tion, and after that began to drink in
an effort to keep from brooding over
the matter.
Yesterday, when he stood on street
corner and fired at the man who had re-
duced him to what he was, he was a
physical and mental wreck.
He returned from kona on the Mauna
Loa, and with the avowed intention of
shooting Driver on sight.
Driver was prepared for him. He Sc
cured long barreled, large-bored navy
revolver, deadly in effect, and carried
it in holster which he wore strapped
over to his left breast.
The Battle
Yesterday morning he was eating
breakfast in the Baltimore Lunch with
a man named o O'Connor, with whom he
had been intimate. Whether or not
McQuaid passed at the time and spied
him there is not known, but the prob.
abilities are that he did so.
a Nuuanu car passed at the time and
Driver ran for it. McQuaid was stand.
ing near Gurrey's, and from the rapid
ity with which he drew his gun and
fred it is apparent that he was wait.
ing for Drivers appearance.
just as Driver jumped to the running
board of the car, McQuaid fred. No
better testimony to the nervous and ex.
cited condition than the erratic and
hasty manner in which he fred at the
man he had been pursuing. His first
bullet passed through the platform of
hn
had run forward to speak to the crew
of the Hotel street car, or he would
have most likely been struck had he
been at his usual post.
One bullet broke the plate glass win
dow of Benson, Smiths drugstore and
another passed through the door and hit
the X spot on the clock. Mr.. Smith
stated yesterday that the clock had
been there thirty years, and nothing
could disturb its regularity, for it con-
tinues to perform its duties, although
it is badly punctured. The glass from
the clock ratified down on a Chinese
clerk aud scared him badly.
Meanwhile Driver on seeing that he
was being fred at rushed through the
car and jumped off on the other side.
, He drew his gun from the holster and
1 passing around the rear of the car look
l ed around for his adversary.
McQuaid, upon emptying his gun, ran
into the Baltimore restaurant and hid
behind a screen. Driver walked hur.
riedly up with his revolver in his hand
and as he reached the door he paused
He looked around the room, where he
had Just finished eating, for mo.
ment and then seeing McQuaid raised
his revolver and fred twice. One bull
. let lodged in the table and the other
: in the breast of his victim.
He turned, thrust the gun back into
: his pocket and started to hurry out. A:
q he passed through the door he buttoneC
: up his coat but had got no further
l, than the sidewalk when the police of
e ficer seized him.
n McQuaid Well Liked.
It The reputation of each of the princi
d pals in yesterdays shooting were di
L rectly the opposite. McQuaid was wei
e liked throughout the group and wa
r widely known. He has many friends il
S, the city who rushed to the hospital yes
e terday as soon as they heard of tn
tragedy but none were admitted to Sc
t. him.
J Driver was not liked by many of hi
l. acquaintances and his general attitud
< throughout this and other matters ha
created a deep rooted prejudice agains
9 him.
Is 1t was stated last night at the hos
10 pital that McQuaid was resting easie
ID and that he had fair chance of recoy
10 cry. The bullet has not yet been local
ID ed and another attempt will probabl
ly be made today to dislodge it.
Drive is also better but from the pre-
ent outlook his wound might be MOI
serious than that of McQuaid IS. III
