The work of the bloodhounds is consid-
cred the best on record. They arrived
from Dayton, Ohio, at noon, and at once
followed the trail from the place of assault
in roundabout sources to the saloon where
William Glasco had been arrested followed
by thousands of enraged people threaten
ing vengeance. The mob selected 50 men
as leaders in the general movement OH the
armory and jail. At the armory they de-
manded the keys of Captain Thompson so
that they could secure rifles On being
refused they opened fire with their revol-
vers and Captain Thompson narrowly
escaped. Then the mob moved on the jail
The sheriff refused the demand for the
keys, and when the mob moved off to
secure battering rams he spirited the
prisoner out of the rear of the Jail and
escaped to Portsmouth.
Flash final score: Army, ~; Navy, 8.
