AND REV. CHARLES LOWTHER USES
AN AK ON A "JOINTIST.,
Another Crusader Attempts to Kill,
of Winfield i'm an Uproar.

WINFIELD, Kan, Feb. 13-A mob of
two hundred men and women, armed with
stones, axes, revolvers and shotguns, de-
molished Schmidt's saloon, the finest in the
city, early to-day. Some one fired half
dozen shots with a shotgun through the
front door, Then there was a general on
slaught with stones and guns on the win
dows and doors. Emma Denny received a
pistol ball in her face and was slightly
hurt. Although this was an accident. it
served to enrage the mob. and the crusad-
ers swarmed into the saloon. There they
found Charles and Henry Schmidt. After
driving them from the building through the
rear door, the mob created havoc right and
left. Cigar cases. mirrors and pictures were
smashed and those that could not be
reached with axes were shot full of holes.
The mahogany bar was hacked to splin-
tiers and all the bottles and barrels were
smashed. This was the work of but few
minutes.
The Schmidts ran to the front door and
attempted to defend their property. Rev.
Charles Lowther prevented Charles Schmidt
from entering the place by striking him
with an ak. The blow was a glancing one
and made only a scalp wound. AS he fell
TO the ground. Henry Schmidt made
"gun play in defense of his brother that
nearly cost him his life. One Of the cru

when companion wrested the weapon
from his hands.

and for a time serious trouble seemed like

of the Council TO plan means of quelling
the disturbance and providing against
further outbreaks. Tonight the Council
decided that all joints must close immedi-
ately. A mass meeting was held tonight
and an attack on the other Joints" Is ex-
pected before morning. The '.jointists'' are
defiant and bloodshed is feared.
This mornings attack was decided on at
a secret meeting held in the Baptist Church
last night. The crusaders met at the church
by prearrangement. this morning, and
marched directly TO Schmidt's place, be-
ginning the assault without the least warn

FOUR REGIMENTS READY.
Governor Nash Is Prepared to Rush q
Small Army to Cincinnati.


COLUMBUS, O., Feb. 1S.-Notwithstand-
ing all arrangements have been perfected
for sending troops to Cincinnati TO prevent
the Jeffries-Ruhlin fight, there is a prevail
ing belief among those most conversant
with the situation that there will be no
necessity for sending troops. Governor
Nash talks most reservedly OF his plans and
the information conveyed to him from Gin
cinnati. State officials freely express the
opinion that the evidence adduced from the
trial at Cincinnati is sufficient to warrant
the court granting an injunction against
the Sanengerfest Athletic Association and
the principals In the proposed fight There
Is an intimation also that Governor Nash
has received assurance from the athletic
association that in view of his determina-
ton to prevent the fight no effort will be
made to bring II off, even though the de-
cision OF the court should be favorable to
them. Governor Nash would neither affirm
nor deny the rumor.
AS the situation stands tonight, four
regiments of infantry and battery of ar
tillery are under orders to proceed to Gin
cinnati under direction OF the Governor.
These troops are: Second Regiment, Col.
j. l. Ream, Lima; Third Regiment. Col.
Harry E. Mead. Dayton; Sixth Regiment.
Col. Sanford Stanberry, Toledo; Eighth
Regiment, Col. Edward Vollrath, Bucyrus;
Battery II. Captain II. NJ. Bush, Columbus
An adequate supply of loaded ammunition
has been issued to these regiments. and in
event of call the men will report in heavy
marching order with shelter tents. The
troops will be mobilized at convenient
points and proceed by the shortest routes
to Cincinnati. Should the Governor order
out the troops none of them will move be-
fore tomorrow afternoon or evening.
