Having emptied one of his pistols, and intimidated them, the bandit king spoke to his steed.
Siroc turned and went thundering out to the street.
There an exciting scene was going on.
The gang, to cover Jesse's movements, had begun to fire their pistols right and left, and the people in the streets and houses and stores hastily made themselves scarce.
As soon as Jesse emerged, they closed in around him, dug spurs in their animals, and went clattering away.
Jack and Timberlake had been baffled.
They witnessed the daring robbery.
Seeing that it was impossible to get through the lines of the bandits to stop it, Jack signaled his friends.
No response came back.
Fearing trouble for the Terror they rushed away.
