence was one of the leading
spirits. His name was John G. Car
Isle. But Butler never had any con-
nection with the case
Certain Democratic politicians and
organs have been indulging in good
deal of misleading talk about But
talk is due probably to ignorance
inexcusable and reprehensible ignor-
ance; but part of it seems to be just
plain lying!
The facts in the case are as fol-
lows:
About fOrty-three years ago some
bonds were issued by the Democratic
administration in this State, these
bonds being signed by Jonathan
Worth, Governor, and Kemp P. Bat
| tie, State Treasurer. Afterwards
other bonds were issued. The consti-
/ tuition of 1875, (Which was ratified by
the people, repudiated some bond is
sues but did not repudiate the Worth
Battle issue. The legality and valid
ity of the Worth-Battle bonds were
never denied or questioned. But a
few years later the legislature did
try to compromise with the bond
holders by offering to redeem them at
less than par, and number of bond
holders agreed. The holders of about
$25O,000 of the Worth-Battle bonds
did not accept any compromise, but
tried to get an honest settlement, and
after number of years they employ
ed two well-known lawyers to collect
them. One of these lawyers was
Marion Butler, the other was Fabiul
H. Busbee, a Raleigh Democrat, and
through the efforts of these lawyers
an honest settlement was affected.
That is Marion Buffers connection
? with the State bonds; he was EN-
ployed to collect a debt incurred b.
/ Democratic Administrations deb
: which was legally incurred, for which
2 value was received, and the validit,
Of which was never denied
r But what did Butler have to d,
2 with the Reconstruction" bonds
t Nothing at all.
D The bonds which Butler and Bus
t bee were employed to collect wer
;, the bonds issued by the Democratic
}, administration of which Jonathan
: Worth was Governor and Kemp P
!, Battle Treasurer. The debt was just
!. ought to have been paid and finall
q has been paid.
J. There were other bond issues
S there were the Reconstruction
= bonds which have been repudiated
but it was not Butler who tried t
secure payment of them. The me
who tried to have those "reconstruc
ton bonds paid were a syndicate i
which John G. Carlisle Ca prominen
y Southern Democracy was a movin
y spirit. Whatever blame attaches t
n that attaches to John G. Carlisle an
n his associates. Neither Butler no
Q any other Republican was ever nike
!. up with that mess.
,. Let the Democrats tote their ow
burdens.
