And It Rained

What was perhaps one of the
worst rain storms that we have
had in the city for the past two
years visited this section Mon.
day evening and for a time it
fairly poured. filing bitches to
overlooking. The rain began
shortly after six o'clock and it
continued to rain for the greater
part of the night. The streets
were covered with water for a
time and Street Com missioner
Mike Larson was up during the
night with a crew of men keep
the bitches and culverts open SO
that the water would do less dam
age TO the streets. Down near
fifth avenue west the pipe under
the street became plugged and
the water began rizing until it
was almost level with the street.
Pike poles were used to fish odt
the refuse and the water
soon lowered again. Consider
able damage was done to streets
and crossings which it will take
some time torepair. Some
of the wooden sidewalks were
also damaged by the rising
water.

P. J. Bogie, superintendent OF
the Iron River Lumber Company's
mill had his right shoulder dislocat-
ed while working at the pant Mon
day forenoon, and only by the rarest
presence of mind did he escape with
his life. Something went wrong
with one OF the conveyors and he
went under the mill to assist in the
work of fixing it. He passed close
to friction gear when some part OF
his coat must have caught in the
gear. AS soon as he felt the jerk
he mistrusted what was up and with
all the strength at his command he
jerked in the opposite direction.
The Jolt threw his shoulder out of
Joint, but the sleeve of his coat tore
out and thus he was released

Dietz Gets Life

John Dietz the "Defender of
Cameron Dam" has been SEN
fenced to spend the rest of his
natural life in the state prison
at Waupon. having been found
guilty of murder in the first de-
gree in the trial which ended at
Hay ward last Saturday when
the jury returned a verdict
finding Dietz guilty of shooting
Deputy Oscar Harpe during the
battle at Cameron Dam last Oc-
tober. Mrs. Dietz and Leslie
Dietz who were charged with the
same crime, were acquitted of
the charge. Dietz threatens to
appeal the case to the Supreme
court and believes that the court
will reverse the decision.
This ends, for a tim g at least,
one of the most notorious cases
that has ever occu pied the at
tention of the courts of the state.
For six long years Dietz defied
the laws and there were none
that were willing to cause his
arrest many believing that he
had been wronged. But
when Dietz shot Horrell
during a quarrel at Winter and
a warrant was issued for his
arrest sentiment began to turn
and those who had been with the
'.defender" in his former
trou bles believed that he should
be brought to justice. Sheriff
Madden of Sawyer county was
given the task of arresting Dietz
and after surrounding the home
stead with nearly a hundred
deputies and bonn harding the
place, Dietz finally surrendered.
In the trial which occupied the
greater part of last week Dietz
alone fought his case without
the aid of an attorney. He made
a good fight but the jury return
ed verdict of guilty, and he
was sentenced to life imprison-
ment. Dietz says that he will
appeal the case to tile higher
courts and that he will eventual
ly win cut. He claims that the
''lnm ber trust" has been after
him and that his going to prison
will satisfy them 1t has always
been his belief that he was a
victim of the lumber trust" and
that the Sawyer county authori-
ties were carrying out their
wishes.

DROPPED THE GAME
Washbum City Team Loses
Sunday Game.
Poor Base Running and Cost
ly Errors Cause Defeat.
Score l to 0.

Tn close game of base ball
played on the home grounds
last Sunday afternoon the Wash
burn city team went down to de-
feat before the Ashland city
team, the score being to O. 1t
was a good game all the way
through but poor base running
and a few costly errors lost the
game for the locals. The Ash
land team succeeded in running
in one single score in the first
inning and after that every mem
Der of the team was at the mer-
cy of Pitcher Gordon, who was
given good support by the bal
ance of the team. The Ashland
team got three hits during the
nine innings.
The locals were more success
full as to hitting, but the hits
were either gobbled up by the
felders or the men were put
out on bases. The attempt to
steal second on the Ashland
catcher proved disasterous an d
time and again men were caugh t
before they could make the
base. During the seventh inn :
ing it began to look as if the To-
Gals would be successful in MAX
ing a run. Three men were on
bases with but one man out.
Veno on third attempted to
make home ON a scratch hit but
was cornered and in the play
Johnson run thru and Carver
second. johnson seeing that
Veno had not as yet been tagged
run back to second but the base
was covered by Carver and both
men were put out on the base.
This was the only opportunity
that they had to make a run.

Doing q Good Job

Street Commissioner Mike
Larson has had a crew of men
at work during the past week
cleaning up the rubbish on the
streets of the city and now that
the work is about completed the
streets show up in fine shape,
being nice and clean. 1t should
be the aim of everyone to keep
the streets of the city as clean
as possible, and the practice of
throwing waste paper and other
refuse upon the streets should
be stopped. There is nothing
that creates such an impression
as a good, clean city.

Madison last week to argue the
Lillystrom case in the supreme
court. Lillystrom shot and killed a
companion while out hunting near
Port Wing year ago last fall, and
was subsequently tried for murder
and convicted of murder in the
second degree. On the trial of the
case, be admitted the killing but
claimed that he only acted in sell
defense, and now he seeks new
trial. One thing which operated
against Llllystrom as much as any
thing was the fact that instead ol
making a clean breast of the matter
he first denied all knowledge ol
what becomesof his partner. though
he accompanied large party who
searched the woods for davs for the
body. This was circumstances
which weighed heavily against him,
but explained his action by saying
that he was afraid the friends
Of the dead man would not believe
