stand out particularly. One is the
fight between the tough and the good
elements of the town, which results in
the temporary victory of the evil
forces.
They signalize their triumph by
burning down the church. But the
evil doers had not reckoned with
Blaze Tracy (Wm. S. Hart). He kills
Silk Miller, the crafty and treacherous
saloon and gamblinghouse keeper,
and stands off whole room full of
desperate men while he shoots the
wires in two by which the lamps are
suspended.

are scenes of disorder and excitement
as the flames of destruction sweep
over the whole town
