and excitement of the assault!
They name among them the very
best and most law-abiding citizens
OF the county, and include one
who had been for a week before
the occurrence, and is now, far
distant. Being close prisoners,
they were unaware of his absence.
The Spaughs are now in the st.
Louis Jail, where they will be held
until their trial for the murder OF
Sheriff Polk comes up next Oc-
tober. They are under the care of
a trained nurse and will no doubt
fully recover by that time, though
their wounds are more serious
than thought at first.
The Governor, it is reported,
will send down a State official to
investigate the affair. Our own
officers are doing what they can,
and will render him all the assist
ance in their power. The Gov
ernor's spectacular solicitude for
the good name of the State is I'M
necessary to law and order here,

The following is reproduced from
Monday evenings 1t. Louis POST
Dispatch: "WilliaE and Arthur
Spaugh, the young brothers OF
Ironton riddled with bullets early
Saturday morning by a mob that
entered the Ironton Jail, where
they were being held for the MUIR
der of Sheriff John w. Polk, Mon
day prepared a statement at the
city jail, where they are now held,
to be forwarded to Gov. Folk. In
their statement the Spaughs name
Is citizens of Iron county, chiefly
residents of Ironton and some of
them very prominent men, who,
they allege, took part in the at
tack on them in their cell. In
their statement to the Governor
the brothers make declarations
that involve present county officers
in Nthe crime, and which if sub
stahtiated will result in an up
heaval among those Office holders.
The brothers say that they were
awake when the mob came, hav-
ing been led by circumstances to
believe they were to be attacked.
They say they recognized the
pistol which they captured in the
fight as belonging to a certain
member of the party that SUR
rounded them in the cabin east of
Ironton at the time of their arrest.
Mrs. Laura Ross, wife of William
M. Ross, a barber, living at 80
South Sixteenth street, and a sis
ter of the Spaugh brothers, called
at the Four Courts Monday morn
ing and asked to see the prisoners.
She was accompanied by her A.
year-old son, Ray, whom she
wished to take into the Jail with
her, but this was refused by Jailer
Dawson. Mrs. Ross pleaded in
vain, saying that the boy was a
great favorite with Arthur and Bill
Spaugh. She then took the boy
home and returned alone. The
meeting between the three was
affectionate, Mrs. Ross kissing
each of the Spaughs several times
and hugging them lovingly. She
asked them repeatedly if there was
anything she could do for them,
but was assured that they were
getting along nicely and desired
nothing from the outside! Both
Bill and Arthur Spaugh asked her
why little Ray was not with her,
and, upon being told that he was
forbidden to visit them in the Jail,
expressed their regret, saying that
they would like to see the boy.
Mrs. Ross remained only a few
minutes. Later the Spaughs asked
the jailer if they could be shaved
by Ross, but were told that this
was against the rules and that the
Jail barber would shave them.
Early Monday morning they were
taken, out of their cells and placed
in the bullring or corridor, which
is within the steel cage, their cots
being protected from the sun by
an improvised canopy. They
seem to be getting along fairly
well, although they were more
seriously wounded by the Ironton
mob than was at first supposed"

The Attempted Lynehing Of VIM.
and Arthur Spaugh.

An unsuccessful attempt to lynch
the Spaughs was made last Satur-
day morning about two o'clock.
At that hour Sheriff Marshall was
aroused by some one on the out
side calling to him for admittance,
claiming to be from st. Louis with
U. S. prisoners. This is no un-
usual occurrence, the Federal
authorities frequently sending
prisoners here to serve their time
for minor offenses. The sheriff,
who sleeps in the lower frontroom,
slipped on his trousers, and talk
ing the keys to the Jail proper and
the cells-they are in one bunch
responded to the call. When he
opened the front door he found
himself covered with r~evolvers in
the hands of masked men. They
grasped him in their arms and
carried him into his sleeping room
where they bound him hand and
foot. Securing the keys, the as
sailants proceeded with the work
in hand, leaving two of their num-
Der standing guard over him.
Opening the two doors between
the dwelling part of the Jail and
the strong room where the prison.
ers are confined, the mob went
direct to the cell occupied by the
Spaughs. Unlocking it's door,
and throwing it open, the assail-
ants began shooting. Probably
twenty or thirty shots were fred,
when the mob hurriedly departed,
no doubt assured that their in
tended victims had been de-
spatched. The sheriff was then
unbound, but cautioned to make
no outcry for ten or fifteen minutes,
those who released him assuring
him that for that space he would
be closely watched by mon sta
toned at the windows outside the
room. Before the allotted time
had expired, however, he left the
room and found on hurried in
vestigation that one OF the doors
leading to the cells had been
locked by the intruders, thus
securing the Jail against a general
delivery. He Immediately gave
the alarm and secured assistance.
Investigation showed that the
Spaughs were Suffering from a
number Of gunshot wounds, though
none were dangerous. William
Spaugh had a pistol shot through
his right arm at the elbow, and
another through his left cheek;
his left hip was filled with bird
shot, and left thigh badly Burned
with gunpowder. Arthur was shot
through the lip'and in the calf OF
the right leg; his left thigh had
four pistol wounds, and the calf
Of the left leg was torn away for
the space Of three inches-the lat
ter wound by a shotgun, and the
most serious of all. Physicians
were summoned without delay,
and the wounds dressed.
The mob evidently made a hur-
ried departure, for they left be-
hind them q coil Of rope innocent
Of it's intended use. Who com
prised that mob is q matter Of in
dividual conjecture.
The statement Of the Spaughs-
who were removed to st. Louis
Saturday evening, by order OF the
Governor-is too absurd to be
discussed seriously. They claim
to have recognized some twelve OF
