The Columbus raid was interesting in that the town pretty much turned out armed and took on the raiders.

The raiders also attacked the wrong end of town first. The military detachment was able to get armed and organized (somewhat) and aid in the defense.

The raiders that were killed were placed in a pile with railroad ties and other wood and then burned.
