with the slight denting of a portion
of her armor and the loss of small
section of her railing. AS soon as it

Mob and Hanged.

Newark, O.-Carl Etherington, q

by the State Anti-Saloon league as
blind tiger raider, was lynched here
at 1875 Friday night following day
of almost continuous rioting. The
heavy doors of the Licking county
jail were battered down and Ether

was shot; kicked and bruised before
the street was reached, and the finish
was quick
Etherington, early in the evening,
confessed he killed William Howard,
proprietor of the Last Chance" res
raid of alleged speak easies," and
narrowly escaped lynching at that
time. When news was brought from
the hospital that Howard had died
at 9 o'clock Friday night, the fury of
the mob took definite form. Large
battering rams were directed against
the doors of the Licking county jail
and the deputies were powerless.
The doors fell after an hours attack.
Crying piteously, Etherington, cur
ly-headed Kentuckian, who had been
serving as strikebreaker since he
was released from the marine service
three months ago, was dragged forth
and hanged, his body hanging for an
hour before the gaze of quiet and
sobered crowd, after which it was
taken to the city morgue.
