Shortly after midnight, following the riot in the courthouse square, what do five teams of the KKK do?

Shortly after midnight, following the courthouse square riot, five teams of Ku Klux Klansmen in pickups carry nine-foot, kerosene-drenched, wooden crosses to twenty locations throughout Ford County. At all but one residence they are able to leave a cross burning. At the twentieth residence, Luther Picket's, he hears a noise and shoots at them, spraying their truck with shotgun pellets. Subsequently, twenty residents receive a phone call to look out in their yards.
