Ellis Braddock frowned as the bar erupted in violence.  He wanted nothing to do with such a pointless scuffle.  Turning around, he walked back out the door he had just entered.  He stood out front and waited for things to calm down.  He tipped his hat to a lady that was talking to a Chinese man.  It seemed odd to him but he didn't think much of it.  He hadn't quite formulated an opinion of the Chinese.  They seemed industrious enough, but he hadn't had much exposure.  Ellis finally stomped out the nub of a cigar he had been smoking.  He pulled out another one and lit it with a match.  He didn't bother to offer some cigars to the Chinese man as they never seemed to smoke tobacco.  The thought of selling cigars to the lady obviously never occurred to his mind.
