ANOTHER ACCOUNT

CINCINNATI. Oct. IA special Il
The Enquirer from Washington c, H
says that all day great and turiou,
mob surrounded the court house il
which the sheriff had bidder
Dolby under guard of three
local companies and the Four
teenth regiment, commanded
by Col. A. b. Colt OF Columbus
Colonel Colt had given orders to fire
If necessary to repel the mob. For 9
long time the men had been beating
at the door with big battering ram
Tonight the south door was battered
down. Thereupon the mob made O
rush TO get into the court house. The
military surrounding the door fired
Several men fell dead and wounded
They were in the front rank of the
! mob trying to rush into the building
The casualties were: Killed-Smith
Welsh, aged IS, son OF prominent
grocer, shot through the head; Jesse
Judy, aged rs, mechanic, shot through
the head; g w johnson of Kylesst a.
ton, Butler county, shot through the
stomach.
William Sauer, aged 35,
mechanic, abdomen; Theo Ammer-
man, %, artisan, right thigh; Dan
Parrot, 30, a farmer, cousin of the out
ragged woman, shot in the right arm;
Frank Neiderhause, Go, shot in the
leg. 1t is believed that many others
are wounded, and diligent search ia
in progress to find them.
Upon the firing the mob dispersed
in every direction. Immediately all
places of business in the city were
shut up. Mayor Dreamer peremptor-
lily closed all saloons. Every street
was filled with people. No time was
lost in carrying away the dead and
wounded. Business houses and the
engine house we're converted into hos
pitfalls. All the surgeons in the city
were called into service. Mothers,
sisters, wives, sweethearts crowded
around the dead and wounded snd
added pathos to the scene and fire To
the rage of the mob by their lamanta-
tions.
Against the militia the indignation
was bitter. vicious and vehement. II
pervaded all classes. AS time passed
the mob gre in size and fury. All
over the country by telephone, by
courier and by electric wire the news
had spread. All roads leading to the
city were filled with men on horse
back, in wagons and on foot, pushing
with all possible speed to the scene Of
bloodshed, all breathing vengeance at
every step.
Meantime in Washington Cour
House a search was going on for arm
and ammunition and for dynamite
Shouts were heard: "Down with tn g
militia" "Blow up the militia along
with the black fiend." These shouts
but feebly expressed the pent-up
passion of everybody. For every body
was in the street and all in the street
were membe Of the mob, as far at
least as present feelings were COD
cerned. There was certainly organi-
cation Of the forces going on, for that
ominous stiffness which forhodes su-
preme excitement and deadly revOlu-
ton, pervaded the air. Every man
was bent on business, but said moth
ing.
There ia, no doubt, purpose to
blow up the courthouse. Or this the
militia are aware. A full moon lights
up every approach to the courthouse
If more achievements do not reach
here before the moon goes down there
is danger of further and greater blood
shed between an organized mob and
the militia, and should the mob sue
coed there is danger that many of the
militia will share the same fate OF the
human brute Dolby.
