safety devices which would IN

D!ETZ CASE TO HIGH COURT
Arrangements to Be Made at Lawyers
Meeting for Appeal in Behalf of
Cameron Dam Defender.

Fond du Lac.-A conference held
here between the attorneys in the
Dietz case resulted in an agreement
to appear before Judge A. H Reid
at Wausau on Nov. % to reach a
final agreement of exceptions to be
embraced in the bill to be filed with
the supreme court by the defense.
1t was found, it is said, among
other things that of the 1900 pages
of testimony in the Dietz murder
trial, when the defender of Cameron
dam was tried for the killing Of
Deputy Sheriff Oscar Harp, at least
900 includes evidence absolutely i'm
material to the case. This evidence,
according to Maurice McKenna of
this city, who represents DietZ, re-
lates to some fifteen or twenty other
offenses Dietz is alleged to have COM
mitted.
The testimony, according to Mr..
McKenna, shows that Dietz, who con-
Quoted his own case, failed in scores
of instances to take the proper ex-
ceptions.
The defense wants the bill of ex-
ceptions to show certain questions of
law which Mr.. Dietz did not ask at
the trial by reason of his lack of
knowledge of legal procedure.

RECALL OTHER BAD STORMS
Weather Bureau Records Show Rock
County Cyclone as Fourth That
Has Devas tated Wisconsin.

Madison.-Accordin to the rec
ords at the weather bureau at the
University of Wisconsin there have
been three disastrous tornadoes, in
which lives were lost in Wisconsin,
previous to the one near GAINESVILLE.
There are also others of more re-
mote date which are not registered.
On July Z, 1877, the little village
Of Pensaukee, Oconto county, was to-
tally destroyed by tornado which
passed through the center Of the
town. Eight persons were killed and
about fifty severely injured. Nearly
all the houses and outbuildings in
the village were leveled and the loss
to live stock and crops was large.
At Racine on May IS, 1888, por-
ton of the city was destroyed by a
tornado and storm in which twenty
five persons lost their lives and 100
were injured. The property loss
amounted to about 100000.
By far the greatest damage that
was felt by any part of Wisconsin
through a wind storm was in New
Richmond, when, on June 10, thirty
three persons were instantly killed
and within a week seven more had
died as the effects of the storm
which all but wiped that village off
the map.
