LONDON, Jan. 30.--One man was as
sassinated and nine policemen we're
wounded in Dublin suburbs last night
The policemen were in lorry which
was proceeding to Dublin through the
suburb OF Terenure just before 1o
o'clock. When close to the city limits a
heavy fire was opened on the lorry from
both sides of the road. The policemen
returned the fire with unknown effect
and the lorry hastened to the police
barracks. A strong force was sent out,
and, after searching the neighborhood
Of the ambuscade, made several arrests.
The attacking force is believed to have
been unusually large on account Of the
volume of fire. Two of the wounded
policemen, one Of them an officer. are
in serious condition. There were thir-
teen policemen in the lorry.
Earlier in the evening a dairyman
was shot to death by two men in q
secluded road in the suburb of Rath-
mines, adjoining Terenure. His assas-
sination IS believed to have been due 70
his alleged intimacy with The police, as
who was shot earlier in the day.
On account of the increased activity
Of extremists tn Dublin and its vicinity
it is feared that rigorous restrictions,
similar to those enforced In Cork, will
be imposed on the capital.
Home Of Pearse's Mother Wrecked
BELFAST, Jan. 30. - Cullensw ood
House, in Ranelagh, Dublin suburb,
was wrecked Saturday night by the mil
,ltary. The house was owned by the ared
mother of Patrick n. Pearse, once
provisional president" Of ireland. who
was executed after the 1915 rebellion,
previously it was used at St. Enda's
College.
Lately. the building had been rented
out as flats, and a portion Of it was
occupied by Sim Fain club. It was
Pearse. One Of the flats had been oc-
cupied by Mrs. Mulcahy, but she and
all the other occupants, except Mrs.
Pearse, had left the building in De-
cember, owing to repeated raids. dur
ing one of which a bullet fired through
the front door narrowly missed Mrs.
Mulcahy's baby.
ihe mlntary wrecked the house with
pickaxes and crowbars. 1t ia said thev
were seeking Richard Mulcahy. a mem.
Der Of the Dali Eireann and the re-
puted chief of staff of the republican n
army.
Floor and Walls Ripped Up
The interior Of the building was de-
molished. All the windows wera
ssmesned, s.i N except IN the room occupied
ny MRS. Pearse. The floors and the In
terror walls were ripped up, part of the
root was gone and some Of the fur
nlture had been thrown out Of the win
dows. According to Mrs. Pearse the
Black and Tans who wrecked the housa
went away grumbling because they had
found nothing, and declared that thew
were always being sent on false trails.
Local opinion to-day seemed To he
that the wrecking of the house was
done in reprisal for the ambuscade at
Terenure. Residents Of the build;nr
were engaged to-day in removing the
furniture that remained in the rooms.
