few minutes after their arrival Depu-
ty Marshal Brown and squad
OF police under Captain Parker left for the
beach at Waikiki, with orders to search the

previous to reaching the place the posse was
joined by Charles L. Carter, Alfred Carter
and J. B. Castle, who lived near by, all men,

On approaching the house the Deputy
Marshallleft the squad on the lawn while he
entered the house, and, finding Bertlemann
and strange white man there, proceeded to
read hts warrant. When halt way through
shots were heard from the rear Of the house.
The officers asked quickly: What does
that mean?" Bertlemann replied "Iknow
nothing about it : there arc no arms here"
Brown rushed out to join his squad just
as Charles Carter shouted "There they
are, under the boatshed," pointing to shed

by a crowd of natives under the shed, and
Charles Carter and Lieutenant Hon fell

on the beach, when the latter retreated to
the brush, keeping up desultory firing. AS
the police only numbered eight and there

IMMENSE FORGERIEs.
Quigley Cashed Worthless Bonds In
New York City.

Quigley Cashed Worthless Bonds In
New York City.
Edwin o. Quigley, senior member of
Quigley Il Tuttle, a boni brokerage firm,
with offices at No. 6 Wall street, New York
City, was arrested for forgery in having
secured s144,O0O from the Mercantile
National Bank. Broadway and Dey street.
by means of counterfeit bonds.
He confessed the entire transaction, and
within an hour after he was arrested he was
indicted by the Grand Jury, arraigned in the
Court Of General Sessions. where he pleaded
guilty, and was renamed by Recorder Gof
for sentence. Then he was locked up in the
Tombs.
The magnitude of Quigley's operations,
the boldness with which they were carried
on, the novel method employed aud his own
confession that he was driven to fraud by
heavy losses in Wall street. all led to the
belief that the transactions discovered were
but part Of a gigantic scheme of which many
banks in New York and in New England
were to be the victims. 1t may be that he
cutclassed Seely. 1t was said that banks In
Newark, N j., and New Haven and Bridge
port Conn, had been victimized.
Broker Quigley's plan may be briefly
stated. His IN was one which stood high
In the estimation OF the street, and was
favored customer the Mercantile National
Bank. Quigley, acting for his firm, pre-
sented at the bank city and municipal bonds
aggregating 5160, 900, and purporting to have
been issued by the cities OF Cleveland OHIO,
and Harrisburg, Penn. On these he securet
s144, 200. Not one OF the bonds was genuine.
The bank attached all OF the forger's prop
erty, and its President said that its loss
would be slight In proportion to the amoun'
fny0lved.

captured in the melee. during which some
sixty shots were fired. Taking the wounded
men in and first caring for them as we'll as
possible, they searched the prisoners, plac-
ing Bertiemann under arrest. The first
prisoner was recognized as John Lane. Ea
had heavy revolver, belt of cartridges and
rifle the second pocket pistol and belt OF
cartridges. The other was unarmed, but q
short rife was found behind the door which
evidently belonged to him. HOn says he
was the man who shot him. There Is no
doubt that Cart er's three wounds came from
Lanes pistol, it having three empty cham
bers.
By this time the rebels resainod their
courage and surrounded the house, firing
into it repeatedly. Leaving one man to
guard the prisoners, the officers returned
the fire, but without effect, as their assail-
ants could not be seen.
Realizing that their case was desperate,
and that word must be got to town at all
hazards, it was resolved that Brown and
Parker should make dash for their horses,
which were tied near the house. This was
done with success, and they were soon at
the nearest telephone. Alfred Carter, who
had been missing since the wounding of his
cousin. was supposed to be dead, but in
reality had escaped with the same idea and
for the purpose of getting a doctor for his
cousin. He had already teiephoned to the
Marshal's Office, besides finding a doctor,
with whom he returned to the scene of the
HgQt alOQe. OQ tuo gate tuey
were met with a yoley. Dropping to the
ground. Carter returned three shots, but,
realizing the impossibility of getting into
the house unhurt, he and the doctor re
treated. About this time the natives were
advancing on the house 20 take it by storm
when one OF the officers told Bertlemann he
would blow his brains out on the instant
the first man went inside the house and
hurt any one. Bertlemann called to the
natives outside and thy withdrew.
Within two minutes after receiving the
telephone account of the fight detail OF
thirty-wo men from the regulars stationed
at the Government building was ordered
out. The command was given to Lieutenant
King, who led the expedition against
the leper outlaw, Koulon, some
months ago. Volunteers were called for,
and nearly every man in the barracks
stepped to the front. Within on minutes
the detail was on the way as fast rs horses

being about four miles. AS soon as they

RAN AWAY TO DEATH.
Boys Found Dead Where They Fell
in the Woods

William Fit. Thomas Buck and Joseph
Erminer, each about fourteen years Of age,
ran away from ST. Vincent's Industrial
School, Utica, N. Y, few days ago. No
trace Of them could be secured until the bod
les of Buck an Erniner were found in the
woois near Herkimer. They had been
frozen to death.
Pitt was found in q barn near by so badly
frozen that his legs will have to be amputat
ed. Pitt and Erminer were sent from New
York and Bucks parents reside at Utica.
Pitt says he and his companions wandered
about the woods.
They walked until Buck and Erminer
sank down from exhaustion in the spot
where their dead bodies were found. Pitt
told his two companions to count their
beads and say their prayers, and 1t is evil
dent that they were thus engaged when death
claimed them. Pitt took off his coat
and placed 1t over the two unfortunates as
they lay on the ground, but they told him to
put it on or he would freeze to death him
self.
Pitt says he remained with his companions
until their hearts ceased to beat, and he
knew they were dead. Then he started on
seeking shelter for himself.
