THE BANNER, FRIOAY MORNING, MARCH 10, 1911. T Famous Deitz Case in|Wis> cousin will be Tried Next Week. Much Inter est in Hearing. Hayward, Wia., March 4.—Every thing seems to be in readiness for tilt hearing of the case against John Delta and four members of his famil on charges of murder and assault, growing out of their valiant defense of their Cameron Dam home and prop C^ty. The cases are set for trial be fore the term of the circuit court be ginning next Monday and. in anticipa tion of the sensational trials, him dreds of persons from thea*oining counties have come to Hayward, eager to listen to the interesting testimon and to await the outcome of the cases which have attracted more than or dinary attention throughout the coun try. The first case to be called Is against John Deitz, Hattie Deitz. his wife, and l^slie Deitz, their son, on the charge of having murdered Oscar Harp, deputy sheriff, who took part in tho attack upon the Deitz stronghold at Cameron Dam. The second case is against John Deitz alone and Is for assault or. William OlbJin, former sheriff, who with Patrick McQuinn tried to capture Deitz in 1904. Valen tine Welsenbach, who helped Deitz at that time, is now in the state pen itentiary at Waupun on a twelve-year sentence for the shooting. The third case is against Almyra Deitz, eldest daughter of John Deitz, who is charg ed with assault with intent to kill John Rogich, a deputy sheriff who took part in the attack of 1904 but is belfeved that this case will be dropped by the prosecution, as there seems to be no evidence to show that the girl ever handled a rifle. Deitz and his sturdy family have been more or less in the public lime light for a number of years and have furnished practically all the sensa tlons of the county ever since 1904 Prior to that year Deitz and his fami ly occupied a cabin near Price dam where Deitz acted as watchman of the dam for the Chippewa Lumber Company. In February of 1904 the Deitz family moved to the Cameron farm, which Mrs. Deitz had purchaa ed four years before from the widow of Hugh Cameron. Before leaving Price dam Deitz made a demand for his pay and the failure of the repre sentative of the company to settle led to an altercation In which Deitz made use of his fists. This led to the Is suance of the first warrant for his arrest. Deitz'a claim was settled sev eral year* later by the payment to him of $1,717. In April of 1904 Delta posted a no tice on the wing of Cameron dam forbidding trespass. The Chippewa Lumber ft Boom Company had logs In Thornapple river, which they de sired to sluice through Cameron dam Deitz would not permit that, unless the company paid him $10,000. Tho lumber company obtained a tempor- ary injunction against Doltz, but he dlaergarded it and, armed with his rifle, prevented the lumbermen sluice the logs through the dam. That he was within his rights was proved afterward, when the courts decided that Mrs. Delta owned the flowagc lands along the Thornapple river and had the control of Cameron dam and its sluice. During the summer of 1904 several attempts were made to serve war rants In connection with the dam con troversy upon Delta, but he kept the deputies at a respectful distance. When former Sheriff Olblln and three armed deputies attempted on May 9, 1904, to take Deitz, several shots were fired and Olblln retired. Several oth er attempts were made In the same year and during 1905 and the early part of 1906, but all were unsuccess ful. On July 25, 1906, the sheriff with a dozen deputies, all armed, sur. rounded the Deitz cabin and a pitched battle was the result, In which De- puty Sheriff Rogich was seriously wounded and Clarence Deitz, one of Deltz’s sons, received a scalp wound. The warfare between Delta and the authorities continued at Intervals un til the matter was brought to a climax by a new act of violence. During a visit to Winter Delta became Involv ed In a quarrel with Bert Horel and wounded him by a pistol shot. About two months later Sheriff Madden and bis men waylaid three of Deltz’s chil dren, while they were driving and ■hot two of them. Almyra and Clar ence, wounding them seriously, al though they were not armed and had not resisted. Deitz and the rest of his family remained entrenched In their cabin, besieged by the sheriff's posse. During the siege deputy Harp was shot and killed. The siege end ed with the capture of Deitz and his family on October 8, 1910, after Deitz bad become Incapacitate.! by a shot through bis hand.

SEA ISLAND COTTON GROWERS TO MEET Will Urge Cutting the Acreage of Long Staple and Work ing for High Prices. Atlanta. March 4—iA big meeting of the Sea Island Cotton growers along the Georgia eoast and In Flori da, has been called by President Chaa. S. Barrett of the Farmers’ Un ion to be held at Wayoross on March 9th. The object of the conference or, at least, one of the objects. Is to urge strenuously the curtailment of the Sea Island acreage this season, hnd an effort will be made at that time to see II some basis of agreement can not be reached by which thia can be brought about, making It equally operative as to all Interested. President Barrett says there Is an existing necessity for taking some steps looking to Improving the price for this staple, and It Is his belief that It can be accomplished through such an agreement, provided there Is sufficient attendance and unanimity on the part o‘ the growers at the Wayoross mee Ing. He says he has received assurances that there wll be a full attendance of the growers from Georgia, South Carolina and Florida. GE0R6IA MEDICAL SOCIETY FORMING For Purpose of Giving 2,000 Georgia Doctors an Organ ization to Join. Atlanta, March 4—Plans are active ly under way for the organization ol a new medical association in the state to be known as the Georgia Med leal Society. A dozen or more promt neat physician* are interesting them selves in the movement, and every re putable physician in the state, It Is said, will be invited to become a member of It. One of the physicians who is tak ing an active interest in the move ment says that only about 1,000 physi cians are members ol the present Medical Association of Georgia, whereas there are at least 2,000 well known and reputable physicians who belong to no organization. "It looks like a ease of the tall wagging the dog,” he said. "There Is no reason why the vast majority of physicians in the state should be dominated 'by this organization to which they do not belong—and to a certain extent they are so dominated. The majority at least should have some say with regard to the medical affairs of the state.” The doctors of Georgia have been split ever since the American Medi cal Assocl.vlon was organized In the slate several years ago—It Is the med ical “trust” as those on the outside call It. The present movement. It la stated, Is for the purpose of bringing togther the 2,000 or so of physicians who do not belong to the present organiza tion. Those back of It say they do not believe the doctors of Georgia should submit to dictation as to ethics and other matters from physicians living In the north and east, and that, they declare. Is the result of the present situation. Our people should get a lively hus tle on themselves and secure for Ath ens some of the big conventions that are to be held In Georgia next year Athens Is naturally a great conven tion city and now Is the time to get into the fight for sereral .of the big conventions of 1912.
