in the employ of the company at Tucson,
Ariz., entered the building at the hour
stated and, stepping into the elevator,
went to the fourth floor, whore Superin-
tendent Fillmore's office is located. At
the door of the elevator he met an old
acquaintance in Detective George Gard,
who accosted him with some suspicion
and asked to ascertain his business in the
building.
Collins attempted to 60 into Superin-
tendent Fillmore's office, but Gard re-
strained him. The detective succeeded in
dragging Collins to the third floor. Here
assistance was secured and Collins was
promptly hustled out Of the building.
"pll kill him yetp' shouted Collins, eX-
citedly.
Detective Gard accompanied Collins up
Market street and told him to cease visit

ployment until several weeks ago, when

He went to Los Angeles and sought Mr..
Huntington, to whom he repeated his de-
nland with many threats.
He appeared here last Tuesday, and
since then he has visited the railroad
building daily. Detective Gard has
watched him closely, but did not really
believe the follow was serious in his
threats until to-day.
Superintendent Fillmore says he never
heard OF Collins, but he had been in
formed that that individual was seeking
his life. II paid no attention to the mat

cranks of that character who come here
every day that do not notice them."
