THUGS BEAT AND KICK BOY.
Four Attack Harry Jenkins After
Spitting on Sister's Dress.
Harry Jenkins, 17 years old, living at Sixteenth and College streets, was walking west on Fifteenth street near Prospect avenue last night with his two sisters, Minnie and Mamie, both younger than himself, when they passed a group of three or four ruffians, one of whom spat on the Sunday dress worn by one of the sisters.
"Do you take my sister for a spittoon?" asked the brother resentfully.
At this the toughs attacked young Jenkins, knocked him down and all of them kicked him viciously before the screams of his sisters attracted Officer Jesse Kemp, instructor in pistol practice on the police force, in front of whose house the attack was made.
The ruffians took to their heels when the policeman ran out. None of them was caught.
