MORE HERDS CONDEMNED
Visiting Neighboring Farms While
Disease Is Prevalent.

Madison.-Two new herds of cattle
have been found infected at Oregon
by State Veterinarian 0. Fl. Eliason
and the cattle will be killed at once.
The infected cattle were found on the
farm of Jessie Hall and Mr.. Goggins.
DR.. Eliason is of the opinion that the
infection was brought to the Hall
farm by hunters and may have been
carried to the Goggi4s farm as the
result of visits. An outbreak of the
foot and mouth disease has also been
discovered on the Clark Harris farm
near Delavan.
In the territory where the disease is
prevalent people should not visit each
others FARMS" said DR.. o. H. Ella
son. "Do not visit each others cattle
and stay at home as much as possible
so that this plague may be wiped out"
To date upwards of $4,000 worth
of cattle has been condemned and
slaughtered in the state as the result
of the foot and mouth disease.

STRANGER SAYS he IS DlETz
Tells Eastern Papers Secured Pardon
from President For Famous
Cameron Dam Defender.

MISUNDERSTANDING are again being
received regarding a man who claims To
De Leslie Dietz, son of the Cameron
uam defender, and says he walked
from Winter, Wis, to Washington. d.
" TO see the president and obtain a
pardon for his father. A few DAYS ago
the supposed Leslie Dietz arrived at
Baltimore, Nd, and declared he had
secured an interview with President
wilson, that the latter had promised
10 pardon the elder Dietz. and had al
ready signed the necessary papers.
me supposed Dietz visited offices Of
baltlmore newspapers and claimed to
nave presented to the president a pe-
tltlon with 100000 signatures. He
said he had started on his long walk
ing trip almost two years ago, visit
Ing many states. According to word
received from Chippewa Falls Leslie
D1etz was in that city on Dec. 6 to
attend the opening of the Metropol-
itan theater, in which he is interested.
He left there for Mayville, Wis.
The members of the Dietz family
have been showing moving pictures of
the adventures of their father and
themselves during the Cameron dam
affair, and have been making large
profits out of their enterprise. In adj
dition, they have been showing at
moving picture houses in all parts of
Wisconsin and have sold their rights
in other states where they could not
appear personally. They reserved for
themselves, however, the rights for
Minnesota, Michigan and Illinois.
About six weeks ago a man claim
ing to be Leslie Dietz walked into the
office of the New York Globe and con
vinced the editors he was genuine. He
said he was completing walk of 50,-
900 miles and had obtained 100000
signatures to a petition requesting
that his father be pardoned. He stat
ed at that time he was leaving New
York for Washington. He did not seek
money.
At the time of the New York Incl
dent members of the Dietz family
issued a statement scoring the man
as an imposter and denying that Les
lie Dietz had been in any of the cities
mentioned.
The family is unable to explain the
actions of the stranger. Thus far all
efforts to take him into custody have
been unsuccessful.
