MiIitin on the Scene.

BOWLING GREEN, O., March 96-The
Bloomdale troops arrived at Hoyt's Corners
late last night and surrounded the ZeItner
house. AT 100 o'clock they opened fire on
the house and there has been a continual
fire on both sides. 1t is not yet known
whether any one has been killed.
{. m.-When the militia arrived they
found that the mob of citizens had pickets
posted and was opposing all approach to
the house. On challenge by the captain of
the company a reply in the nature of vol
ley from revoIvers was sent. The troops
were withdrawn a short distance so that
temporary truce was declared. The mob is
determined TO resist any attempt to capture
the Zeltners. The fighting tonight is be-
tween the mob that wants to lynch the
brothers and the militia The Zeltners are
still holding their fort against the mob,

BOWLING GREEN, o.. March 25.-E. III.
Westenhavef, Of North Baltimore, one OF
the best known attorneys in this county,
was shot at HOyt's Corners shortly after
noon to-day. He was trying case against
Paul and John Zeltner for attorney fees,
and when court adjourned at noon the
brothers demanded certain papers, which he
refused 10 surrender. John Zeltner fired
at the attorney, who ran out of doors. the
ball striking Westenhaver in the right side.
-Four more shots were fired at him. but they
did not take effect. AT the corner of the
building Paul Zeltner met him and fired two
shots at the attorney. one striking the leg
and the other going into his forehead. Death
resulted in four minutes.
After the murder the Zeltners fed to their
home, pursued by a crowd Of several hum
dred men. The Zeltners stood boldly in
their yard all the early part of the forenoon
and defied arrest. There was a frequent
exchange of shots between the fugitives
and the crowd at long range, and a man
named Wittenmyer, who crossed an open
space, was shot through the heart and in
stantly killed. Sheriff Kingsbury and posse
of deputies were soon on the scene, but the
fusilade of shots kept up by the Zeltners
prevented any effort being made to capture
them Deputy Sheriff Roach, who took
refuge behind tree in the woods. was
made a special target. and three bullets
grazsd the tree behind which he stood.
Later in the day the Zeltners retired within
the house and barricaded it. \ hundred
shots were fired into the house. but without
effect. The sheriff then decided to call for
the Bloomdale Rifles and in the meantime a
guard was stationed around the house.
Mrs. Zeltner and her three children took
refuge i'm the cellar. This evening a neigh
Dor OF the Zeltners went into the house I'M
der a flag of truce and tried to induce them
TO surrender but they declined TO do so be-
fore morning. fearing the mob. l11ery eff
fort is being made to prevent a lynching.
This will be difficult in view of the temper
of the people, who are incensed not only by
the killing of Westenhaver. but by the death
OF Wittenmyer, who was a respected citi-
zen. The sheriff will appeal TO the Gov
ernor for sufficient troops to protect the
Zeltners when they are in custody. The
Zeltners seem to have prepared for the
trouble, as they had sold their farm and
bought large quantity of ammunition only

Cambridge, winning the toss, took the Surrey

The Crabtree wharf was passed at los. At

Cambridge continued her position, rowing

rowing anyhow. Cambridge finished first
