-shooter, a Colt’s 45, leveled it at
the Marshal’s breast. Cantley then pulled his
gun in self protection, when Rodriguez fired
at him point blank; the two men were not more
than four feet apart when the firing began, and
it is a mystery that both of them were not
killed.
An Enterprise reporter was on hand as a
matter of course, having followed Cantley into
the saloon ; he stood outside the bar, within six
feet of the men when the trouble commenced.
He did not wait to draw his note-book to take
items, as he was too busily engaged dodging
bullets. The music of the playful six-shooter
filled the air for several minutes, shots being
exchanged about as lively as it was possible to
pull the trigger. The room was cleared in short
order immediately, no one remaining to see
what was going on but the two principals and
the ubiquitous reporter.
