complete result of census enumeration
of Vernon county by precincts. To
close observers of things about them,
the result is no surprise, although some
thing of disappointment and humilia-
ton. Like most rural communities, we
have lost in population, but not to. the
extent of soma counties. Scarcely a
neighborhood in all southern Wisconsin
has retained its normal status in this
respect. Where there has been gain
IN any county it has come through the

In Vernon the loss for ten years,
from 1900 to 1910, is 235, while the
five years last past, 1905 to 1910, is
1,045 For five years, between 1900
and 1905, there was a gain of $40.

questioned our identity, admitted that
our mission was worthy one. but re-
fused absolutely any and all immunity
offered him. This charge and buster
of Deitz is on par with pretty much
every statement and act Of his since he
commenced his career of law defying.
That private citizen of the great
state of Wisconsin should be able so
long to defy the courts, public officials,
terrorize whole communities and set
himself above law and constituted au-
thority, is not creditable to the COM
monwealth. So long as Deitz was con-
tending with a great corporation he
commanded sympathy. The offence for
which he was tried and the one leading
up 10 his crime. is as far removed from
the lumber contention as are the poles
of the earth. He had neither legal nor
moral right to defy the mandate of the
court, and he ought to have submitted
TO the regular processes just as every
other citizen must

ASKS NEW TRIAL
! When the verdict was announced
Dietz at once asked for a new trial,
saying that much material evidence had
been ruled out. In answer Judge Reid
said:
Because you have no attorney

ton, the supreme court should pass
first upon the evidence, and shall deny

/ At this, Attorney Sturdeyant sug-
gested TO Mr.. Dietz that he get an at
torney to prepare the motion in proper
form.
MILWAUKEE, sYMPATHIZERs ACT
Milwaukee dispatch: As soon as the
verdict of the jury became known the
DeitZ relief committee met in George
! Schultes' saloon, who is chairman of the
committee. Deitz was telegraphed their
sympathy. A message was also sent to
Governor McGovern asking relief for
Deitz.
"Deitz had about s12, 900 with which
to conduct the defense, Shultes said

used. Most of it was given by Wis

Nothing could better portray the
true characteristics of Deitz than know
ledge of the fact that he had solicited
and received very large sum Of money
for the purpose Of employing competent
| legal assistance, then refused to en-
ploy an attorney and conducted his own
case and that Of his wife and son, keep
ing the funds thus raised in his behalf
in his pocket. That is Deitz cunning

approaches, we begin to hear about
cattle and horses being killed by hight
ming, sometimes by the half dozen,
while standing in the pasture or while
standing crowded up against q wire
fence. This death loss can be almost
entirely prevented By q careful ground
ing Of the wires. Take a No. 10 OF IL
