Washington Courthouse, O.,
Oct. 17.—William Dolby, colored,
who one week ago criminally as-
saulted Mrs. Mary C. Boyd, aged
55 years, at Parrot's station,
near here, and who was captured
at Delaware, O., was brougnt into
court at 4 o'clock this afternoon.
He pleaded guilty and was sen-
tenced to twenty yeai-s in the pen-
itentiary. An angry mab gather-
ed about the jail yesterday after-
noon after Dolby had been identi-
fied by his victim and Sheriff Cnok
called to his assistance the local
militia. This action increased the
fury against Dolby and Gov. Mc-
Kinley was appealed to fcr addi-
tional assistance and troops from
Columbus were sent here this
morning, Col. Coit in command.
The mob surrounded the jail and
courthouse and attempted to take
Dolby from the officers when re-
moved from the jail to the court-
house for trial, but weie kept at
by the free use of bayonets and bv
clubbing. When brought to the
jail Dolby broke down. While
bringing him from the jail the mob
charged and almost got him.
Henry Kirk, the brother-in-law of
the assaulted woman, was knocked
down the steps and badlv bruised.
Another man was bayonetted
through the finger, while a bayonet
was thurst through the clothes of
another- Deputies with revolvers
drawn guarded the prisoner in the
courtroom. Do'by cried like a
baby and kept looking around for
help. Soldiers were marched in
to keep the crowd quiet. After
the sentence the prisoner was ta-
ken to the grand jury room. A
mob gathered about the courthouse
and it was imoossible to get the
prisoner thropgh to take him to
the train. The officers were pow-
erless to get Dolby from the court-
house to the jail or to the train
and Sheriff Cook wired the gov-
viuui iv acnu mult; IFUUjlS.
The mob grew rapidly in num-
bers and desperation. Col. Colt
made a speech, asking the crowd
to disperse, but it was received
with jeers. The prisoner was
prostrated from fear and lay cry-
ing and moaning all the time.
The mob kept Dolby and his
guards prisoners in the court
house until G p. m. anu then made
an attack. The military repelled
them without firing at first, but at
0:26 p. m. the south door was
forced open. This door faces the
street, which was filled with wo-
men and children. The guards
finally fired. None of the latter
was hurt, but about a dozen or
more persons in the street were
struck, two killed outright and
four more were fatally wounded,
uone having since died.
The killed are:
Smith Welsh, aged 10.
Jessee Adson.
Madison Johnson of Williams-
burg.
William Sums, shot through the
bowels, fatally wounded.
George Keating, aged 14, was
shot in both legs and groin, will
die.
F. L. Nitterhouse, an old prom-
inent citizen, was shot through
l>oth ankles.
A full list of the wounded can
not be had, as they were taken
away promptly, but the following
are known: Theodore Ammer-
man, Daile Parrot, John McClure,
John Korn, Ernest Ellis, Fiank
Smith.
The people are frenzied and
threaten to dynamite the court
been ordered from Cincinnati, Col
nmbus, Chillicothe and other
points. A little after 6 o'clock
the first rush was made on the
court house. A crowd of deter-
mined men attempted to break in
the south door while another party
charged on the north door. Some
one threw a stone at Colonel Colt
and he cried out that at the next
stone thrown he would order the
men to fire. The men at the other
door were unable to effect an en-
trance. The court yard was filled
with people and cries of "give us
the negro" and curses against the
militia filled the air. The crowd
grew in size every minute. A lit*
tie after 7 o'clock the militia in-
side fired at the crowd at the south
door and two men fell. Both were
reported to have been instantly
killed. Jesse Judy and a boy
named Welsh are said to be dead.
Theodore Ammerman was taken
to Bell's clothing store shot
through the thigh. It is said there
are several more wounded. Theo-
dore Neiderhause was carried
home badly wounded. He is said
to be shot in the groin. A man
named Kaufman was shot through
the wrist. Dalte DeWitt, who
was sitting across the street, wTas
struck on the arm by a glancing
bullet.
At the time the militia fired a
part of the mob was at the door
with a sledge hammer trying to
effect an entrance. An angry
crowd gathered and it was whis-
pered about that dynamite had
been sent for.
F. R. Neiderh, an old man, who
went to the court house to bring
his boy home, had the bones in
his leg all shot to pieces and it is
not believed he can live. The son
of Ellis Webber had his thumbs
shot off. John Korn of Jefferson-
ville was badly shot in the foot.
Johnny McHugh, a little fellow
standing on the outskirts, was
shot in the leg and in such a way
that he will likely die. The mili-
tia fired without warning and a
number of others are hurt beside
those in the list given. A man
named Samms was shot through
the bowels and will probably die.

Omaha, Neb., Oct. 18.—A
special to the Bee from Lincoln,
Neb., says:
The first joint debates on politi-
cal issues between Hon. W. J.
Bryan and Hon. J. M. Thurston
occurred here this afternoon. It
is estimated that 7000 people were
in agricultural hall during the
speaking. Many from other states
were present. The fact that both
speakers are avowed candidates
for the United States senate added
to the interest of the occasion.
The reception given to the prin-
cipal figures of the afternoon was
hearty and enthusiastic. C. J.
Smith of Omaha and John P. Maul
of Lincoln took turns in presiding.
As Mr. Bryan was to open the de-
bate. Mr. Smith made the intro-
ductory statement. He stated the
conditions of the debate and in-
voked respectful attention to both
speakers. Then he introduced
Congeessman Bryan, who was re-
ceived with cheers. The terms of
the debate confined the speakers
to no particular topic.
Mr. Bryan touched chiefly on
silver, the income tax and the Pa-
cific railroad indebtness. The in-
come tax was fair, and he was
satisfied the future would prove it.
As to the Pacific railroad, if he
was elected to the senate, he pro-
posed to do his best to have the
government mortgage foreclosed.
It was on the silver issue that

MAX ROY.
he was most eloquent. He was
sure the white metal woald be vic-
torious eventually. He pointed
to the gains it had made recently
in all parts of the country as a
vindication of his position.
Mr. Bryan was cheered vocifer-
ously at the conclusion of his re-
marks.
Mr. Thurston received a great
ovation. He is a graceful speaker
and in a measure has the advan-
tage over his opponent. His
speech was more of a general na-
ture than that of Mr. Bryan. He
confessed to be at a disadvantage,
as he was the attorney of the lead-
ing Pacific railroad: Stiil he was
confident that it was not to the ad-
vantage to the people of the whole
country to have the government
foreclose the seconu mortgage,
6ince it must then pay the enor-
mous first mortgage indebtedness
Replying to Mr. Bryan's income
tax views he was brief and depre-
cated the measure, believing it
could not endure.
On silver the speaker became
brilliant. After declaring, to the
surprise of some, that he favored
the free coinage of the American
production, he pictured the enor-
mous loads of foreign white metal
that wonld be dumped into this
country in the event of free coin-
age, and in closing declared that
the idea was perfectly preposter-
ous.
In Mr. Bryan's closing reply be
became personal and denounced
Thurston for his political acts of
the past.
They speak at Omaha tomorrow
night.
