Saddest New Yorker Loses Two Foot Beard In Sleep Theft
A long beard belonging to Patrick Hart, a 65 year old New Yorker and shoreman, was stolen while he slept on his doorstep in South Street. The man, once seen as a regional patriarch, mourns the loss of his pride as two men allegedly snipped the beard and fled. Also linked are a cascade of tragedies around Curtis Bay where Ed ward B. Upton and his family faced a sequence of mishaps, including a near fall overboard, clothing torn, and a train near-miss, followed by a fever striking the youngest son. A Chicago bride and Boston groom on a wedding tour attract attention aboard a railway, with a dining car delay and a waitress offering pork and beans as a notable, humorous moment.
