CATCHING TRA|N

In the winter of 10 had my first

gineer who was one of party of rail
road men watching an ice-boat out on
the lake near the roundhouse at
Leeds.

Badger Crops Look Good.

Crop conditions throughout WisSon'
sin are about normal, with slightly
better prospects than in 1910, accord
ing to the spring farm crop report IS
sued by the state board of agriculture
through Secretary r. w. Rowlands.
More favorable weather conditions
than existed last year are forecasted
for this spring and corresponding
good effect is expected on the sum
mer produce.
The only crops that seemed to have
suffered thus far, and are farther be-
hind than they were last year, are
clover and alfalfa, although there
seems to be a slight decrease in win.
ter wheat, barley and spring rye. The
decrease in alfalfa and clover is cred
tied to the long drought of last sum
mer and in many localities where the
clover crop was an utter failure
larger acreage of later planted crops
will be the only means of bringing
the crop up to normal. What clover
survived the drought of last summer
has been handicapped severely by
lack of snow during the winter and
the freezing and thawing weather OF
March and April. Alfalfa seems to
have undergone the same ordeal al
though it is reported in somewhat
better conditions than clover.
Prospects for fruit never were
brighter than this year. The late
spring, so different from that of last
year, when all the buds were out be-
fore the heavy snowfall and frost late
in April, has proved a boon to the
fruit growers Of the state in that the
trees have not blossomed until prac'
tically every fear of another frost has
passed.

King George Dedicates Victoria Me-

London, England presence of
the German emperor and empress and
their daughter, Victoria Louise, who,
rumor says, is to be given in marriage
to the prince of Wales, at King
Georges dedication of the great Vic
toria memorial, and the opening of the
Festival of Empire marked the
beginning of the three months reign
of merrymaking with which the Brit
ish empire will celebrate the corona
ton of the king and queen in June
incidentally putting millions of dol
lars into the pockets of British trades
men.
The dedication ceremonies took
place near Buckingham palace, where
the great monument to the late queen
overtops the Mall and rears its stately
proportions high in the air, crowned
by a gigantic bronze statue of Peace.
A troop of the famous Life Guards
preceded the open carriage of the king
and queen, then followed many more
carriages bearing the prime minis
ter, members of the parliament and
many other persons of note. 'At the
foot of the monument a great plat
form had been erected and it was
there that the actual ceremonies at
tendant upon the dedication took
place.

Assemblyman Long made a futile
effort to save his bill for nonpartisan
election of county officers. The bill
was on the calendar for indefinite
postponement. Mr.. Long made an
impassioned speech for the principle
of the bill and chided the progress
sives for their failure to recognize its
worth.
The bill was killed by a vote of 81
to SO and Mr.. Long Immediately
moved reconsideration.
The assembly reconsidered the vote
by which it last week killed the Har-
per bill increasing salaries of supreme
court justices to $4,000 and advanced
it with an amendment making the sal
aries $1,000 The bill regulating
street sales of newspapers by Eoys
under sixteen years of age was adj
vanced along with the Draper bill pro-
viding for the furnishing and decorat-
ing of the new capitol. The Plowman
resolution for an investigation into
the ACCESSIBILITY of relocating the state
fair having passed the assembly, the
Mahon bill providing for its removal
to Oshkosh was indefinitely postponed
with little opposition.
The Social Democrats, after putting
up snappy fight for the Vint bill to
establish the doctrine of comparative
negligence in street railway injury &C.
lions, won by a vote of SO to %.
The official representatives of the
railway conductors organization sue
ceeded in getting through their bill
which permits railways to charge an
extra ten cents when passengers fail
to buy tickets. At committee meet
ings the conductors had complained
that they were put to great incon-
venience in collecting cash fares and
that they were continually under sus-
picion Of keeping the money thus col
lected.
In the senate the members granted
reconsideration of the Scott bill ma.
king the insurance commissioner ali
appointive instead of an elective Off
Ger. The bill was advanced by the
close vote of II to 10 and there now
is hope that it will get favorable &C.
tion in the assembly. The theory of
the bill is that the insurance commits
sioner should have scientific and not
political qualifications.
e. J. Berner, although he just
returned from a Milwaukee sick
bed, gave evidence that he knew
how to get favorable notice
from the assembly. He secured the
advancement of his "tax-ferret" bill
There was much bitter feeling dis
played, but when the bill came to
a roll call, the assembly refused in
definite postponement by a vote of 81
to 12 The bill then was sent to en-
grossment.

Socially Launched,

In his native town Jimmy had al
ways been most popular with young
and old, but when he was sent away
to boarding school, he was for time
too homesick to make friends. His
first letter was little more than
wall.
I'm way behind the other boys in
everything" he wrote, dolefully.
"'Tisn't only studies, but it's gymna-
SUM and banjos and everything. 1
don't believe they'll ever have much
use for me-"
But the second letter, written after
a week in the new school, was quite
different in tone.
I'm all right" he wrote to his
mother. "The boys say they'll teach
me all they know. for they're proud
to hare me here. l can stretch my
mouth half an inch wider than any
other boy in school, and my feet are
the longest by a full inch. So you
needn't worry about me any more."-

legal visitors did not waste time in
fond good-byes.
Then Deputy United States Marshal
Pugh of Superior came and deposited
on a stump some more papers which
were thrown into the Thornapple.
Sheriff James Gylland, with John Rog-
ish and John Heft and armed posses
hired in Milwaukee and disguised in
the uniforms of Wisconsin National
Guardsmen, crawled on the cabin.
Rogish was shot three times and
Clarence was shot in the head. The
posse left for Milwaukee just ahead
of a fusillade of Deitz' bullets and
ahead of them was Sheriff James CYL
land. Last December in the municipal
court in Hayward, John Deitz, Mrs.
Deitz, Leslie, Myra and Clarence were
bound over for trial on charges of as
sault with intent to KILL
Bert HoreI Affair.
Then came the Bert Horel affair,
September 6, 1910, which changed the
sentiment of the community against
Deitz and his family. During the pri-
mary election in Winter on that day,
Deitz was arguing with G. G. O'Hare
of the school board, when Bert Horel
interfered. Blows were exchanged and
Deitz was knocked in a ditch. Deitz
arose and shot Horel through the neck
and the shoulder. On the charge of
assault with intent to kill Bert Horel,
Clarence was freed last year.
With the growing determination in
Sawyer county to capture John Deitz
at all hazards, the armed posses under
command of Sheriff Mike Madden, Fred
Thorbahn and Roy Van Alstyne, the
latter one of Deitz' worst enemies, sur
rounded the cabin and laid siege to it
for three days, ending Oct. on the
surrender of the head of the family
after he had been shot through the
hand and Deputy John Harp had been
killed by bullet.
A coroner's jury in. Winter attrib-
uted Harp's death to John Deitz, his
wife and his son Leslie. Myra was in
the hospital at Ashland and Clarence
Deitz was in Jail at Hayward, where
they had been taken after they had
been captured on the road to Winter
one week before the fight, when they
ran into an ambuscade of deputies.
The members of the family appeared
in the municipal court of Hayward on
the various charge and were bound
over to the circuit court. All were Ia
ter released on bond. Deitz retained
but one attorney, and when his efforts
to secure a change of venue had failed
Deitz severed connection with him and
took up his own defense before the
law
