The jail was almost immediately
surrounded 'by a howling mob of sa

laborers. Threats wore made but no
leaders appeared and It was not un
til tho news that Howard had died
at 9 o'clock last night reached the
crowd that the situation really bo
came desperate. Cross ties were
brought from the railroad yards,
battering rams constructed and an
attack made on the jail. Sheriff

Newark, m Ohio, July. 9. Sheriff
Linkolm and his deputies are today
searching the county for tho ring
leaders of tho mob which last night
lynched Carl Etherington, a 22-year-old
detective employed by tho Antl
Baloon league. Tho lynchers wore
not masked and a number of arrests
were expected before night. A
special grand jury will bo called to
consider tho cases,
A revulsion of feeling has sot In
today as a result of last night's dis
graceful outbreak and all danger of
Srther trouble seems past. Adju-nt-General
Woybrecht, together
with Colonel Barber, of tho Fourth
Ohio regiment,' arrived hero before
daylight but after canvassing the
situation countermanded tho order
for troops as tho passion of tho sa
loon element seems to have spent it
self and tho peopjo have been sob-,
ered by th realization of what oc
curred last night. Tho streets aro
deserted today and it is said thnt a
number of the ring leaders of tho
mob, friends of William Howard,
tho slain saloon keeper, have fled
from the state.
Adjutant-General Woybrecht (s

Llnkolm, whom he holds partly re
sponsible for tho lynching which he
says might have been prevented bad
troops been called in time.'
Tho trouble which culminated In
tho lynching of Detective Ethering
ton last night was the outgrowth of
an attempt by tho Anti-Saloon
league to show tho presence of a
"blind tiger" in Licking county,
which Is "dry" under tho Rose local
option law. Detectives, of whom
Etherington was one, wero sent to
Newark to make a series of raids.
Their coming had been tipped off to
the saloon eloment and trouble
.Btartod early In the day.
In a raid on the "Last Chance"
restaurant eonduoted by William
Howard, former chlof of police of
Newark, there wns a olash and when
Etherington attempted to entor
private room of the plaee Howard
threw his arms around the deteetlv

then, llko a huge bird whoso pinions
wero unable to sustain it in Its
aerial flight, It quivered for a mo
ment in tho air and then fell to the
ground in a heap, and tho crowd,
disappointed, surged back to the
