in

Hoy
had

for

and
when

had
successfully

on
Hie
north
side
of

Cannery.
Hruin
was

lop
ing
comfortably
alongside
of

Fearing
that
be
cause
of

the

tangled
In

and

Hoy
speeded
up
in

but
the

determined
not

by

replied:
"Who

Collins'
answer
was
that
he
was
a
policeman.
I
don't
care
who
you
are.
It
is
you
or

for
it,"
was
the
retort
of
Macdonald
who,
there-'

then
got
to
his

again
and
Mac

said
"I've

now.'
Attemptod

MacDonald,
it
is

was
about
to
pull
(he
trigger
of
t
lie
gun
and
gel
the-
weapon
into

but
tho
safety
being
on
prevented
this.
Collins
then
went
for
Macdonald
again
and
the
latter
threw

away.
The
olllcer
went
down
again
when
MacDonald
re
newed

By

time,

and
they

while

proceeded
to

in
