The description of the interior of the houses shows that the people running are people who worked on the ranch or who lived in the region.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- The narrator shows that the interior of the houses on the ranch was empty. All the people had left or were taking shelter elsewhere for fear of being hit by the plague.
- Everyone was very apprehensive, not only for the plague, but for the infected people who became very violent and dangerous.
- At the end of the story, it is possible to see why the interior of the houses was empty, as all the people who live nearby or on the ranch are running away from people infected by the plague.
