Ench is more than sixty-five years old and the eviction wns consummated dur ing a rainstorm while they were pre-' paring nn Easter reception for their' son, still a hospital patient, from wounds received in the Argonne. Hunter, a writ server for Deputy Sheriff Joseph Harrigan, and n man named Murray, had the household goods of the Glassmlres lpnded In trucks nnd carried to a storage house shortly after 0 o'clock last night. Then the fun began. Crowd Follows Car The crowd followed the car he board ed to Market street. The pole was pulled off the wire. Hunter csenped into the crown. For a time he wns unob served, but when he attempted to board another car he was seen. This car was chased up Sixtieth street to Callow-hill. An employe of the trac tion company saw the trouble ami turned the switch, shunting the car cast on Cnllowhlll street. The angered citizens followed the car east on Callowhlll street to Fifty-ninth street, the carbarn, where it was aban doned by the crew. Showers of bricks were thrown at the conveyance while Hunter was crouching inside. Four patrol loads of police had been summoned by a riot calf. They rushed the mob and succeeded in Kcttine to the carbarn, where they took refuge in an office, along" with Hunter. At the urging of one lender to "string him up" the mob rushed the carbarn..
