glory is taken in service to society
to others; all men are considered as
brothers; efforts are directed toward
the establishing of heaven on earth
more than toward preparation for a
heaven to come.
Two solos by Mrs. H. Alden Enyeart

PARDON FOR
DETZ LIKELY
Governor Blaine Listens to
Pleas of Family, and
May Free Man. (.

Madison. Wis. May 5.--The family
OF John Dietz appeared before Gov
ernor Blaine late yesterday to make a
final plea for the pardon of their
father. serving a 20-year sentence for
murder. They recounted again the
tale of their struggles in the northern
Wisconsin woods at Cameron dam. Of
Lumber and Boom company which
brought on increasing differences and
finally a pitched battle between the
family and sheriff's posse.
Governor Blaine listened to the
pleadings of Mrs. Dietz and her four
children and indicated that his de-
cision would free the defender Of
Cameron dam" from serving the full
sentence to which he was convicted
a deputy sheriff, during the night Of
October 8, 1911. He told the family
it would be several days before the
result Of his deliberations would be
announced but left little ground for
any belief that he would refuse their
request for a pardon. 60. ,
Dietz is now 81 years old.
Reason for Doubt. 49,
There might be reasonable doubt
concerning whether or not Dietz had
shot Deputy Harp, the governor was
tOl0.s IL was SAID tnaC r1CnOCnete0
bullet had, evidently killed the deputy
and that from the course of the shot
there was doubt whether Dtetz could
have fired it.
Three Of the children took UP the
threads ef the story and together with
their mother went over many Of the
incidents which occurred during the
six years that trouble was developing
in the northern woods. They said that
their father was not responsible for
the breaking Of Cameron dam, which
was cut following the breaking of two
dams up the river.
Discussion centered on the fight
which ended in the killing of Harp
and on the trial for the killing. Mira,
daughter, told how she and Clar-
ence, son, had set out in q wagon
and were ambushed, by two deputies
hiding in the woods. She was shot by
one Of the men.
During the final battle hundreds of
shots were said to have been fired into
the house and barn where the girls
! and Mrs. Dietz were staying. Senator
| Anderson testified that the reason
Dietz made his stand was because of
/ newspaper publicity which set him UP
as hero and appealed to his sense of
honor to make @ fight.
Other Charges Pending.
Should pardon be granted Dietz, the
governor explained that it might be
necessary for him to stand trial for
other charges that are pending against
him in Sawyer county.
