the Police of Lawrence.

Lawrence, Mass, Sept. 2.-Without an
instant's warning the life of little Isa-
belle Rossi was ended yesterday after
noon. She lived with her parents at 30
Common street. She and a companion
were scrubbing the floor in the Kitchen,
when Antonio Guatiero entered. Qua
tiero boarded with Isabelle's parents.
He went TO his room. adjoining the
kitchen. and washed his hands and face
and combed his hair. He then returned
to the room where the two children were
at work. Come to my room and wash
the floor" said Cuatiero.
Isabelle thought he was joking. and
refused. Guatiero went 10 his room
again and returned in short time with
an old army musket Pointing the
weapon at Isabelle's head, he again de-
manded that she scrub the floor. She
still thought him fooling and again re-
fused, and then Guatiero pulled the trig-
ger.
The child sank to the floor, and Qua
tiero stood for a second like one stupe-
fled as he gazed on the work he had
done. Then the shrieks of Isabelle's S
companion brought him to his senses,
and with a cry OF MY God! What have
] donel" he rushed from the house by
the rear door.
Neighbors gathered to learn the cause
of the shot, but Guatiero eluded them
and ran up an alleyway and made tor
the woods in South Lawrence.
Guatiero is still at large. He was last
seen going in the direction of North An
dover, where IL is thought he took a train
for Portland, Me. The police OF the sur
rounding cities and towns have beer no
titled and all the large cities have been

Priced Trade.
There is one lone lunch cart whose pro-
prietor does not seem TO have been affect
ed by the order from police head quarters
prohibiting such concerns from doing
business during the day time. 1t Is sit
uated near Point street bridge and as one
goes down South Water street these days
when, owing to the business depression,
things are as quiet as at midnight, pos
sibly little|quieter, one, IL 1t were not
for the bright sun, might think the
caretaker of the cart did not recognize the
fact that the time for suspendIng busi-
ness had arrived. This lunch cart Is not
a competitor If the big uptown restau-
rants and its menu is not extensive, for
the signs on the cart read: "Coffee,
1 cts, )" Frankfort, 2 cts.," and though
cheap, the quality of both articles 10
good. One is at first inclined to believe
that the reason for the low prices for the
articles named Is the prox unity of the
cart TO rescue mission restaurant. A

The young man in charge OF the cart
was not in the best OF humor this
morning, fora boy who had charge of a
horse and covered wagon had apparently
been nagging him. The boy had whip,
but just as he made a saucy remark the
lunch cart tender let the cover Of the
frankfort heater fly through an open
window. The boy was not hit, but
when the young mn came out Of TIE
cart the boy used the whip in lively
shape for time. The former finally got
hold OF the whip and the boy lodged
the blows, but he had to so home with
out the whip. IN the meanwhile, the
top OF the frankfort kettle kept on its
course toward the river. The whip and
cover were both finally restored to their
owners.
