he! a week ago. and left her In pitIabiy
catical condition. the feeling against the
prisoner kept growing more and more
intense. The local militia, hfty-nve
men. were ordered 10 the jail 10 protect
,hc prisoner. Then came hurried efforts
Of the officers OF the law to get Mitchell
safely into the peni;entlary. All the
VALE excitement among the people grew
mnre and more intense. The sheriff was
!olei 10 his plan to sc: Mitchell out OF
Jan and on the Columbus train.
S!ght lnfiamed the excitement among
ci!Eens The streets were throngcd all
night Yeils were heard all around the
jan Finally at $50 n. M. came the at
tack on the jail, when the militia fired
on the attacking party, and as Is usual
10 such cnsef, struck more innocen:
spectators than active lawbreakera
But such q sudden catastrophe well
nleh pnIduced an eGpolE!ou OF wrath.

etndr Tor more troops, sending ihc mes
Tare 70 Wooster. Ohio. and 40 quickly
a, order was sen. 60 the Springfield
guard to report a. once TO Sherin Nc

Guard that the order was ooeyed so
promptly tina: al I:l0 y. M. the Spring

para's condition was encountered. The
Revision nf feeling against the troops
was % great that on all sides the new
addition a. the force was greeted with
jeers and hoo.Ings. and the soldiers soon
began TO be pelted with mud. Fearing

the troops began 20 show signs " resist
ance 10 the !unutlng mob Mayor Gan
zen ordered the troops 10 return 20 the
depot. Thcn q was that the mob made
n fresh assault on the fail. The feeling
today IS Intense against the sheriff for
allowing rhc national guard 10 IRE on
the people and there r. a very general
approval Of the work OF the mob.
