was up. The man replied that there was row
np stairs. Kranz, suspecting the man to be a
burglar, grabbed him and called for help when
a desperate struggle ensued. The man. who
was a large, powerful fellow, struck Kranz
three or four times over the head, and giving
him some terrible kicks on the legs, broke
away, leaving two large pieces OF his coat IN
