Mob fears after attempted assault on Mrs Geisinger

Mrs. Geisinger and her family, shaken, described insulting remarks and a frightened chase from Market Street alley toward the old Bur ser vice pond. Observers reported a possible crowd of 60 ready to form a mob, though calm prevailed in Frederick.
