and turned no letters over, the inspec-
tors, who were near by, were notified,

CHASED BY A MOB.
Policemen Saved Victor's Life
Only by Drawing Revolvera
He Had Torn Joseph Sigvitz's Beard
Out by the Roots.
Patrol Wagon and RescuiDg Oflccrs
Stoned by Avenging Friends.

Joseph Victor, OF 1870 Cook street, Will
iamsburg, was held in the Even street
Court this morning on n charge of as
sault in the second degree. Policeman
Toland informed Justice Watson that
the man had a very narrow escape from
being killed.
One OF the most highly respected of
the people on the block where Victor
lives Is Joseph SlSvltz. of 1877 Cook street.
who Is an old man with long white
beard. At l.30 yesterday afternoon Sig
vltz was sitting on the stoop OF his res
iience with his wife and three grown
daughters. Victor and two friends came
along, and Victor left the party, ran up
the steps and pulled a quantity OF Sig
vitz's beard out by the roots.
The women rushed to the old mans
assistance and pushed Victor down tho
stoop head first. The fellow ran back q
moment later, and with big lock he
had in his hand struck Slgvit2 over the
head, inhicting a possible fracture of the
| skull.
Then Victor started to walk away,
but Sigvitz, standing on the steps with
called upon his neighbors to avenge him.
Then he fell down unconscious. and has
since been confined to his house in a
critical condition.
The old mans friends thought he was
dead. and setting up howl started In
pursuit of the man they regarded as
his murderer. Victor and his friends
separated, but no attention was paid
to the latter, the entire crowd keeping
after Victor. The man ran down Cook
street, and by the time he reached Ora
ham avenue there was a mob of nearly
| 1000 people at his heels, most of whom
| had clubs or stones in their hands.
| Victor turned south on Graham ave-
| nue. and ran clear to Broadway before
| he met a policeman. Standing on the
corner was Patroman Toland. Of the
Stagg street station and to him Victor
| appealed for protection. The crowd
was too enraged to listen to argument,
| and Toland hustled hts man on board
| a Flushing avenue car, on which, Tor
| tunately Policeman Lippi was riding
| The two policemen mounted guard, one
| on each side of the seat where Victor
| was crouching, and with drawn revol-
vers threatened to kill any of the
| crowd that came too near.
For ten minutes they kept the crowd
at bay, and then the patrol wagon
| which had been summoned by another
| policeman, came dashing along, with
| half a dozen policemen. The policemen
surrounded Victor. and mangod to ge,
| him into the wagon. No movement was
made by the crowd until the wagon
| started to move away. and then 1t was
assailed with a shower of stones, sew.
eral of the officers being struck.
THAT fellow had about the narrowest
escape on record" said Toland. for II
he hadn't been n good runner. he woult
most certainly have been killed"

FORTUNE AWAITS HIS RETURN
Young Nathan Reigold Is Heir

This snug fortune comes to young Rel

body seems to have any definite knowl.
edge OF just where the young heir Is To-
Gated. Reigold. who is about twenty-five
years old. lived in various places on the
lower east side. He barely had the
means OF subsistence, and yet he had the
courage to get married several months
ago. II Is not, therefore. strange that
Rei-old and his wife parted after a
brief experience in married life and the
bride returned to her parents.
Counsellor Frank hunted high and low
in the Bureau of Vital Statistics for a
record OF Reigold's marriage. but he has
been unable to get any trace of 1t. The
lawyer does not know the name OF the
bride He hopes, through the medium OF
"The Evening World" to locate young
Relgold.
