DUBLIN, Aug. 23 (United Press).—Fighting at the head of his staff officers against Irish rebels who ambushed his car on the road from Bandon to Macroom late yesterday, Michae! Collins, Ireland's leader, fell mortally wounded at the moment of victory. As he died the rebels were beaten off. For palf an hour, against overwhelming odds, the fiery leader of the Free State and seven staff officers who were in his party fought off their assailants. At least three of the rebels were wounded. They were heing’ slowly driven back, and it seemed that Collins, hero of a hundred escapes. ad once more come through, when a rebe! bullet struck him, and he fell, dying almost instantly. As he lay dying in the dust, his smoking revolver still clutched in his hand, Collins raised his head and murmured forgive them. These were his last words. Gen. Dalton of the Free State Army, a former Boston boy, who served in the British Army and was cited for conspicuous gallantry during the World War, was wounded trying to defend his chief. Dalton, who was in command of Free State troops in the Cork area, was with Collins in the «rr. An armed guard accompanied them from Bandon, en route from Macroom. Capt. Montgomery and Commander Dolan of Mountjoy Prison were in’ tae party. They had just reached a bleak spot near Bandon, and close to Bellan- black about 7.30 o'clock, AMBUSH AT TURN OF ROAD. A large party of rebels lay in wait for the car at a turn of the road Fierce fire raked the party from both sides. Collins and Dalton were in- stantly on their feet, revolvers in hand, replying to the fire from hidden assailants. The fighting lasted half an hour. Collins, urging on his staff officers and guard, fought with superb courage, exposing himself constantly to the insurgent bullets. The Free State party was driving off the attackers when a bullet from an uniden- tified rebel lodged in Collins's body. As their leader fell, fire of the Free State party slackened and the rebels pressed their advantag Two of the defenders were wounded, one critically. Finally the Free State party drove the rebels away and took the body of their chief to Cork, where it was put on a steamer for Dublin. The doctors found that Collins had been struck behind the ear, the bullet penetrating the bratn. He lived but a few minutes, Perplexity and bewilderment were mixed with Ireland's sorrow. The country scarcely knew where to turn for leadership, When Arthur Griffith fell dead, but ten days ago, Ireland looked to Collins, He was the last out~ tanding figure of tae Free State. Collins was urged to protect himself, the rebels having plotted his death for some time. But ickey,” as in the war against England in which he played such a prominent part, insisted upon going to the head of his troops, ‘The ambush, crowning strok eof a campaign of terrorism, cost the coun- try the Ife of the man upon whom it had pinned its highest hopes. Tae Dail Eireann bas been summoned to meet on Saturday, it was an- nounced to-day to take action on the killing of Collins TRIUMVIRATE TO BE IN CONTROL. Meanwhile, triumvirate will succeed Collins as the head of the Irish Free State, Death that claimed Ireland's two greatest leaders, Griffith and Collins, within ten days, left no single outstanding figure Liam T. Cosgraye, Chatrman of the Provisional Government Cabinet, may rise to be Collins's successor, or it may be dashing “Dick” Mulcahy, Commander in Chief of the Free State Army, George Gavan Duffy, former enyoy, is the third outstanding figure For the ti being, it was learned, these three will head the Free State Government. Noue of them is comparable to Collins, who, especially after the death of Griffith, due to heart trouble, last Saturday, stood out head and shoulders above all Ireland Unless a strong man arises quickly 1t was freely predicted that the Free State may collapse because of activities of the rebels under De Valera, which would again bring {nvading forces of British to Ireland and cause 1 renewal of centuries old conflict. Collins in recent months was known aa the "Lincoln of Brin.” He had been largely instrumental in inducing his people to accept the Free Stase © 4 * x —.. = 44 Ooms — << 2." ~ ee nea em ee a ene nn a eae EE
