With reference TO the recent disturb

his life at the hands of rabid mob,
says the Pittsburg Courier, 1t is peril
nent to note that the law by which the
relatives of the deceased will receive
from the county 5000 was drafted
by and passed through the efforts Of
the Hon. Harry c. Smith Of Cleye-

lator.
The law under which the sheriff and
the mayor Will be deposed was draft
ed by and passed through the efforts
OF State Legislator Eubanks, also OF
Cleveland.
II is also pertinent TO note that both
OF these laws were enacted after the
disgraceful affair at Urbana. In which
a Negro was lynchsa for a supposed
crime.
II Is question as TO whether the
governor Of the great state Of Ohio in
his action In accordance with these

his colleagues TO the fact that they
