the Interpolation of the government re-
speeding the concentration of British
troops on the border and the stoppage
of ammunition consigned to the Trans

the matter of the concentration of
troops on the border until the govern

Two Business Men

FIGHT ON ASHBURNHAM ROAD.
Attempted Robbery Near
Location Of the Recent
Armenian Murder.

Fitchburg, Sept. s.-Two prominent
citizens of this city were held up by
.highwaymen late yesterday afternoon
within a quarter Of a mile of the place
where the dead Armenian was recently
found on the road between this city
and Ashburnham, and were severely
injured by their assailants before they
escaped.
The parties owe their escape to their
quick wit. Ex-Councilman F. x. NORM
and Undertaken DUMAS went to Ash
burnham in the morning and were re-
turning when the affair happened Just
the other side of what is known as
Potato hilr' bridge, there is a delicious
spring of water, which travellers take
delight in sampling, and at this point
the trouble commenced.
Mr.. DUMAS alighted for drink, leav-
ing Mr.. NORM in the buggy, He had
just stopped over the spring, when
four men suddenly made their appear
ance from the bushes that linethe road
and gave the undertaken a vigorous
kick in the side.
He made a dash for the buggy as the
other two men attacked his companion
striking him from behind, probably
with club, as he fell upon the dasher,
striking on his face.
AS he recovered from the blow, he
reached for the whip and struck the
animal blow that sent him ahead at
full speed. Mr.. DUMAS had just man
aged to get into the buggy, and he also
was carried to a point of safety. Both
men were considerably injured by the
assault, and both are confined to their
homes today, That robbery was the
motive, there is 10 doubt Mr.. NORM
had $SS on his person and retained it.
The assaulted parties are sure that
they could identify the men, or at least
one of them, who is described as being
of medium height with a dark mus
tache, Wore dark clothes and a faded
felt hat of reddish color All were
rather young men. and seemed to be
too well dressed 10 be tramps.

However solemn he declared, 1.-THE

QUARRELtD OVER A DOLLAR.
The Lamp Exploded and
the Fire Department
Was Called.

Erford A. Cowden, teamster en-
ployed by John P. Squire & Sons, living
at 10 Liberty street, threw a lighted
lamp at his wife last night, at his
home, during family quarre! over the
loss of dollar, and during the excite
ment the fire department was called to
the house by an alarm turned in from
box AZ, at the corner of Belmont street
and Oak avenue.
Luckily, the lamp did not hit Mrs
Cowden, and when the fire department
and police arrived, she refused to swear
out warrant for her husbands ar
rest, although he came very near being
taken in hand by Officer Thomas Hur-
ley and Fred Porter.
Mrs. Cowden sent her little 12-year-
old son to the store last night for some
groceries, and gave him 81 bill to pay
Tor them. On the way home the little
fellow lost a dollar and, after hunting
around for it some time, gave up the
search and returned home crying He
told his mother of the loss, and his
step-father hearing it, demanded to
know how it happened, and after a
wordy argument he knocked the
youngster down on the floor and was
striking him when his mother inter
fered.
Her husbands temper got the better
of him. and reaching for a lighted
lamp, which stood on the table, he
threw it at her, but it went wide of it's
mark and struck the floor in the middle
of the room. Jimmie Quinlan, a
youngster living in the neighborhood.
heard the sound of breaking glass and
ran to the fire box and turned in an
alarm.
When the department arrived, Chief
Vaughn entered the house and was re-
buked by Cowden, who stood at the
door. He seemed to be under the in
f1uence of liquor, and the chief seeing
no fire about the house turned the place
over to Officer Porter, who was also
defied by Cowden. Officer Thomas
Hurley who came in the police patrol
with Driver Wilson, also talked the
matter over with Cowden, but nothing
could be done, as Cowden maintained
that his house was his castle, and he
would not be removed.
The officers left the place without
taking Cowden, as his wife refused to
make complaint against him The
floor in the kitchen was covered with
broken glass from the lamp, and a big
crowd gathered as is usual in such
cases, and things looked decidedly bad
for Cowden for a time, but he finally
quieted down.
