Deputies Muse and Baca discovered them
emerging from the Exchange saloon where they
had been keeping out of sight in the back room.
The deputies started with the prisoners for the
county jail ; they had gone but a short distantce
and when opposite the Broadway hotel Herring
came out of the Broadway restaurant and pull-
ing a pistol from inside his vest would have
killed them both had not the officers stood be-
tween. The cowardly ruffians jumped behind
the officers and begged in terrified tones for
protection. Staples crying out, “O don’t let him
shoot me, don’t let him shoot me.” Muse and
Baca covered Herring with their revolvers and
told him they could not stand to have prisoners
in their charge shot down. He begged them to
move just six inches each and he would get
them both.
