drew a revolver, Colts 3S, and rushing into
the crowd, put the pistol to his fathers
head. Bibel instinctively lodged, and the
ball knocked off his hat, the powder burn
ing his forehead and the top of his head in
to black blister Bibel, Sr., then clinched
with his son and forced him half down.
The boy cooked the pistol and fired a
second shot, which passed between his fa-
theirs side and arm. In the meantime,
another son, Charlie, aged fourteen, had
jumped in and kicked his father twice. By
