Hayward. At least one member
of the DeitZ family will be at liber-
ty and in a position to lend aid to his
parents and brothers and sister, If the
plans and intentions of William Deitz,
a brother Of John F. Deitz, material
ize. Bail in any amount to $4,000 will
be placed for Clarence Deitz who will
appear before J. F. Riordan of munic-
ipalz court on two warrants, one charg-
ing him with assault with intent to
kill Bert Horel and the other with
assault with intent to kill John Rogich
and John Heft in September, 1906. 1t
was one of the latter two men who
fractured Clarence's skull with a bullet
and injured one eye so badly that he
is unable to use it now to advantage.
In anticipation Of his freedom, Clar-
ence wrote letter to Miss Maud
Woodward Rice Lake, Wis, whom he
has made his confidant. Both of the
offenses with which he is charged are
bailable under the Wisconsin law and
his release is practically assured re-
CARELESS of the expected opposition of
District Attorney J. c. Davis. L. w.
Robbins, attorney, of Rice Lake, will
appear for Clarence.
To Make Map of Fortress.
A. F. Quail, surveyor of Sawyer
county has been ordered by the district
attorney to map out diagrom of the
Cameron dam fortress and the clear
ing about it, with special reference to
the barn and the spot on which Harp
fell dead with bullet down his throat.
The topography Of the land will be
charted in an effort to prove whether
it would have been possible for the
fatal bullet to have come from any
source other than from the barn.
Mrs. Deitz constantly complains of
the crude prison fare. John Deitz and
Leslie in the lower tier, busy them
selves in reading the large correspond
ence which has been accommodating for
them since the siege. All letters and
answers are first read by the sheriff.
Seven warrants, exclusive of the
three against Clarence and Myra, were
read against the Deitz family in mu
nicipal court.
All the cases were continued to Oct.
10 on motion of District Attorney
Davis, and the Deitzes, who are await
ing counsel.
The following charges against John
F. Deitz were read: Murder of Oscar
Harp; assault with intent to kill upon
Albert Morel; assault with intent to
kill upon John Rogich and John Heft;
assault with intent to kill Patrick Nc
Givin. Mrs Deitz heard warrants
against her for the murder of Oscar
Harp and assault with intent to kill
John Rogich and John Heft Leslie
Deitz was charged with the murder of
Oscar Harp and assault with intent to
kill upon John Rogich and John Heft.
Heft.
Legal Battle Ahead.
A great legal battle which will tax
heavily the treasury of Sawyer coun-
ty, is anticipated if Deitz succeeds in
enlisting the services of Clarence OAR
row, the Socialist lawyer, who secured
acquittal of Meyer and Pettibone. If
barrow appears in defense of Deitz,
the trial will be great task to ]. c.
Davis, the district attorney of the
back woods county.
Davis, since he lent legal support
to the actions of Sheriff Madden and
went sponsor for the methods resort
ed to by the deputies, has come in for
much censure over the wounding of
the Deitz girl. Many are the mis-
takes laid at his door and barrow is
reputed to be great stickler on mis-.
takes. Also, Darrow's Socialistic SEN
timents, if ever hurled in all their well
known augumentive force at the coun-
ty lawyer, are bound to make the trial
one which will be recorded in Wiscon-
sin history. 1t is commonly admitted
here that if Darrow comes it will be
up to Sawyer county to augment the
abilities of Davis with some material,
better able to cope with the Socialist.
