D|ETZ GIVES IN
LATE SATURDAY
Surrendered to Officers Only After
Sheriff Had Promised Safe Trans.
portation to Jail.

Winter Wis, Oct 9-Jonn II. Deitz,
wounded but securely handcuffed, is on
his way to Winter in custody of Sheriff
Mide Madden, according to word that
drifted into Winter Saturday night.
The surrender of Dietz came after a
long battle in which more than 1000
shots were fired Dietz himself was
wounded. The attack was costly to
the attackers, at least one of them be-
ing killed Oscar Harp, deputy, was
found dead on hill back of the Dietz
cabin after Dietz had surrendered.
Chet Colt and James Rankin, deputy
marshals were both wounded. Five
others are missing and the woods are
being searched for them.
In order to get peace Dietz's daugh-
ter, Helen appeared in the clearing
in front of the cabin bearing a white
flag, after a fierce battle had been
waged for hours between the Dietz
family in their cabin and barn and
nearly one hundred picked sharp-shoot-
ers and deputy sheriffs in the woods
at the edge of the clearing.
Helen Dietz's appearance was the
signal for a cessation of the deputies
fire No shots had come from the
house for several minutes before the
girl appeared. She walked bravely
across the clearing and was met few
yards from the edge of the woods by
Sheriff Madden. She was weeping and
said he father had been shot in the
head She also said he would surren-
der if given safe conduct into Winter
with his family This was promised,
and Father Philon, the Catholic priest
at Winter, went to the cabin with Chief
Deputy Fred Thorbahn to handcuff
Dietz. Despite this promise of the
officials there were threats heard that
Dietz would be lynched. All of the
saloons in Winter have been closed
in an effort to prevent a disturbance.
Apparently Dietz surrendered only
after wound had incapacitated him
for further defense of his home. 1t
appears that the outlaw of Cameron
Dam, unable to use a weapon himself,
refused to allow his wife, second son
and younger daughter to continue with
out his aid what he finally realized was
an unequal battle.

turn ON the big flow This, with suit

weeks. thus enabling the company to
furnish plenty of gas before the cold
days come
Last spring the line was started but
the company was forced TO stop on ac-
count of an injunction. but recently
the corporation commission caused the
injunction TO be Dissolved and ordered
the consumers at Miami and Vinita to
be supplied
The delay of the company in com

The cattle market began to improve
last week after Monday, and by the
close Of the week the price Of steers
was Is cents higher. and COWS had
gained 10 10 20 cents Quarantine
cattle got this advance. although as a
general thing the receipts Ia that d.

Of the end Of the season. Total sup

5000 head, and the grand total Of re-
ceipts, $1,000 head, was considerable

shippers quit shipping after Monday,

cattle will be scarce till after Christ

demand, and are advising owners to
hold back for advances whenever It is
convenient
Although some advance was scored
on hogs on different days last week,
buyers managed TO end up the week
with net advance of Is cents per
