Shots For the Lynohers.

TIFFfN, o.. Oct. 27.-Henry Mutchler
Jr., and Christian Matz were shot and
killed shortly after | o'clock this morn
ing by sheriffrs officers. They were
among i mob that tried TO force an en-
trance to the Jail and lynch Leander J.
Martin, alias Williams, who was in
confinement on the charge of killing City
Marshal August Schultz, on "Wednesday
night. Martin had got into contro-
versy with the l5-year-old son of a
neighboring farmer and had nearly
strangled him. Schultz and Officer
Sweeney went To Martins farm to arrest
him, but he barricaded himself in his
house, and shot from the window at the
I officers, killing Schultz and wounding
Sweeney.
Schnltz's funeral yesterday drew a
great crowd and there was much talk of
| lynching Martin. Sheriff Van Ness heard
of this and took the precaution of station
ing half dozen well armed guards inside
the Jail. At midnight the mob, which
was mostly composed Of farmers from
the vicinity, met at the fair grounds and
resolved to lynch Martin. They march
ed into the town and made rush upOn
the Jail. Some carried sledge hammers.
with which they smashed the door separa-
ting the sheriff residence from the Jail.
Sheriff Van Ness met the leaders of
the mob and warned them to Withdraw
lie faced the throng with his revolver in
his hand, bat they quickly wrested his
weapon from his grasp. Then they broke
open the solid steel door which leads into
the Jail. The guards first fired a volley
into the ceiling from their rifles, and as
the mob still pressed on they shot into
the crowd, Instantly killing Mutchler
and MatZ. Some of the farmers then
went out to look for dynamite with
which to destroy the Jail and It's inmates,
and while they were gone Officers
Sweeney and Faulkner took Martin ont
by a rear door, placed him in a ca and
drove him 2i miles to Fremont, where he
was placed in Jail.
The guards disappeared from the Jail
a. soon as word came that Martin was
safely on the way to Fremont. The mob
quickly learned thlt the object of their
vengeance was no longer within reach
and slowly dispersed after the hunt for
dynamite had proved fruitless.

Nearly 65 Miles an Hour.

BUFFALO, ". v, Oct. pa new
worlds record for railroad speed over a
great distance was made to-day by a
special train on the Lake Shore * Mich
igan Southern Railroad, which ran from
Chicago to Buffalo, Dol miles, in A. l
minutes and seconds, an average speed
of 63.G0 miles an hour. This time in
cludes stops. Exclusive of stops, the run
was made in 40 minutes 10 seconds, an
average speed of 6i.9s miles an honr.
The New York Centra's record of Sep
tember IL was an average speed of 63.6l
miles an hour, including stops and "a II
miles an hour exclusive of delay. The
east coast record on the Great Northern

or COS miles an hour. The west coast
record on the London * Northwestern
