Froelich, and had long interview with
the hunted man. They endeavored to
persuade him to surrender, and failing
in that, suggested that he might at
least send his family to place of
safety, but Dietz refused to accede to
even this last proposition.
With the failure of Governor David
sons messengers the last hope of
peaceable surrender vanished. The
temporary truce was raised, and prob
ably the final battle began this morn
ing.

danger in a hospital at Ashland. None

and stated it to be their belief that
North Wisconsin people are not so bad
after all, and would give Dietz fair
trial.
