WIRE CONCERNS IN ROW
Postal Company Complains to Service
Board Of Rivals Charges on Re-
Iayed Messases-Mackay Lines Maxi
ina Widespread Fight.

New York, Oct. 4-The Postal Tel
egraph Gable Company has made COM
plant to the public service commission
of the second district of the charges
exacted by the Western Union for bus
Iness originating on Postal lines, and
has asked for an order restraining the
Western Union from discriminating
against competitors" In the matter of
rates. This action Of the Postal COM
pany in this state is in line with SIM
and other subsidiaries of the Mackay
companies ever since the purchase by
the American Telephone and Tel
egraph Company last year of the DOM
mating influence in the Western Union
company. At that time Clarence III.
Mackay made a statement denying that
the Postal would have any share in
the American Telephone and Telegraph
Company's domination of the Western
Union, and shortly thereafter the
Mackay companies sold their ss.200.000
par value holdings of the American
Telephone and Telegraph stock. Since
then Maclkay interests have bitterly
JOuSHL DOtn Lu6 OIHer companies. AcSl
June a suit was started in New Mex
aco charging conspiracy between the
telephone company and the Western
Union, and the way opened for action
under the antitrust laws in several Of
the southwest states.
The complaint laid before the public
service commission alleges where the
Postal has no offices and is obliged to
send its messages over the Western
Union wires for delivery the latter
company makes excessive charges. The
practice is for the Postal, when it de-
rives a message for delivery in a town
where the Western union has the only
office, to collect from the sender of the
message the same fee as is charged by
the Western Union between the send
ing point and the destination. 1t trans
mits over it's own lines to the nearest
point possible and then turns it over to
the Western Union The latter, the
complaint alleges, not only charges the
local foa, from the point at which 1t

minutes late. II came Into sight around
the curve at a fair speed. As the en-
gine was crossing a switch at Sixth

drivers caught outside frog and
caused the engine to leave the tracks.
The engineer had the train under al
most perfect control but the engine
ran along for about n car length on
the ties. Then the engine left tho ties
and plunged into the sand up to the
boiler on the right side.
The tender and all tho cars remained
on the tracks. altho why the entire
train was not derailed is q wonder.

TELEGRAM FROM MILWAUKEE

ON THE WAY.
NEWSPAPER MAN ARRESTED
AND THRUST INTO JAIL
Staff photographer Who Attempted to
Reach Dietz Home Halted by Of
ficers-Armed Men Completely Sur
round Dietz granddaughter May
Recover From Gunshot Wounds.

Winter, Wis, Oct. 4.-George LuXten,
a photographer for minneapolis
attempted to reach the
John Dietz farm today and was arrest
ed by Deputy Sheriff Wiley, who is
one of the special officers guarding the
road to the Dietz farm. Luxten was
brought back to Winter and forced into
a cell at the point of gun.
A telegram believed to be from a
crank was received from Milwaukee to-
day by the operator here, saying:
Send word to John Dietz to hold the
fort. Reinforcements are coming from
Milwaukee"
Fred Thorhn, chief deputy sheriff
here, says he does not know how Dietz
is going to get the message.
Officers Are High Handed.
Deputy Sheriff Wiley, who brought
Luxten to the lookup, was asked by a
newspaper correspondent what LuXten
did. and the only answer was: He did
enough" The same correspondent
asked Sheriff Madden by whose orders
martial law was declared at Winter.
Madden said by his authority. When
asked if he had authority to declare
martial law without instruction from
the governor, Madden declared he had
authority from headquarters. He would
not say it was from the governor, but
Indirectly that it was from Circuit
Judge Wickham at Eau Claire. Wick
ham over the telephone said he was not
Maddens advisor. The sheriff, how
ever, would give no further explana-
ton.
Luxten was later released on
promise not to again attempt to see
Dietz. All mail to and from Dietz is
being held up and the telegraph COM
pany forbidden to deliver messages tc
him.

ARMY CLOSING in.
Armed Men Surround Dietz Homo in
Circle of Many Miles,

Circle of Many Miles.
Winter, Wis, Oct. 4.-The standing
army of Winter is slowly closing in on
the homestead Of John F. Dietz "the
outlaw of Cameron Dam" but present
indications are that there will be no
immediate bloodshed
Since yesterday morning, when the
daughter of the old farmer was taken
to the hospital at Ashland the besiesed
town has regained it's normal quota of
Indians. halfbreeds. and drunken white
men, while the greater part Of the
army Of deputy sheriffs has ventured
to form a Gordon about sixteen miles
in diameter AROUND the Dietz home
Some, however, are left to patrol the
town, and several, with loaded rifles
escorted the wounded and possibly
lying girl on her way to the hospital
The present plan of the standing
army is to close in slowly on Dietz
preventing any communication be-
tween him and the outside world until
he is forced by starvation or impati-
ence to leave his forest fortress.
No one can tell when a desire to
know the condition of his daughter
may cause an outbreak on his part
with bloodshed as a certain result, but
it will be a long time before starvation
affects him.
Dietz Larder Well Supplied.
He has eight cows, ten deer Strung
up," pigs, chickens, several barrels OF
flour, a barrel of sugar, large quanti-
ties of vegetables, and a spring OF
fresh water. He lacks coffee and tea
and it was to obtain these that the grl
and two boys were coming to White,
on Saturday when fired upon
The martial law under which the
town has been since the shooting was
relaxed today when the Gordon was
sentries are stationed two miles ou,
Of Winter and eight miles from the
farm. Persons may leave the town
but are halted by the deputies rifles il
they attempt to approach nearer than
eight miles to the Dietz place.
Altho Judge ]. Wickham, of Eau
Claire, is quoted as authority for it
this procedure is generally believed to
be entirely illegal However, no one
has any desire to test it by insisting
on his right to walk up the road and
being thrown into the dirty town jail
as a result. The officials who have
failed for eight years to serve any
papers on Dietz are more than willing
to exercise their power on some one
not quite so sure and reckless with a
gun.
