Tiffin, 0, Oct. 28.—1 n an attempt ( early Sunday morning'to avenge the j miirdet of August Schultz, Tiffin’s pop- 1 ular city marshal, who was shot down j in cold, blood by Leander J. Mart If!, alias Williams, a farmer of Hopewell township, last Wednesday evening, j two more victims were added to the tragic affair. At 1:30 o'clock a mob of 150 infuriated men, many of whom j were under the influence of liquor, at- j tacked the jail in an effort to secure , ( Martin and hang him. A volley from a ] half dozen Winchester* met them and , two of the mob were killed. They are: ] Henry Mutchler, Jr n and Christian j Mat*. I Early Sunday morning crowds began ip gather in the vicinity of the jail, j and Sheriff Van'Nest, fearing further j trouble, called out Company. C; Os the , 16th regiment O. N. G., to maintain or- . der. This company, which is stationed , here, is not numerically strong, and the ] sheriff, thinking Capt. Loomis' men would be unable to cope with a more , general eivic uprising, telegraphed Goy.- , McKinley for more troops. The gover- , nor complied with the request, ordering , three additional companies to the scene. During the day one company n each came from Fremont and Sandusky, and late ih the evening the company from Kenton arrived on the Big Four. The news off she death of Shultz caused the wildest excitement in town and among the neighboring farms where the dead man was well known and liked. Shultz' funeral was held ; Saturday and was largely attended, | the farmers for miles around adding their, numbers to those of the. friends I. cf the marshal living in town. After the services there .was much talk amdng the populace, especially the farmers living near Watson, and it Was noticed as evening drew on that few of the tillers of the §<ji'i had taken their departure for home. Nothing was thought of this, however, as the farmers regard Saturdays at this season of the year as holidays, and often make a day of it “in town.” There was considerable drinking among the town crowd and plenty of talk about lynching Martin, but it was not taken for much. Sheriff Joe Van Nest, knowing Shultz' popularity had, however, taken the precaution.the <la\ after the murder to place four or five guards ui the jail amyarin them with Winchester*. He said that he really expected no trouble, put put the men there “just to l»e on the safe side.” At midnight most of tlje saloons closed an'd the tow'n was apparently quiet. Out aft the old fair grounds just one mile east of the jail and courthouse an exciting midnight scene was being enacted. Belated residents making for their homes in that portion of the city noticed groups of men in various parts of the grounds. The groups grew and their numbers were augmented every riew minutes by the arrival of people from of the city ar.deountry. Shortly after I o'clock there was a concerted move, and the mob, which bad ut last found a leader, started into the city. The marchers; on mob law bent, arrived at the jail at 1:30. With a terrible yall they demanded entrance to Sheriff Van Nest's official residence at the jail Many members of the mob had ob tained sledge hammers which they used with quick effect on the light door whicli leitdS’to the corridor between the sheriff's residence and jail proper This obstacle was demolished with a few sharp blow* and the blood-thirsty mob surged inside the jail. Sheriff \an Nest and his deputies were prejiared for intruders. He met the first ]>art of the mob and demanded their instant withdrawal on penalty of the law and bodily harm if they ventured further. The brave officer of the law faced the infuriated throng revolver in hand, but he was overpowered by the reckless, partly intoxicated mob and bis weapon wrested from his grasp. After gaining access to the hallway cud overpowering the. sheriff, the mob soon broke open the solid steel door which separated them from the jail. Behind this is a heavy semi-circular i>arred door which was attacked with sledge hammer*. After pleading and threats had failed to get the men to desist, the guards fired their revolvers into the ceiling. The sound of the firearms did not make the crowd flinch. As a last resort the guards, following the command of the sheriff, turned their death-dealing weapons direct upon the attacking party and poured ~a volley of lead into its midst. The volley of six Winchester balls brought death to Henry and Christian Matz, They fell lifeless where thev had stood helping in the work of battering down the obstacles to the cell in which Martin lay, crouching in fear of his life being taken away before the judgment of the law. The IxMlies of-the two men were cxirried nwav by thAr comrades, this tragic check only served to add to the fury of the mob. The work of demolition was. brought to a Atop only because certain members of «te mob had gone from the scene of lawlessness to secure dynamite vrith which to destroy the jail and the hated inmates. While the vain search for the terrible explosive was in progress Police Officers Sweeaey and Faulkner went to Murderer Martin's cell, unlocked the door, handcuffed him and took him safel'v from the jail by a rear door which the mob had not thought of guarding. The hunted prisoner and his guards entered a waiting cab at the door and were driven at. a furious pace to Fremont. 24 mile* distant. The mob quickly learned that the object of their vengeance was no longer within reach and slowly dispersed after the hunt for- dvnasnite had proved fruitless. Baffled in their, plot to lynch the slayer of their friend, the marshal, the mob's rage and threats of vengeance were directed against the deputies who had killed two of their number. They tried to find the officers and learn their identity if possible, but their names are known only to the sheriff and a few trusted' persons. With the break of day excited crowds began to gather again in the vieinlty of the jail and Sheriff Van Nest found it micessary to call out the local company of the Ohio national guard. M well as to apply to Go*. >lc|Clutey for additional Domtianlan.

Neither was married. .•> I Ihe authorities at Fremont where ] the murderer, Leander J. Martin, alias ] Miller, was taken for safe keeping, be- ] came alarmed over the situation here nnd fearing that a mob from Tiffin , hn*ht traverse the IS miles intervening ( between the two cities and pay a tisit ( to their jail Sunday night wired that they had sent the murderer under guard to Cleveland. JUMPED ONCE TOO OFTEN. King Callahan Leaps from Poughkeepsie , Bridge and Is Killed. I Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Oct. 28.—Pa|- ( rick King Callahan, more familiarly known as King Callahan, the proses- , sional bridge jumper, leaped from Poughkeepsie bridge into the Hudson river, a distance of 212 feet, at an early hour Sunday morning. Callahan was injured so badly that he died at 11:25 Sunday night. Callahan and a party of New arrived here at 6a. m. Sunday. After , Callahan put oil his jumping suit, which was composed of a pair of shoes, , a pair of black pants, a suit of ccrtton underwear, a cork vest and a rough blue shirt, he started with William IJoyd and two Pougiikeepsians to go J out on the bridge. They passed the 1 watchman by saying they were painters, and when they reached a point about 50 feet from the pier indicated .above Callahan said: “That’s a good’ place to jump,” and preparations were made for the leap. When Callahan had reached the outer side of the guard rt>il the other men in the party tied a bladder filled with air to each of Callahan's shoulders. This ■ was done so that the jumper could keep his equilibrium during his descent to : the water. It was found impossible for I him to jump and gjey tlhktelegraph : wires so he body down to . the iron girder which is 211 feet from high water mark. He stood on the iron girder and clutched the woodwork of the' foot j>ath to steady himself, “Goodbv.” said his friends on the bridge. •‘Good-by, old sports, I'll meet-you down below," yelled Callahan, and he gave a push and lea, >ed into space. His body shdt down tow ard the water ata rapid rate, and.presented a thrilling spectacle as he wavered to one side and then to the other. When about twenty ! feet from the water Callahan's body in- ' dined.and struck the water with terj rific force. He sank and came to the i surface moaning like a dying man. In about fifteen seconds Callahan’s friends in the boat, who were about twenty-five ‘ feet from v. here he .struck, pulled Callaj han into the boat and rowed for the shore. When the shore was reached CalTahah got out of the boat without any assistance and walked to Itean’s hotel, which is near the railroad depot. When he went in he laid on the floor and was perfectly exhausted. His limbs grew stiff and he was carried to a room and put to bed. Drs. Merrill ajid Sheedy were summoned and workeil over the man for more than an hour. It was found that the perinaeum was so badly lacerated that he was rapidly growing weaker from loss of blood. Under the chiu was a bad cut received from the cork vest which had been poorly adjusted. He was also injured internally and suffered greatly from the. shock. The lower part of Clillahan's body was paralyzed. CAUGHT IN A TRAP. A Trippie Murder Prevented and,, Its ProJector Killed. Phoenix, A. T.. Oct. 2St—J. P. Hoxie a few days ago informed Sheriff Orme that he had been offered S2OO by a man named Venna to assist in killing a family of three persons living in Mesa, 20 miles east of here. The projiosed victims were Dr. A. Williams, his. Wife and daughter. Venna saidi he was married to the daughter, but they had been separated. By the death of the three persons mentioned he would become sole heir to valuable projierty possessed by Williams in Kansas. The Williams family was warned of their danger, dummies were placed in their beds and officers secreted themselves in the house. At midnight Saturday Venna and Hoxie forced an entrance to the Williams residence. The officers ordered their surrender, Venna, showing fight, was shot dead. It was then discovered that the dead man was noup other than Hr. John Hose, who was afonetime a prominent Arkansas physician. IBs statements to Hoxie regarding Iris connection by marriage to the Williams family and the existence 4 of the Kansas property were perfectly correct, and ■ he undoubtedly contemplated the coldblooded murder of his wife, father-in-law andtmother-in-law. A accomplice of Hose named Cooley was also captured. IOWA'S POPULATION. Final Figure* of the Censaa Shows It to Be 5,657,1»5.
