Work Upon.

| DJ itSSOClileO freSs,
HUDSON, N. Y, Sept 3.-Masked
men sprang out of the bushes along q
lonely lane this afternoon, held up
Dent Fowler, paymaster OF the Atlas
Brick Company and his negro driver
shot Vic driver dead, mortally wounded
Fowler and made off with chest of
ply envelopes containing $4,000
George Ragsdale, the driver, died in
stantly. Half the side of his head was
torn away by two 44-caliber revolver
bullet. He was 90 years old and a
trusted employee. Fowler was wounded
over the heart and died without ever
regaining consciousness. He was q
years old, son of Everett Fowler Of
Haverstraw, n. Y. The robb4rs es-
capped.
Arms Of No Avail.
Saturday is payday at the yards of
the Atlas Brick company, and according
TO custom, Fowler called at New
burgh bank. for his pay money, sorted
1t out into the proper amounts, tick.
cted the envelopes and started to drive
back to the yards. half mile away.
He went armed. and for further pro
lection took with him Ragsdac, who
wos stable boss at the yards. 1t was
raining, ard they rode with the buggy
top up, the boot well raised in front
and their heads far back in the hood.
Just what happened is not known, as
Fowler died before he could mutter
more than a few unintelligible words.
; Although slt Ugh the shooting was done
mems home and within sight of the
yards themselves, it was neither seen
nor heard, The police have to piece
together a theory of the crime from
bullet holes and footprints. Five shots
were fired. Two tore away the side
of Ragsdale IS head. A third struck the
paymaster above the heart The fourth
and fifth passed through the back of
the raised buggy top. From the size
of the holes, it would appear that the
robbers used regulation army .44-caibre
regolvers.
Probably Five Bandits.
From the footprints there seems to
have been five robbers The holdup
each other almost with the rapidity Of
the shots themselves. 1t can be seen
that somebody grabbed the horse s
bride. If n demand for the paymas-
ter g box was made, he never had time
TO refuse or comply. There is no evi
dence that he attempted to defend
himself Five sets of tracks led north
ward from the scene of the murder A
short distance from tho roadside, New
York Central detectives and the Hud- |
son police found where the trails |
but they have no other clue |
and no description.
1t was variously reported here this
afternoon that the murderers got $l5,- !
100 and $500, but advices from New
1urgh. where the money was drawn,
,lace the amount at $4,000.

cause in nature all the colors blend 50
exquisitely.
zone of the most popular birds, OF
course is the peacock, and all the Won
derful shades of gold, green and VlVld
blue are blended together.
1.-THE most attractive way of arrang-
ing the. ninons is to have an under
dress of dull gold and an overdress OF
shot blue and green slit up the SIDES
so as to show the gold.
1.-THE only decorations are peacocks
embroidered In all their natural colors
with tails spread.
"The jay is another bird which is
we'll worth while copying. and the
kingfisher makes a wonderful robe,
with all the exquisite blues mounted
over orange.
