HIS VIGOROUS ACTION At TIFFIN. OHIO. LAST
OCTOBER. AND ITS GOOD EFFECT.
1t was vigorous and completely successful
effort to suppress a lynchng party that Governor
Mckinley made in October last. mob attacked
the TAIL at THIN, in which the man whom they mad
determined to lynch was confined. As the prison
guards were not strong enough to defend the JAN.
the Sheriff 50 informed the Governor. who imma-
dlately teegrlphed orders to Toledo and SanduSky
that militia companies be at dispatched TO the
support Of the Sheriff When the companies reached
Tinln. the lynching party had broken into riot
around the jail. toward which the militia made all
pos ble haste used their against It's assail-
ants quickly dispersed the rioters. and remained
on guard until peace had been fully restored. and
until the prisoner whom the mob had sought to
lynch was out OF danger.
About that time there had been several cases Of
lynching IN other parts Of the country, and New
Yorker who while unknown to Governor Mckinley,
highly admired his conduct in the Tiiiin case. sent
him letter expressing appreciation Of the deter
mined stand he had taken against the abominahe
practice Of lynching. Governor Mckinley Wac
highly pleased with this letter. and made a reply
to it, from which the following lines copied:
Few things have given me more gra,ihcaton
during my public career than your lndorsfment az
what lid in he matter Of the Tiilin riot. Yet.
IS the chief Executive of the State of Ohio could
retain my seif-resp-ct. beg you 70 accept my
heartfelt thanks for your words.
There has not been case 81 Ynchlng IN the
State OF Ohio. and very few ia other parts OF
the country since Governor Mckinley enforced tho

ed Superintendent Brant to turn the prison
er over to City Marshal C. w. Morrison of
Westport, who has evidence of burglary
and grand larceny against him.
on the night of October IS, last. some
one entered the cellar of W. W. Nelson
of Westport, by breaking a window and
stole bicycle. The wheel was traced to
PaOla, Kas. where Marshal Morrison
found it in possession of a young fellow
named Jim Shelby. 1t had been taken
apart and an attempt made to disguise it
by painting it red. The handle bars, the
marshal was informed, were in a plumbing
shop being repaired.
Mr.. Morrison went there and discovered
among the traps Of the plumber the saddle
OF a wheel of foreign make. He knew of
only one such wheel, and that belonged to
G. W. Lee. of WestpOrt, and had been
stolen during the summer. Mr.. Morrison
found out where the rest Of the machine
was and identified it as the property OF Mr..
Lee. There is evidence to convict Shorts
of the theft of both machines.
Shorts was taken to the county jail last
night and locked up. to await hearing on
