but the government forces mad prac-

The Associated Press has the follow

In few minutes after their arrival,
Deputy Marshal Brown and a squad
of police under Captain Parker, left
for the beach at Waikiki with orders
to search the premises of Henry Ber-

arms and ammunition. Just previous

.shots were heard from the rear OF the
house. The officers asked quickly:

replied, L know nothing about it.

is no doubt that C1rter's three wounds

surrounded The house, firing into ft

! the prisoners the officers returned the
fire but without effect, as their assail-
ants could not be seen.
| Realizing that their case was desper-
ate and that word must be got to town
| at all hazards. it was resolved that
Brown and Parker should make a dash
for their horses which were tied near
! the house. This was done with success
and they were soon at the nearest tele-
Iphone. Alfred Carter, who had been
missing since the Wounding of his
lCOusin, was supposed to be dead but in
reality had escaped with the same idea
ana for the purpose OF getting a doc
itor for his cousin. He had already tsIe-
lphOned to the narShaPS office besides
being fortunate in finding a doctor with
whom he returned to the scene of the
Tight alone. On approaching the gate
they were met with a. voIley. Dropping
Ito the ground Carter returned three
shots, but realizing the impossibiIity Of
getting into the house unhurt they both
made their escape.
The Natives Advance.
About this time the natives were adj
vancing on the house to take 10 BIZ
storm when one of the officers told
Bert6lmann ne would blow his brains
out on tine instant the first man inside
the house was hurt. Bertelmann called
to the natives outside to that effect
and they AIT once withdrew and ceased
firing.
Within two minutes after receiving
the telephone account of the fight a.
lation station at the government built
ling was ordered out. The command
was given to Lieutenant King. the
same vino led the expedition against
the leper outlaw Koulou some months
since. Volunteers were called for and
NEARLY every man in the barracks
stepped to the front. Within ten
minutes the detail WAS on the way as
fast as horses and wheels could carry
them, the distance being about four
miles. As soon as they appeared within
shooting distance of the scene of action
the natives fired a parting volley and
fed. Alfred Carter and DR.. Walters
came up at this time and were quickly
followed by others. Charles Carter re-
cefved the medical attention he so much
needed. 1t was found ne was shot in
the breast twice and once in the leg.
One of the breast wounds ranging
downwards entered the abdomen. He
was taken to his residence near by.
lwhere he died early the next morning.
