.SWEARS DEITz
ADMIT ! TED FIRING.
Deputy 1horbahn on Stand
in Murder Trial.
POINT NOT CONTESTED

Neither Of the Defendants Refer to
This Part Of the Testimony in Cross.
Examining the Witness-Former
State Officials Will Tell on Stand
That Deitz Knew That Warrant
Was Issued for Him.
Hayward, Wis, May ST. fired at
you twice as you were walking across
the tiowage, didn't l, Thorbahn?"
Testimony that Deitz made this re-.
mark to the head of the deputies soon
after the surrender was given in the
Deitz murder trial. 1t was the first
time in the trial that direct evidence
has been introduced to show that 1.-The
old man" fingered a trigger on Oct s
last In his cross examination he has
consistently given the impression that
he was merely an onlooker
Deitz made no reference to the al
legged conversation in questioning the
and Leslie also passed it by.
Against the constantly reiterated
question of the defense-"Couldn't the
shots have come from somewhere
else ?"--the state is steadily putting
on deputies who heard the reports and
believe they came from the loft of tn,
barn. The number of men who have
SO testified has increased from five to
eleven.
The strangeness of the proceedings
is shown by the fact that in the entire
course of the trial to date, only two
objections have been entered, and
they were both from John Deitz. The
prosecution has raised it's voice in
protest only once, and then the OBJ,
lection was not technical.
WiIfuIiy Resisted Arrest.
The state is now preparing to show
the intent. Former Governors Score.
tary o. G. Munson and former Attor!
ney General f. L. Gilbert are in town.
They will testify that for two days
before the shooting began they plead
ed with Deitz to come out peaceably,'
offering him generous terms of i'm
munity on the authority of Governor
Davidson. The prosecution will argue
from this testimony that Deitz Wilfully
resisted the law and is responsible fore
the consequences
An attempt to show the intent will
be made from another direction when
Deputy United States Marshal w. G!
Appleby and former Deputy United
States Marshal Carl Jonas take the
stand and testify that as long ago as
1905 they were prevented by Deitz
from serving processes on him.
Henry Thayer, the first witness of
the day, was one of the deputies close
to the scene Of the Harp killing He
testified he saw flashes from the barn
as Harp died. On cross-examination
Deitz made him admit he had no
means of knowing it was one Of these
shots that caused the death.
Deitz tried to make the point that
the reports the deputies said came
from the barn might have been the

HIGH SCHOOL
SENIORS ARE
ENTERTAINED
Faculty Arranges Unique Program
of Sports at Home of City
superintendent

The first of the commencement
festivities for the High school was
last Friday when the faculty of the
school entertained the senior class
at the home OF Superintendent c..
r.. Carter at 1402 Tenth avenue.
There are SO members of the class
this year, the division of boys and
girls being about even.
The entertainment provided was
unique in character and apropos of
the day, the afternoon of which had
been devoted to field meet be-
tween the high schools of the Nor
NAL Greeley and Eaton. The pro-
gram called for all sorts of athletic
events, but owing to the limitations
of the parlor floor there were quail
fications made.
In putting the shot, bag of wind
was used. The 100 yards dash was
made chewing strings toward a
large red stick of candy on the CEN
ter table Clever devices for the
various events made the sports
doubly enjoyable.
AT the conclusion of the program
there We're refreshments and class
songs. Today the seniors are en-
joying a picnic in Wylie's grove.

BRE VERY PIPE
LINE IS OPENED
BY NUM- man
AmbCr Stream Discovered in Dig
Riug Well and all Neighbors
are Busy on the Job

E. A. Carr, who lives about four miles
northwest of here, believes he has struck
an underground pipe line from some brew
cry. While digging a we'll on his place
he struck stream which has the amber
color and which he says foams just like
beer.
Whether it will give that feeling of Joy
which is said TO be associated with beer
he does not know. He says he is wait
ing for someone to come up from Num-
and make the test But of course there is
no one here who would know the differ
ence between beer and rainwater. SO he
will probably send sample over to Milli-
ken.
Should this prove to be the genuine
stuff the government geological survey
will no doubt be put work Immediately
following the course OF the foamy under

Mayor Says Ego to it"

Mayor Mayher then made a few
remarks.
Mayor Says "gO to it,
1--WE are here to get light on this
subject, gentlemen" he said, "and
Il want everyone who has something
to say to get up and say it. This is
a free for all discussion and there are
no favorites. This matter is of vital
importance to the city and we want
all of the light we can get before
taking action"
Elbert English, who was assistant
chief of the volunteers for the past
six years and who was recently
elected secretary, refuted the charge
that the volunteers had ceased to at
tend fires and gave the names of ten
men who we're present at fires men,
toned. c. c. Townsend said that
the system Of giving alarms was
wrong and that the volunteers did
not get notice of fires. He took a
fall or two out of Mr.. Adams for his
letter to the council.
New Alarm System
Paul Geiser told of the present
status of the new alarm system
which, he said, had been further de-
layed through mistake in an order
for material. He thought that the
system would be ready for a test by
next Wednesday. w. H. Thompson
declared that there had been no
alarms sounded to notify the volun-
teers since the auto truck and the
paid department had been inaugu-
rated. All the speakers agreed that
there had not been sufficient notice
given the volunteers.
New Chief Called
The mayor called for Mr. Dye, the
new chief OF the volunteers, who
was applauded as he went to the
front. Mr.. Dye explained that all
the volunteers wanted was an effic-
lent department. that all had lost
more money in spoiled clothing than
had ever been paid to them by the
city and that they had demonstrated
their worth in the past, which was
suicient reason for the same system
to be pursued in the future. The
system, he said, could be made most
effective through the sounding OF
alarms by the siren whistle. which
is contemplated under the new elec-
trio alarms. o. d. Neill said that
there had been disposition to fg-
more the volunteers since the paid
department had been established.
Venables Explains
George Venables, captain of the
station, took the floor and explained
the other side of the proposition.
He thought that the paid depart
ment should not be under the or
ders OF a volunteer chief because 1t
required some one who was on the
spot all the time with no outside
business to detract him or take his
time. He said the alarm whistle
was not a success. because the sig
nails were hard to read and that in
most cases the alarms came In by
telephone. He said that the volun-
teers would get tired Of turning out
for every alarm, when In most cases
the fire was a pile Of burning brush
or false alarm and that II they were
fooled continually they would get
out of the habit Of coming at all to
fires. There was no way, he said
OF telling how large fire was OF
was going to be, and since the auto
The Greeley tribune., 1911-04-27

truck was first on the scene the man
in charge of the truck should direct
the operations in putting it out.
Favors Whistle
Jesse Nolin, water commissioner,
suggested that the whistle be blown
at all times so that the people know
when to shut off their water. There
is an ordinance providing that none
shall use water while the fire hose
are in operation on account of re-
ducing the pressure.
When the discussion waxed
warmer Mr. Dye said that he had
planned to sleep at the department
and would be within easy call all
day.
After further discussion the
mayor announced that the council
would take up the matter. This re-
duced the proposition to the council
men.
Camp Nominated
Alderman Bullock moved that
George Venables be made chief OF
the department at a salary of $50
per month. This precipitated dis
cussion In which Alderman Howard
contended that Venables would not
make a good chief, although he was
an expert where he was as driver OF
the auto truck. He opposed Ven
ables vigorously as chief to which
Alderman Bullock replied that he
would withdraw Mr.. Venables' name
in favor Of any man that Mr.. How
ard might suggest, provided that
man would devote his entire ener-
gfes to the department and not be
engaged in any other business than
that of the city.
This discussion finally resulted in
City Marshal Camp being nominal
ed for chief Of the fre department.
The vote showed four In favor and
two against. The election OF the
first and second assistant chiefs fol-
lowed.
On vote Of the council the floor
was again allowed tho volunteers
and Mr.. Patterson said that the ac-
tion of the council in refusing the
recognition the volunteers believed
they were entitled to would result
in most OF them asking for their dis
charge papers. He said that the
volunteers could not work under the
conditions imposed by the council
and that as they had been ignored
he could speak for all in asking that
they be discharged.
Charles w. Beer, an insurance
said that If there was no volunteer
department in Greeley to work with
the present paid department the fire
rates in Greeley would be raised ana
possibly doubled within ten days.
Alderman Bullock replied to this
by saying that he believed that lVo
new members of the volunteer
could be enlisted within day. but
that he did not believe that all of the
volunteers would resign and that the
volunteer force would not be De
moralized as a result of the councils
