NATICK.
The report that a highway robbery had
been committed In the center of the viii
lage in broad daylight yesterday after
noon created considerable excitement
here last evening. The report spread
rapidly and grew as ii spread until the
story approached the proportions of a
wild western hold up. The facts of the
case were, a couple of fish peddlers from
Providence were hawking their goods
through the streets when they were ac-
costed by Joseph Ramon and Nicholas
Stone in front OF Lafiane's dry goods
store. The hucksters made an impudent
reply and for few moments the argu-
ment waxed hot, and finally ended in a
free fight in which the Providence men
got the worst OF the argument. In order
TO revenge themselves they entered a COM
plaint that they had been robbed, and
this morning the officers are looking for
Ramon and Stone.
