AnS thi. balplsss Individual was John A Kan

/ City Of New York. The mob had nearly killed
him. They meant 20 kill him. They set osi
WITH discrimination to Kill him They beat him,

There was also eRs pleasant little cottage
dwelliDg-hOuse, aud the rest Of the lots were
taken up by a blsck of comparatively new Eve
story "stsres," which we're occupied for buEi
.ess purposes by various retail merchants.
The attic rooms and the rear apartments o.
these "stOres" were inhabited by families, sns

this organized mob of foreign rssdiss, Who are
rsshing more surely to their own destruction
