Another Offer.

CHICAGO. Oct. 26.-steve Brodie is
disguised at the fistic fiasco, and has
determined to see whether Corbett and
Fitzsimomns really want to fight He
accordingly offers a purse of $1,000. to
be contested for in private with twenty
men on side. He has posted a forfeit
of $500 with the Inter-Ocean. and says
that he stands ready to pull off the
fight at any time.
No one doubts for a moment that
Brodie. even without a forfeit, will
make his offer good. He admits he is
not unaware of the advertising that
such an action will bring him, but he
is willing TO pay 5000 to see who is
champion.
I can afford to spend a small part of
1t out of curiosity. am tired of hear
ing these fellows talk, and want them
to fight. Here is $4,000 for one of them
to pick UP. I won't charge a cent to the
forty men who will be admitted and
won't make a cent out of the fight. If
they don't want to fight, they are news
paper fighters, not prize fighters"
When asked where he expected to pull
off the mill. Brodie declined to name
you may say he said, that it win
take place in the state of New York. I
have pulled off fights there before and
I can do it again. l won't advertise it.
I will simply notify the men where to
come, and the first the public knows of.
It. it will read the account of the battle.
That is the way to fight"

CLEVELAND, o., Oct. pa special
to the Leader just received from Tiffin,
o., says: The sentiment against Mar
tin, the man who so heartIessly killed
Marshal Schulz last Wednesday even
ing while resisting arrest, broke out
with increased fury tonight, and culmi-
mated about 1.50 o'clock this (Sunday)
morning in an onslaught on the Jail by
a crowd numbering 800 The attacking
party was composed principally Of men
from HopeWell township. the home of
the murdered marshal. The latters
brother headed the mob A number of
'Ilffln men were in the crowd and took
aggressive part. The result is that
two of the attacking party were in
stantly killed. The mob formed on the
outskirts of the town and marched to
the jail in q body. They went to work
without ceremony and commenced to
batter down the doors at the side
entrance, making no demand of the
Sheriff for the keys or anything Satur-
day being the day of the marshars
funeral, an attack was not expected by
the Sheriff, and when night came a
strong guard was placed on the inside
Of the Jail There was no resistance to
the mob when it battered down the
door but when it started to break down
the door leading to the corridor a
Sharp Fusi1nde Was Commenced
by the guards. At first they fired into
the air, but as the attack became
ffercer, the guards shot to take effect.
The killing put a temporary stop to
the onslaught, but a temporary stop to
like so many wild animals They left
the building swearing vengeance on
the sheriff, and crying the intention
to blow the Jail up with dynamite.
Henry MutSchler is the name of one
of the dead men. He is laborer about
rs years old. He was drunk during the
evening and was one of the agitators.
The name of the other is Christ Mott
and lives in this city. He is a butcher.
At 2:30 a. m, the mob is standing on
the square, bloodthirsty but not daring
to make another attack Officer Kieffer !
in trying to repel the mob was
struck on the head with a stone and
taken home unconscious 1t was at
first thought he was dead, but the
physician succeeded in restoring him.
The news of the attack spread like |
wildfire and hundreds of citizens hur-
ried to the scene. Every attempt is |
being made by the cooler heads to
pacify the mob, but all is apparently in
vain.
telegram was forwarded to Cover
nor Mckinley at 2:30 a. m, asking him |
to order the militia out About thirty |
shots were fired. 1t is not known |
whether the attacking party fired or !
not
At 2:45 o'clock, the situation remains
the same. The mob is very poorly |
organized, many having loaded up with |
whisky to get UP their nerve.
