words with blow from her parasol, which
knocked Mr.. Kuhn's hat off. II was inn

women, who tore il 10 tatters. Mrs. Mos
back in the meanwhile was vigorously ply
ing her umbrella over Kuhn's head and
shoulders. Policeman Sheen dash he'd aside
the men who were urging the woman on in
the assault and seized her arm. Kuhn then
ran into the Register of Deeds Office and
asked that he be protected from his indig-
nant countrymen. who, he said, had delib-

him. He believes his life to be constantly
in danger.
