The cries of the mother nnd the dead
boy's friends attracted the attention' of
celebrators on tho stieet. nnd they soon
formed Into an angry mob threatening
injury to the reservist.
The prompt action of tevprnl patrol

"It was nothing but cold-blooded
murder," declared Jlrs. Uarbara Hoff

OVERBROOK DRY;
FORGOES BATHS
AS MAIN BREAKS
.Mauv uverbrook residents went with
out their morning tub today. Bild way
to begin the new year, they argued.
A break in a city main at Sixty-third
street and Lansdownn avenue Influenced
the water shortage. Tho. break occurred
nt 9 o'clock last evening, but few in.
conveniences were occasioned until this
morning, when water in apartment house
hollers was at a low ebb and there was
no supply for cooking or morning baths.
A small supply of bottled water was
located by peisons In tho dry zone at a.
corner drug store, but this was quickly
exhausted. Residents fought' good
naturedly over the bottled supply, which
proved Inadequate for the sudden needs.
A number of employes from the Bu
reau of Water are now at work on the
break and It la expected tlio usual sup
ply will be furnished the section before
night.
