FOOTPADS AT WORK.
They Secure the Proceeds of an
Italian Ball.

Two footpads held mp young man on
Mason street, near Broadway, between g
and o'clock last night, and extracted 1913
from his garments with neatness anG dis
patch. The victim is d. Benveuutl, an
Italian, who lives at 1895 Mason stree. He
was roughly handled by the robbers, but
his injuries are not serious.
BenYenuti IS Secretary and Treasurer Of
an Italian society which recently gave
ball, the proceeds of which he has since
been carrying around in his clothes He is
also collector for a private Italian school
and was out on collecting tour last night
While walking along Mason street, near
where he was robbed, two men accOsled
Benvenuti. They asked him for a few
bits" with which to allaY the bangs of
hunger and thirst.
Mr. Benveuuti refused their request, and
went into the house of pupil Of the private
school, where he collected some more money
10 carry around. He shortly came out. and.
while walking along juggling his coin, he
noticed two men following MIN, bat thought
nothing Of them at the time. His mind sud
denly reverted TO human beings. however
when he felt TIE grip Of a strong hand on
the back Of his neck.
The next instant dirty palm was clapped
over his mouth, and Benyenuti knew that
he was being robbed. He made an effort To
draw his pocket-knife, but the other man
hit MIN on the head with something and
BrnVenutl became strangely Indifferent to
what was going on. He remained uncOn-
scious until friend came along and helped
him to the Receiving Hospital, where DR..
Holmes dressed lump on the back Of his

The victim is almost certain that the men
who asked him for money are tile ones who
stole his gold and silver coins, also his
watch and chain, which are missing. All
