19. A mob of 19 men, most of them armed with automatics, held up Louis M. Beck, proprietor of a South Washington street bakery, when he drove In last night with a load of coal from Jer myn, shot hint through the leg and attempted to prevent Joe Saats, the driver of the coal truck, from bringing the cargo of fuel Into the city. The shooting occurred on. lower Cottage street about 8 o'clock.

Beck nri fiaat ljft In thA bftArnnnn frtr Vermyn and were returning with a oaa or coal, covered with a tarpaui In. The coal was destined for Beck's bakery. On lower Cottage street they were met by an advancing party of men, four of whom took the lead. As the truck drew abreast of them they whipped out guns and sent a volley of bullets whistling at the occupants. Beck fell back on the seat with a bullet through his right leg, Just above the knee.

Saats, the driver, crouched behind the wheel, stepped on the gas and sent tho truck hurtling at the advancing mob of men, who leaped to right and left as he drove 'through. Threats were hurled at him from the crowd and one of the gang lev elled a revolver at him, but no more shot were fired. DESTROYED BY FIRE The home of Mr. and Mrs. John Oraham, of Cliff street.
