| 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-
element had subsidized the bleeding
I form of a bulky addressed man, bound
hand and foot was removed from the
little cottage on the Waikiki-makai cor
ner and lifted into the police patrol
wagon and taken to the Queens Hos
pital. Another man holding a handker-
chief to flowing wounds upon his head,
/ left the house at the same time and
! 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 q
/ Co., both being badly wounded. Collins
/ had received three bullet wounds IN MS
abdomen inflicted by Henry Glass in
! self-defense. Glass had received two
dangerous wounds on the left side OF
! his head, these being inflicted by
| Ratchet welded by John Collins with
maniacal fury.
| The story of the search for Collins on
! Friday night was told in yesterdays
Advertiser lust where the man spent
/ the night is not certain, but about 4;30
a. m, Collins appeared at the Maklkl
| 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 hatchet with him and Foster was
told it was used to cut wood. Mr.. Mark
ham, the ice-man, was in the kitchen at
| the same time. Suddenly Collins lung
ed forward and struck Foster a heavy
blow with the Ratchet on the left side
| of the head, cleaving the bone from the
| eye to a 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
consciousness crawled to the main fire
house and a physician was summoned

pital
Collins evidently ran down to Bere-
tania street and made his way direct
| to the cottage at the corner of Piiko1
and Beretania 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
| leaped out of bed, caught up a big 3S-
! caliber revolver, and not seeing any one
I in the room stepped out on the porch
and fired a shot. He then walked
around to the front porch and entered
I the parlor. As he did so he saw burly
man with a Ratchet in hand coming
! toward him from the dining room.
/ David Glass encountered the man In
stantly and struck him in the face with
| his fist. The intruder gave him blow
| with the fiat of the Ratchet on the head.
| Henry Glass seeing his brothers dan
ger. fired point blank at Collins strik-
| ing him in the pit of the stomach Be
fore Glass could pull the trigger sec
ond time he was struck a fearful blow
| on the top of the head with the Ratchet.
He shot again, the bullet striking the
mans stomach, and received another
Ratchet blow. A third shot was an
swered by a second Ratchet stroke over
Glass left temple. David then closed
/ in and grappled the intruder by the
throat Henry fired once more and the
Ratchet fell from Collins hand He
| then struck the prowler on the nose
with the butt of the gun, breaking that
member.
Both men, wounded as they were.
