When Bruce got all the way up--he's a tall fellar--why Isbel took a full swing at him an' knocked him back across the room ag'in' the counter.

Y'u know when a fellar's hurt by the way he yells.

Bruce got thet second smash right on his big red nose....

I never seen any one so quick as Isbel.

He vaulted over thet counter jest the second Bruce fell back on it, an' then, with Greaves's gang in front so he could catch any moves of theirs, he jest slugged Bruce right an' left, an' banged his head on the counter.
