Lake warned him to keep off, but Allen had his fighting blood up and continued to attack him. After the cage had been hoisted, the two men fought, rolling on the floor of the engine bouse.

Allen, a powerful man, had the best of the battle, and when he returned to the attacn and was driving Lake against the wall, threat ening to kill him, Lake drew a revolv er and fired at his antagonist.
