AEhere were five MARROW brothers. According TO
their story, the big cattlemen ran" on, them
because they stood up for their rights. The
other side said bluntly that they were horse
thieves and bad men.
The Marlows were of restless temperament
and shifted headquarters freely. They spent 3
good deal of time in the Indian Territory, then
a resort for the widest and most lawless char
acters, moving to and fro in the ChickaSaw Ma
ton and the territory adjoining it. This was
convenient terrain for those ION the dodge
It was wild and rough and the Texas ranger
could not interfere with the habits of the night
riders.
The Marlows were married. Sometimes their
families moved with them. Sometimes they
followed the men in more leisurely fashion to
new fields From Wilbarger County, Texas, they
trekked to Las Animas Colorado. One of the
brothers, Boone, had been too handy with a
sixshooter and James Holdson had a result
been buried. The family held to strong clan
feeling Their covered wagons followed Boone
North.
Whether they were honest men as they
claimed or thieves as their enemies charged,
the Marlows were unlucky. They left Trinidad
under cloud. From DOC" Burns, sheriff OF
Las Animas County wire went to Edward w.
johnson, a deputy United States marshal OF
Texas The telegram advised him to look out
for five NARROW brothers trying to get away with
40 head of horses stolen in the vicinity. 1t IS
only fair to the Marlows to say that they were
never proved guilty of rustling horses, though
they were arrested time and again.
Johnson, big. raw-boned Westerner, acted
with energy. He guessed that the Marlows
would make for the Nation" to trade the herd
of broncos to the Indians. He wrote letters,
received answers, headed north found and ar
rested the Marlows, took them to Graham. The
mother of the five boys gave bond and they
were released until the time of trial.
i capias came from Wilbarger County for the
arrest of Boone for the murder Of Holdson.
Sheriff Wallace and a deputy rode out to the
place the Marlows were renting. Boone killed
the sheriff. Once more he slapped saddle on
q horse and rode into the chaparral. reward
of 81 700 was offered for his arrest dead or
alive His brothers were flung into prison.
Wallace had been a popular officer and public
opinion was inflamed. The Marlows had few
friends at Graham. They believed that Johnson
had been appointed TO represent the larger cat
tie interests, that the new sheriff and the law

Macklin paused, exhausted by the effort OF
speech The cluttered studio was silent save
for the breathing of two men.
Bremsted's huge bulk shifted as he tried to
ease his discomfort on the floor, and he strained
the rope which bound him to the table. Mack

For a moment neither man spoke.
Bremsted was clearly thinking, rally1ng his
bewiidered brain to one last stand in his de-

up. The evidence Of his crime was indisputable.
But justification, perhaps?
There seemed one possible avenue Of escape.
Sweat stood out on his brow as he wrenched
himself to partial sitting position, his eyes on
the muzzle of Macklin's revolver. He swallowed
once or twice, wet his lips with his tongue,

Stafford County and Overwharton Parish,
named for the corresponding ones in England,
originated in 1866 out of Westmoreland County,
and extended to the Blue Ridge Mountains,
being the frontier county reaching from the
Potomac River and stretching north and
west. It embraced the present counties of
Prince william, Loudoun, Fairfax, Arlington
and part OF Fauquier. It was first represented
in the House of Burgesses by Col Henry Mees.
June, 1866, who was allowed $50 pounds Of
tobacco and caSk each day for travelling ex-
penses, four days being required for the trip,
which can now be made in less than four
hours.
The first court house was built at Marlboro
Point, where Pocahontas is said to have been
purchased by Capt Argon Of jamestown for
copper kettle and some beads but in 1888 it
was removed to its present site. Many Of the
county records have been preserved: several
taken away by the soldiers during the war be-
tween the States have been returned-one, dat
ing back to 1867, quite recently.

namely, the Revolutionary War, the War Of
