Sykes fired as rapidly as possible, and
soon four of the regulators were down
and the others fed in terror. Sykes
continued to fire at the fugitives as
long as they were in range and is con-
1ident six others were wounded.
Sykes then tore the masks from the
four men who had fallen and found

wounded person in nearly every house.
Sykes says he has done nothing to be
"regulated' for and proposes to remain
in the neighborhood if he has to kill
every man in it.
