MILITIA WOULD NOT PROTECT HIM

Negro Unprotected.
Coi-UMitus, 0., June 4. A special to
the Dispatch trom Urbana, 0., saye:
Click Mitchell, the negro brute, has
paid the penalty of his foul crime with
his life. An outraged people have taken
the law into their own hands, meted
out the punishment he eo richly de
served and obeyed the command and
wish of iiis prostrate, and, aB announced,
dying victim. The sensational and un
fortunate events of the night intensified
the feeling against Mitchell, if it were
nnatU1n nnrl t)m lpfpr m i nnttrm iinrl
been general that the brute should never
leave the town alive.
After the firing of the militia on the
crowd of spectators during the early
morning hours, Governor Bushnell or
dered company IS, of the Third infantry
at Springfield, to come here at once.
The Springfield militia arrived at 7:10
this morning and left, their special train
on tlie outskirts of the city near the
water works. As they marched toward
the ceurthouse, the crowds greeted the
soldiers with hootings and insulting re
marks, and mud balls were thrown at
them. Women appeared on the streets
in large numbers, and their presence
eeemed to be nn incentive to the mob to
avenge in some manner the outrage to
Mrs. Gaumer. The excitement was
growing so fast that another clash be
tween troops and citizens seemed Inevi
table. When the company, thirty-Bix strong,
under Captain Bradbury, reached the
jail they found 2000 people there. They
marched into the jail yard, and were
met by Hon. M. Lewis, who said to Cap
tain Bradbury:
"We don't want you now."
'"Who are you?" asked the captain.
"I am a deputy sIierifT," replied Lewis.
"There is a sheriff over there," point
ing to Mayor Gonson, who came forward
from the crowd on the courthouse steps
and proceedod to address the militia and
the crowd.
The mayor assured the militia that
their services were not wanted, that the
people were law-abiding and would as
sist him in preserving order, that the
company could leave the courthouse
yard, and when their services were
needed he would send for them.
The Springfield company, without
waiting for further orders, marched
uown the street to the depot, without
the sheriff seeing them. The local mili
tary company had previously refused to
servo longer, and wont to the second
story of the sheriff's residonce and tried
to sleep.
With no resistance offered, the crowd
at once made a rush for the side door.
Two strong and determined men kicked
it down in short order and gained ad
mission to the jail, the crowd following.
There were plenty of sledge hammers,
chisels and other tools and the meu
went to work. Part of the crowd had
previously forced themselves upstairs
into the private apartments of the sher
iff and had found a bunch of keys,
which proved to be the keys of the jail.
The crowd got into the jail in short
order. They did not wait to unlock the
door to Mitchell's cell, but burst the
lock with a sledge hammer and the door

soon flew open.
Mitchell was standing in his cell and
offered no resistance and did not utter a
word. Some one in the crowd had a
rope, and it was placed over the brute's
neck and the crowd made for the door,
Mitchell following at the end. In going
down the steps outside the jail. Mitchell
fell down and the rope slipped offnf his
neck. The crowd purroutided him and
jumped on him like a thousand hungry
doga after a bone. The brute was kicked,
beaten and almost killed.
Tlie rope was quickly slipped over his
head again and a rush made for a tree in
the corner of the courtyard. An end was
throw over a strong limb and a thousand
willing hands pulled the wretch up.
The end was tied to the iron fence and
Mitchell was left hanging there in full
view of several thousand people to die.
All this was done in quicker time than
it takes to tell the story. Tlie lynching
took place at 7:30 this morning.
Those taking part in it made no attempt
to disguise themselves. It is not known
who did the work and the person who
attempts to find out will get himself into
serious trouble.
It is doubtful if Mitchell died from the
effects of hanging. His miserable life
had been almost kicked out when he fell
down. It is the general opinion that he
was unconscious when strung up.
The brute's body was left hunging for
an hour oi- more and tho people of the
city flocked to see it. It was finally
drawn down and placed in an under
taker's box and left lying in the court
house yard, open to the public gaze.
Governor Bushnell is en route here

TUK CUISIE AND ITS KKSULTS.
Events Which Led Up to the Lynching
of Mitchell.
UitiiANA, O,, June 4. Never was there
such a tragedy in this city as that en
acted at 2 :30 this morning. Two men
lay dead and six seriously wounded, with
one more that may die. Since the de
plorable shooting the people are stand
ing around the corners sadly and serious
ly discussing the awful and appalling
tragedy.
When the shooting occurred an attempt
was being made by a mob to enter the
tho jail Irom the rear. The militia were
in the hall on the secood floor, and
standing at the windows. Higgins, of
West Liberty, and another man had
sledge hammers in their hands and had
broken the glas3 in the door leading to the
Imll from which the jail is entered.
Suddenly the militia opened fire with-
out warning, and lliggins fell back with
the exclamation : "My God, I urn shot I"
Then followed tho scene of death and de
struction that brought others down.
The panic-stricken citizens exclaimed :
"No one is safe here but Mitchell."
The city of 0000 inhabitants is an un
usually orderly one. With its colleges
it has always had the highest repetation,
but pandemonium reigned last night.
Itecentlv Mrs .Eliza Gaumer, the wid
ow ot the lato publisher of the Urbana
Democrat, was criminally assaulted by
Oharle3 Mitchell, alias "Click" Mitchell,
ii notorious netiro, who was arraigned
last Wednesday, but his victim was too
in tn HTim.nr in court. The man was
lt V ..j-f-... -
taken to her home for identification.
Ah he entered tlie door she exclaimed :
"Hang him I How dare ycu face me,
you brute?"
In default of bail Mitchell wao locked
up in the city prison, but on account of
the feeling was removed to the county
jail the same night for safe keeping.
That night the the jail was surrounded
by a mob that was held in check by the
sheriff's posse and the local company of
Ohio National Guard. Last night the
situation was mor threatening than ever,
and Gevernor Bushnell was called on for
assistance, but refused to order the
militia from any other place here. This
city.'is only twenty miles from Springfield
and forty miles from Columbus, from
which place troops could have been
transferred, but it was thought that
Mitchell could be taken to the peniten
tiary quietly.
The grand jury was impaneled yester
day and Mitchell was indicted for crim
inal assault. Then the crowd was
thrown off the trail by bringing Mitchell
into court in a eoldiers uniform.
Mitchell was scared, pleaded guilty and
was sentenced to the limit of 20 vears.
The trial lasted only a few moments,
ana jiitcnen wanted to get to tlie pen
itentiary at Columbus quick, but when
the carriage drove up to the jail the
crowd rushed to get Mitchell and lynch
him. Another crowd surrounded the
depot. Tho sheriff remained fortified in
juil with his prisoner while the militia
patrolled about the ground.

Mr. James Rowland of this village,
state that for twenty-five years his wife
has been a sufferer from rheumatism.
A few nights ago she was in such pain
that she was nearly crazy. She sent
Mr. Rowland for the doctor, but ho nad
read of Chamberlain's Pain Balm and
instead of comg for the doctor he went
to the store and secured a bottle ot it.
His wife did not approve of Mr. Row
land's purchase at first, but neverthe
less applied the Balm thoroughly and in
an hour's time was able to go to sleep.
She now applies it whenever she feels an
ache or a pain and finds that it always
gives relief. He says that no medicine
which she had used ever did her as much
good. The 25 and 50 cent sizes for eale
