(From Sundays DailyD


Revolver shots, screams of women for
help and sounds of men struggling
awoke the residents in the vicinity of
Beretania and Piikoi about o'clock
yesterday morning and when the ex-
citement had subsidized the bleeding
form of a bulky addressed man, bound
hand and foot was removed from the
little cottage on the Waikiki-makai cor
wagon and taken to the Queens Hos
pital. Another man holding a handker-
| chief to flowing wounds upon his headj
| left the house at the same time ana
sought a physician. The man taken to
the hospital was John Collins, the
lunatic for whom the police had been
searching all night, and the latter was
Henry Glass, an employee of Davies *
CO., both being badly wounded. Collins
had received three bullet wounds in his
abdomen inflicted bv Henry Glass in
self-defense. Glass had received two
dangerous wounds on the left side of
his head, these being inflicted by a
Ratchet welded by John Collins with
maniacal fury
The story of the search for Collins on
Friday night was told in yesterdays
Advertiser. .HSt where tne man spent
the night is rot certain, but about 4:3O
a. M, Collins appeared al the Makiki
Fire Station where he had once been
employed, and in the kitchen found Ben
Foster, a hoseman, who was preparing
the early morning coffee for the men,
and asked for cup of coffee. He had
a Ratchet with him and Foster was
| told ii was used to cut wood. Mr.. Mark
ham, the ice-man, was in the kitchen at
the same time. Suddenly Collins lung
ed forward end struck Foster a heavy
| blow with the Ratchet on the left side
of the head, cleaving the bone from the
eye to point just above the ear and
exposing the eye-ball. Foster fell to
the floor, and being unarmed, Markham
fled with Collins in pursuit. Both made
! a circuit of the wagon outside and
| Markham then ran for Charles Cranes
residence, from which place the Police
Station was called up and the patrol
wagon called for Foster on recovering
I consciousness crawled to the main fire
| house and a physician was summoned.
| The man was sent to the Queen Hos
pital.

tania street and made his way direct
to the cottage at I've corner of Piikoi
and Beretanla streets occupied by
Henry and David Glass, their aunt and
sister The first intimation they had
was when a pane Of glass in the front
French window was shivered. Henry
