heavy charges from q shotgun into
Agent Brooks back and leg. The as

curing a small amount of money. and
escaped. The affair was one Of the

of capturing the desperate, who will

HIS HEAD SPLIT OPEN.
Condition Of the Dead Body Of John
Green.

Marlboro, Mass. Dec. ia murder
which evidently had robbery as a mo-
tive, was committed in the town Of
Maynard, about twelve miles from this
city. this evening. The victim was
John Dean. over 70 years of age, who
lived alone on his farm during the day
time. but whose two daughters kept
him company nights. When they re-
turned home at $50 o'clock tonight
from Maynard village, where they are
employed In the mill, they found their
rather lying dead on the kitchen floor.
His head had been split open with
an axe, which was found by his side,
covered with blood. The fact that Mr..
Dean was known to have had quite a
little money on his person. which was
missing when his dead body was dis.
covered. furnishes good grounds for the
belief that robbery was the motive.
