A GERMAN COBBLER INCURs THE
WRATH OF PATRIOTS
HAD PULLED DOWN THE FLAG
So the Crowd Believed-Taken to His
Home Under Police Protection.
A Plucky Bootblack

Vnpatrl0t1c individual must, IN the opinion
of the public, be in exactly the same con-
dition that characterizes good indian. He
should be dead. A big crowd got the idea
yesterday that there was such person
on Fifth street, and for three hours hung
around the mans shop, threatening to take
him out and hang him to the nearest telo-
graph pole. That the object OF their anger
was badly frightened would be putting II
mildly, and 1t was only under the escort
of the police that the man dared to VEN
ture out of his place Of business to 60
home. The name of the Individuals LOUIS
Rehwald, German Jew. who conducts o
cobbler's shop at 2O5 West Fifth street. The
trouble all grew out Of fight the German
had in the morning with colored boot
black, and from the statements of Reh-
valid he did not deserve the animosity Of
the crowd.
Andrew J. Wilks, a colored bootblack,
who is employed at the barber shop sew
eral doors west of Rehwalds place, got
into conversation early yesterday morning
with an employee of the Burbank theater,
who said that he had heard that Rehwald
had expressed the opinion that the Amer
leans were to blame in having allowed
filibustering expeditions to go to Cuba,
and was glad the Maine had been sunk. At
his suggestion, he and Wilks went in front
of Rehwald's shop to ask him what he
thought about the recent victory of Com
modore Dewey in the Philippine Islands.
Rehwald is an old man, 62 years of age, and
has for some time past been made the butt
of jokes in the nejghborhood. According
to Wilks, RehwaId, during the course Of
discussion, declared that the Maine ought
