POLICE ON THE ALERT.
=Rumors Current That Mob May At.
tack Dayton co., Jail.

Dayton, O., March Reports are
in circulation that the jail in this city,
where Edward Dean and Preston
.Ladd, the negroes who caused the
Springfield CO.. riot are now confined,
may be attacked. 1t is feared that
some OF the mob leaders of Springfield
will come by train or traction cars to
Dayton and incite the railroad men
and their sympathizers to violence.
The distance from Springfield to Day
ton is only twenty-five miles. In con
sequence of this feeling the police
have been instructed to keep a close
watch on saloons and other places
where the mob spirit might show it
self. The jail is a very formidable
building and could not easily be broken
into.
