An Information making thla charga against Hasktn was filed yesterday morn ing by Detective Gallagher. Hasklns' pre liminary healing la set for next Monday morning. Examination of the store building at the corner of Sixteenth atreet and Broadway, behind which the officers took shelter when Hnsklns first opened fire upon them, showed that they had a narrow escape from being seriously If not fatally wounded.

But for the fact that one of the sheila became lammed in Hasklns' gun, the officers said yesterday, they did not like to think of what the termination of the duel might have been. The trouble. It seems, started over a dog owned by John Bridget, a neighbor of Has klns. Last Tuesday Hasklns filed 'an In formation agalnat Bridget for keeping an alleged vicious dog. Nothing having been done In the meantime In the matter, Has klns. who is said to have been drinking, armed himself Thursday night with his shotgun and proceeded to the Bridget resi dence where he called to the family to come outside and he woul kill every one of them. Bridget slipped o t of the house by the back door and hastened to police headquarters, where he filed an Informa tion against Hasklns.
