The bartender stepped into an anjoining room for his pistol, and all the oth- er whites save Demon made a run to getaway. Demon, although being almost a total stranger in the town, was nervy, and refused to obey the command to depart. Instead he pulled his revolver and ina twinkling he had shot three of the negroes to death, and the others were falling over themselves to get away.
