A RUNNING FIGHT
Between Officer and Armed Burglars
at Haverhil, Mass.

Haverhill, Mass, Dec ia running
fight between Policeman Henry Grim
shaw and trio of armed and desperate
burglars took place on the streets OF
this city, early this, morning. Nearly
score of shots were exchanged, but no
one was hit. The burglars managed
to effect their escape, but the police
have good description of them, and it
is believed that their capture IS mat
ter of few hours only.
Previous to coming to HaVerhlll, the
burglars visited the town of Groveland,
three miles from here, where they
broke into the blacksmith shop and
stole a quantity of tools. Equipped
with crowbars, hammers and Wrenches,
they entered the grocery store of
Charles p. Boynton, and made an I'M
successful attempt to blow open the
safe with nitro-glycerine.
John C. Cobban, who lives in a build
ing adjoining Boynton's grocery store,
heard the sound of the explosion, and
seeing the burglars shot at them. They
opened fire on him with their revolvers
and then departed in the direction of
Haverhill Mr.. Cobban Immediately
notified the police Of this city of what
had occurred in GrOveland, and the
battle in the streets here was the Sc
uuel to the Groveland break. Investi-
cation at BoyntOn's store showed that
small box containing $50 in money
had been carried off and few stamps
and large quantity of cigars We're
missing.
1t is believed that the three men who
| figured in the affair are members OF
the same hand Which, Nov. 10, blew
open the safe of the Merrimac post
office, after having bound the chief of
police and locked him up in his own
station house. Recent breaks in Lynn
Danvers and Salem, are also attributed
to the same men, as the description of
the burglars tally in all cases.
