The many friends Of the J. B. Grin

the death OF Rev. D. D. Mears, D. D.,
the husband Of Mary Grinnell Mears.
He died after an illness Of but brief
duration, at the home of his brother in
Williamstown, Mass, and the funeral
was held in Essex, Mass, the summer
home of the Mears family. 1t will be
recalled how recently the operwhelm-
ing afflictfon came to Dr. and Mrs.
Mears in the loss very suddenly of
their daughter.
The Poweshiek county board of sur
pervisors has decided that it will be
economy to building the larger part of
the cement culverts and bridges for
the county under competent supervis-
ion than to have the same work done
by letting it out by contract. They
have therefore, employed Mr.. Conner.
of Centerville, to oversee The work and
have let the contract for materials as
follows: steel, Des Moines Bridge and
Steel Works; cement, Des Moines
Building Material Company; gravel.
w. G. Block Company Of Muscatine;
Barr Lumber Company for Malcolm
and Ewart: Bowen Lumber Company
for Searsboro. 1t is probable that the
largest of the bridges may still be
built by contract.
Cedric A. Barnes has resigned his

The commission also has under ad-

will decide it has no authority in any

will then be up to the courts to decide
what will be the next step.

GREAT BATTLEOF
CAMERON dam
People Of This Vicinity Given An op.
portunity to See Moving Pictures ;.
Of John +. Oeitz Family.
MANY REMEMBER THE TRAGEDY
Deitz Family Elected From Home by
Large Lumber interests in the
State of Wisconsin.

On Friday evening, July 9th, the
people Of Denison and vicinity will
have an opportunity to witness the
great battles of the Cameron dam por.
trayed in motion pictures. This trag.
edy occurred in the timber regions OF
northern Wisconsin a few years ago
in which the family OF John r. Deitz
fought for possession of the Cameron
dam against the owners OF a powerful
lumber company. Mr.. Deitz, son OF
John F. Deitz, called at the Review
office on Tuesday and gave us the
story of the tragedy, which is as fol
lows: 4
John F. Deitz was in the employ
of the Chippew.> Lumber company
from 1901 to 1904. He was to receive
as pay for his labor 50 acres of cut
over land at $3.50 per acre. In the
meantime railroad had been built
through that section of the country
and the land value had risen to $50
per acre.
The company then repudiatcd theil
agreement with Mr.flDeitz and offered
him a money consideration far below
its actual worth. This Mr.. Deitz re
| fused.
The Thornapple river runs through
the SO acre tract and the Cameron dam
was built on this land. MIR. Deitz then
refused to allow the company to close
the dam so as to get a head OF water
in which to float their logs Then be
gan the battle between the deputies
the settler and the company. A sog
and daughter were waylaid and shot
There was a pitched battle between
the deputies and the man who was
defending his home and family. More
than thousand bullets were fired in
to this little cabin. The dams above
the Cameron were blown up and when
the avalanche of water and logs came
down upon the Cameron it swept ev
erything before it., To save the lives
of his family Mr. Deitz finally gave
himself up. During the fight deputy
was shot. Although it could not be
proven that bullet from Mr.. Deitz's
gun did the deed. yet he was convict
ed on circumstantial evidence and
sentenced to life imprisonment. Ev
cry effort is being put forth to gel
Governor Phillips to pardon MIR. Deitz
He has been presented with petition
containing $4,000 names Of voters Of
the state of Wisconsin.
