NATIONAL SCANDAL.
Mob Rule In Mansfield Is Thus
Characterized by a Chicago
Paper.

Chicago Chronicles: The continuance
of mob rule in the town of Mansfield,
o., has now assumed the proportions Of
a national scandal.
If the authorities of the state are
either unable or unwilling to protect
citizens it is time to call upon the feder-
al government under the constitutional
provision which guarantees to the
states a republican form of government
and which provides that the citizens
may not be deprived of life, liberty or
property without due process Of law.
There is neither government nor law
in Mansfield, o.
Residents of other states have been
mobbed and expelled from the town re-
peatedly within the last few weeks Last
Sunday several taxpayers and residents
of the city itself were taken from their
homes by mob and driven out of town,
being menaced with tar and feathers
and even death If they return. The
authorities-if 1t be not ridiculous to
speak of Authorities" in such a lawless
place-interpose no objection to these
proceedings. On the contrary, they
connive at them. Tho town is COM
pletely under mob domination.
The personality of the men who have
been mobbed has nothing to do with
the case. 1t does not matter whether
they are believers in Dowieism or not.
Dowieism is not contrary to the law,
and even II it were illegal the law not
the mob, would be competent to punish
1t.
Any man who does not violate the
laws of Ohio or the ordinances of Mans
field, is entitled to remain in that place
as long as he pleases. and IL the dis
ciples of Dowie can be driven out there
Is no reason why the Methodists, the
Presbyterians, the Roman Catholics,
the Baptists, or the Episcopalians may
not, in their turn, be expelled by mobs
to whom their doctrines are displeas-
ing.
There is no limit to mob rule once 1t
Is established. The very people who
are now mobbing the Dowieites may
themselves be mobbed should more
numerous mob take 1t into it's head
to undertake the job. Mob rule is a mat
ter Of brute force pure and simple, and
the idea that 1t Is reformative agent
in any particular is dangerous hum
bug.
Law and order should be restored in
the hands of every traveller, but should
require the services of the entire state
militia. If the governor be too cowardly
or too subservient to do his duty
and he is probably both-the president
should intervene to save his native
state from the shame and peril Of mob
rule.
The present situation cannot endure.

HOLMAN MILL BURNED.
Two Colored Firemen Slightly Hurt by Piece
of Falling Tin.

At II o'clock last night the Holman
mill, on the Fayetteville road, south of
the city, was burned.
$500 insurance.
The property belonged to Mr.. w. G.
Holman and the estate of his brother,
S. w. Holman.
1t consisted of two buildings on Rocky
Branch-one a carding mill and grist mill,
and the other a cotton gin. The first was
partially built of brick and the second
was entirely brick as to the walls
The fire originated in the mill, just how
is not known. 1t began near the engine
and spread rapidly over the building.
From that it was communicated to the
GIN which stood only five or SIX feet
away.
There had been no fire in the engine
for several days and Mr.. Holman is at a
loss to know how the flames originated.
All the contents of the mill were burn
ed, but seven bales of cotton were saved
from the gin. Otherwise the loss is total.
Though an alarm was turned in as soon
as the fire was discovered, and the fire
men responded promptly, they were un-
able to do anything for the reason that
the burning buildings were outside the
city limits and several hundred yards
from a fire hydrant.
The iremen, however, went to the
scene and did all they could in saving the
property in and around the burning build
ings. The colored firemen were especially
daring and efficient in this work.
Among these Chas. Cardwell VIM.
Whitaker and Charlie Mitchell. are de-
serving of special mention. BY Card
wells work four bales of cotton were
taken from the gin when others had given
them up. VIM. Whitaker and Chas.
Mitchell were caught under a piece of fall
ing tin, while working to save some cot
ton near the mill. Fortunately their in
juries were not serious. Whitaker had his
hip slightly hurt and Mitchell's face was
burned badly.
This is the fourth time this mill has
been burned. The last time was about
two years ago.

STILL A DEEP MYSTERY.
Problem of the Noted Pennington
Bank Robbery Not Yet Solved.

Problem of the Noted Pennington
Bank Robbery Not Yet Solved.
J. B. Ware, cashier Of the Farmers
Savings bank Of Pennington, spent
Saturday in the city on business. To
a Courier reporter Mr.. Ware stated
that SO farno clew has been discovered
to the robbers who looted the bank
last spring of $1,000. He said that the
Pinkerton detective agency still had
men on the case, but SO far no arrests
have been made.
Cttumwa people will remember the
Pennington bank robbery as one of
the most inexplicable that ever oc-
Cured in Iowa. The bank was enter
ed some time between Saturday night.
March 4, and Monday morning, March
6, and the money taken. The safe
had been opened by the burglars with
out disturbing the interior of. the bank
in any way. Several of the bank Off
Gals claimed to have been in the bank
Saturday night and to have closed and
locked the safe, which was found
standing open Monday morning. Mr..
Ware had gone to Eldon to spend
Sunday with relatives and was not in
tho bank at closing time Saturday af-
ternoon. The robbery has been a
most mysterious affair, and it is quite
likely that its perpetrators, and how
the deed was done, will never be
known.

Wanted to Go to Better Telephone
Saturday Evenng-StiI! Gone.
Pat Nicholson, young man who
was jailed for a 30-day term week
ago, on charge of fighting in the
streets, escaped from the county jail
at 6 o'clock Saturday night.
He wanted to talk with a friend
somewhere in the city, on a very i'm
portant matter, SO he said to the turn
key, and he was permitted to use the
office phone. He made various inef-
fectual attempts to make his party
understand (something extremely
hard to do on some Ottumwa phones)
and he wanted to go out for minute
and try another one. Being hatless
and coatless it was thought he was
really in earnest, and no doubt he was,
but when he reached open air, the de-
sire for freedom overcame him, and
he skipped.
1t was dark then and the absence of
hat and coat made little difference,
especially when he kept we'll in the
dark places. Pat showed UP a few
minutes after he left the Jail, at a
home on Mclean street, where he ask
ed an old friend for the loan of a hat
and coat. The friend soon procured
the garments and accompanied Pat to
the train, and also as far as Mt.
Pleasant. From that point Pat went
on and the friend returned to Ottum-
wa.
The police officers think it may be
long time before Pat returns on this
occasion, and no one would blame him
If he did not.

A COAL MINE FLOODED.

What might have proved a serious

Shortly before noon Saturday one
of the miners in attempting blast in
his entry, accidently drilled thru an
old unused shaft, that was full of wa
ter. The hole thus made began to
leak rapidly, and soon the mine began
to flood. 1t was necessary to call all
the miners at work to the surface.
which was done, and everybody got
out safely with their tools. Mr.. Styre
stated this morning that there was no
damage, and no one was hurt. The
pumps were started to work this morn
ing and the mine will be pumped out
in a day or two.
A GroundIess Report.
A report was current today that
Daniel Baum's mine, which is in the
vicinity of the Excelsior mine, was al
SO Hooded, but an inquiry revealed
the fact that there was no ground for
this report, and it was probably set
on foot by some one who did not
know the difference between the
mines. of which there are several in
the vicinity of the Excelsior.
