The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1903-09-12

Yesterday afternoon one OF the residents
of Fort Hill had lively chase after an
Armenian who had been annoying his
young daughter with improper attentions.
The little girl. who IL about is years old
was playing on the hill when the Arme-
nian tried to entice her away from COM
panion.
When he failed In this attempt he tried
the same thing with a smaller girl, who
was with her. but did not succeed In get
ting the children separated from each
other. He had been seen in the vicinity
some time before and had evidently fol-
lowed the children from their homes
nearby to the place where he interfered
with the little girls.
The father OF one OF the children was
working In the vicinity and discovered
that they were being annoyed by the man
and started TO chase him. The chase led
to the edge OF the embankment near the
pond at the foot OF the hill on the rail-
road side and the man attempted TO run
down the face of the hill.
When about halfway down he lost his
balance and rolled the remainder OF the
way. Here he lay for a moment and then
child was coming down the hill by the
path and scrambled to his feet and start
ed TO run.
The chase led to the Armenian colony
on Second street and the father was
about to enter q house In pursuit of his
man when he discovered that II was an
Armenian boarding house and concluded
that discretion was the better part or
valor He started to walk away when the
Armenian, encouraged by the advantage
that he had gained In turn became the
pursuer and chased the father Of the
child whom he had annoyed.
The latter ran to a neighbor's and en-
deavored to borrow a weapon with which
to effect the capture of the man who was
the cause OF the trouble and being un-
successful in this went to his own home
and entered the house After lettering
about for few minutes the Armenian
went away and the man who had been
chased last went to the police station and
reported the matter there.
The Armenian. whom the Fort Hill man
saw plainly before the chase, stated he
thought that he recognized as one who
lived in this town.

BUILDING OPERATIONS. y

that the amount Of taxable real estate

ing built as rapidly as possible and the
