of an outlaw leper at Eva. Parker
went outside makai, and found
Holi OIL the grass. The lieutenant
had a bullet i'll his breast, and was
bleeding profusely. He was be-
coming weak and was unable to
rise. lie copld scarcely speak, but
said he wanted to fight. He was
taken inside.
All this time there was more or
less intermittant firing. Brown
and Parker, having placed police
man with j. B. Castle in charge of
the prisoners and premises, came
out on the lanai for consultation.
The situation was that while the
police and Citizens Guard had
captured the place, they had been
worsted in the fighting.
Holi interrupted the talk of the
officers to whisper to Parker
Henry Bertelman shot me with a
short gun. He fired from the
house. | saw him plainly. | think
he has that gun i'll the house. y
This rifle was found at once behind
the parlor door, and turned over to
the policeman.
Brown and Parker, having had
their force dispersed, decided to
make telephone connection and ask
for assistance. They had walked
off the lanai and mauka on the
lawn. AS they passed the upper
end of the house, several shots were
fired at them from the immediate
end of the residence. Mr.. Brown
thinks there were about fifteen men
there, and that the beach party of
similar strength was only portion
of the guard for the premises. The
deputy marshal and senior captain
rushed for their horses, which were
tied we'll to the lower end of the
lot. Quickly mounting they start
ed at top pace for the gate. They
were again fred upon from the rear
of the house. Across the road, at
the upper end of Bertelman's place,
is a straight cliff, part of Diamond
Head. Many bullets spattered
against this wall. Brown and Par
ker were barely in the road when
they met Swift, mounted patrol
man. The bullets were showering
about them, and one passed through
Swift's hat. Swift was hurriedly
told to rush to town for help.
The insurgent squad that had
been stationed at the mauka end of
Bertelman's house dropped back a
few yards and opened fusillade on
the place, probably supposing that
it contained lot of police.
]. B..Castle and a native police
man became quite alarmed for their
safety. However, by this time the
two had rather become accustomed
to the whistle Of bullets. Mr..
Castle, as Brown had done at first,
asked Bertelmann to have the firing
stopped, Again he said that he
knew nothing about it. The native
policeman, who is certainly dia-
mond in the rough, proceeded to
enlighten Mr.. Bertelmann. Said
this officer, leveling two pistols at
Bertelman, IF man comes in
here, or if Mr.. Castle or myself
gets shot, I will kill you quick. -
Bertelmann was thoroughly scared.
He began calling loudly at once,
and the firing soon ceased.
Alfred Carter came back in a
brake with DR.. VOTERS, who had
only arrived from Kauai in the
morning They left the rig in the
road and started to walk to the
house. They were but fairly within
the yard when several men fired
upon them from a cottage, which
is closer to the beach and Eva Of
the main house. Both dropped tc
the ground quickly. ALT. Garter
raised up enough to fire three shots
back. They were fired upon fur
