UNDOUBTEDLY MURDER.
Providence Armenian Dead-His $500
Missine-One Arrest.

Providence, r. l., Oct. 15.-What the
police believe will prove to be a case
of murder developed, today. when the
body of Peter Ouloosian, 50 years of
age. an Armenian. was found in sta
BILE near Gladstone avenue, this city.
To all appearances the man was
struck upon the forehead with a blunt
instrument and four severe decorations
on the throat indicate that he was
choked to death. Robbery was the APP
parent motive. because the Armenian
is known to have had 5000 in his pos
session, last night.
A man who gave his name as Nonoog
Caserian was for while detained by
the police. who have clues which may
lead to Il number of arrests.
Ouloosan leaves n widow and fam
lily in Armenia. He was treasurer of a
society which aimed to establish an
Armenian school in this city and had
made plans to advance the $500 which
he carried when last seen. yesterday
toward taking up mortgage on some
property which the society desired. 1t
was generally known among the Ar
menians that he had a large sum Of
money on his person.
Two men whose names have not yet
been given. are known to have been
with him just previous to his disap
pearance. last evening. 1t is thought
he was feled by a blow on the head
and after life had been choked out he
was robbed and the body dragged into
a stall in the barn and left under a
horses feet.
The result of the autopsy showed that
Ouloosian came to his death by stran-
gulation.
This afternoon. the police arrested
Sarkis Nargashian on suspicion and he
has been identified as the man who was
drinking, last night. with Ouloosian.
Kazarian. the man first arrested, has
been released

The second day of the Sagadahoc
County fair has un4uestionably proved
itself a record breaker. Secretary Ted
ford stated, late this afternoon, that he
should consider 10000 a very conserva-
tive estimate of the crowd, while nearly
everyone estimated the crowd consid-
erably in excess of this figure. At any
rate the 5000 tickets that had been
provided were gone at O'Clock. A
splendid list of attractions, grand
weather and fine management con-
tributed to bring about this result

day along the Midway.
The afternoons attractions consisted
principally of the races, with good fields
of horses, a football game between Bath
High school alumni and a team made
up from the Hyde Light Guards of the
same city, a balloon ascension and an
unusually large hall exhibit.
The football game resulted in vic
tory for the High school alumni. The
game was called at 2.30 and it was a
hard one 10 play. In addition to very
rough field. it was an utter impossi-
bility to keep the crowd from crowdng
in on the teams on every down. The
teams were evenly matched as to
weight, but the soldier boys had no
business with the High school men
as they could neither rush the ball nol
hold for downs.
The Guards first kicked off to the
High School. who fumbled the ball, but
got it again on downs. They ther
rushed the ball slowly down the fielo
for a touchdown after II minutes OF
play The soldiers again kicked to the
High school alumni. The latter rushed
the ball about so yards in the remain

In the second half things went in thu
same way, the High school men making
still greater gains and securing tw'
