When his father showed resistence, Calumet swung him free of the door, dragged him to the center of the room, where he threw him heavily to the floor, falling on top of him and jamming a knee savagely into the pit of his stomach.

Perhaps he had desisted then had not the man struggled and fought back.

His resistence made Calumet more furious.

He pulled one hand free and attempted to secure the pistol, forcing the hand holding it viciously against the floor.

The weapon was again discharged and Calumet became a raging demon.
