MOB TOOK THE TOWN.
And This Happened In Ohio, Mind You,
Not In The Sunny South.

One night last week at SPRING
field, Ohio, a mob of fully 1000
men and boys terrorized the
negro section of the town for
several hours. The cause of the
trouble was the shooting of a.
white citizen by two negroes.
AS soon so the news of the shoot
ing spread the mob gathered,
and its first act was to loot a
saloon. The fury of the gather
ing was increased by intoxicants,
and the mob marched to that
portion OF the town occupied by
the colored population. Houses
were battered to pieces with
stones and with posts used as
battering rams. Several houses
were fired and officers of the law
were totally unable to cope with
the mob. Hundreds of negroes
left the town. Only the arrival
OF state troops could quiet the
frenzied citizens.

raised in Middle Tennessee on a
farm, where he worked during
! his boybood days, and a tended
the common country schools oc-
casionally. Soon after be be-
came of age, the Congress Of the
United States declared war
against Mexico, and James K.
Polk, then President, issued his
call for volunteers to take part in
the contest. Mr.. Matheny. ,
young man full of ambition and
patriotism, answered the Presi-
dents call by volunteering as a
private soldier and went to
Mexico, gemaining there until
the struggle was over. Return
mig to his home in Tennessee, and
not being entirely satisfied to re-
main there, he decided TO 60
wet and find for himself and
little family a home in a new
country. So in the year 1851
they came to this country and
stopped in what is now Rich
wJcds township, near Ash Flat,
where they remained on a farm
for a year and a half. Mr..
Matheny then moved and located
on a tract of land some two miles
south of the town of Sidney,
where he built some houses and
cleared up a nice little place. |
think he taught school occasion
ally in this settlement. When
the war between the states came
up, having been born and raised
in the South, he at once espoused
her cause, and when a call was
made for soldiers to come to the
defense of the Southland, W. G.
Matheny readily joined in the
contest. He organized a Com
pany of Confederates, of which
he was made CAPTAIN, and was
soon ordered to duty east of the
Mississippi river. When the
army was reorganized he was
elected Lieutenant Colonel of
his regiment, and was engaged
in several fights with the enemy.
Finally his regiment was run in
to Vicksburg, where he remained
in the siege until Vicksburg was
surrendered in 1853, Mr..
Matheny was made a prisoner Of
war and sent to Johnson Island
prison, on Lake Erie, in that cold
country between the state Of
Ohio and the province of Ontario,
Canada, remaining there, half
starved and half-frozen for
twenty-five long months. Then
he was transferred to Richmond,
Va, for exchange, After the
war was over he returned to his
family to find this country almost
destitute of anything to subsist
on, but he, likes many others,
adjusted himself to the situation
and conditions and went to work
on his farm to build up and re-
gain his l5sses. He remained on
that farm until he sold it to Jesse
Johnston, after which he bought

Col. Matheny, together witch
the late Capt. Sloan of Smith
vile, was elected to represent
Lawrence county in the Legisla-
ture of Arkansas, serving from
| November 5, 1866 to March %,
1867. Again he was elected by
the voters of Sharp county to the
Legislature, serving from January
6 to April %, 1873, He served
Sharp county in the capacity Of
County Judge three terms in
succession, beginning in the year
1880. Col. Matheny has now
