 TIFFGNt O., Oct 2s--In an attempt early yesterday morning to avenge the murderer of August Schultz, Tifin's popular city marshal, who was shot down in cold blood by Leander J. Mar tin, alias Williams, farmer of Hope well township. last Wednesday even- ing, two more victims were added to the tragic affair.
 At i:80 o'clock a mob of 150 infu- riated men many of whom were un- der the influence of liquor, attacked the jail in an effort to secure Martin and hang hlm. A vollev from half l dozen Winchesters met them, and 1 Henry Mutchler, Jr.. and Christian i Matz were killed
 At daylight crowds began to gather in the vicinity Of the iaii, and Sheriff 1 Van Nest fearing further trouble, called out Co. c of the $ xteenth regi- ment 0. N. c., t8 maintain order. l This company, which is stationed here, is not numerically strong. and theA sheriff, thinking Capt. Loomis' men would by unable to cope with more general civic uprising. telegraphed Coy. Mckinley for more troops The governor complied with the request, ordering three additional companies to the scene.
 During the day one company each came from Fremont amt Sandusky, and late last evening the company from kenton arrived on the Big Four It is not believed that there will be any further trouble, yet the friends of the dead men threaten vengeance to the guards who fired on the mob and l the dead marshal's friends say they will kill Martin if they can get him
 Martin was spirited away to Fre- 1 mont long before daylight, but this the people refused to believe. The names of the guards who fired the fatal volley are known only to Sheriff Van Nest
 The guards who carried out the orders of their superior officer and up- held the law with such terrible effect disappeared from the jail as soon as word came that Martin was safely on the way to Fremont The mob quickly learned that the object of their vengeance was no longer within reach and slowly dispersed.
 Baffled in their plot to lynch the slayer of their friend the marshal, the mob's race and threats of vengeance were directed aeaint the deputies who had killed two Of their number. They tried to find the officers and learn their identity if possible, but in vain.
 A company of militia arrived last night from Toledo and went into camp in the vicinity of the jail. where the other four companies of the national guard are on duty. making an armed force of trained men sufficient to repel any attack which even an organized and heavily-armed mob might make on the jail eyl. Kounts, Of Toledo. as ranking officer assumed command of the militia. and tBe situation at a late hour gave no indication of an- other outbreak
 Mutchler was 28 years of aye and a laborer. He was drunk during the night and was loud in az tating lynch law. Matz was B years of age and Q butcher. Neither was married.
 It is expected that the Campbell meeting to-day will attract large crowd to the city and that there may be scenes of violence as threats are still being made to blow up the Jail.
