Indian squaw living with the family,
which seems to have been resented by
her people. At all events, one day a
party of warriors appeared at the
cabin. The squaw, who was in the
woods at the time, escaped, but when
the enraged Indians left nothing re-
manned of the Malott family but their
scalped bodies stretched on the cabin
floor. Days after some of the Friends
from down the Yough came and buried
the victims near spring in the rear
of the Willoughby Harrison brick
house, where the Malott cabin stood.
The Armstrong;
William Armstrong, the first perm
anent settler at Yough Glades, was
only fourteen years old when he was
commissioned ensign in Captain Brat
tons company, the Seventh Pennsy.-
vania Regiment of the Continental
Line. At the close of the Revolu-
tionary war he went to Clarksburg and
clerked in Peter Devecmon's store. In
1900 he married Hannah Devecmon,
widow of his employer, and was the
first postmaster at Yough Giades that
served wide area for many years.
In 1874 Thomas Haddon Armstrong
married Maria Hoye. They resided on
the Veronica the Nun" tract, now the
John T. Mitchell farm. In 1857 they
| sold out and made the six weeks trip,
by wagon, to Iowa, and later to Knox
county, Missouri. John Maxwell Arm
strong married Anne Townshend.
The history of the Armstrong clan
is long and stormy. Siward-the arm
stronghold of Northumberland, first
of the name, was the last of the great
Anglo-Danisn earis and had royal
blood in his veins. Under Edward the
Conf ssor, Siward, as one of the
chiefs, went into Scotland where he
killed Macbeth in battle and restored
Malcolm to the throne of his ances-
tors. In the play of Macbeth his son is
called Young Siward, who was slain
by Macbeth in the battle of Dunsin-
more. Siward's second son succeeded
to the earldom and his daughter mar
ried King David the First of Scotland.

tar SCOTS "Minstrelsy of the Scottish
Border" the Armstrong; play an i'm
portant part-their deeds of daring
are the theme of many song and
story.
Thomas Armstrong, fifth lord of
Maingertown, in the fifteenth century
had four sons, one of whom, John of
Gilnockie, was ancestor of the Arm
strongs. Edward Armstrong was
known as Edward from the Border
and his wife, Elizabeth, was called
Princess of the Great House OF
Mcguire. They had three sons, John
and Francis, who emigrated to Penn
sylvania, and James, who succeeded

had two sons, Maxwell and William.
James Armstrong died in 1852 and his
widow married Thomas Haddon. Will
liam grew up in his stepfather's home
in the Shenandoah Valley. This Viii
liam was the pioneer settler at "Yough
Glades" in 1906.

At a more important phase of bat

covered themselves with no great
amount of glory. The Griffs were
only fifth best at driving across runs,
topping only Philadelphia, Boston and
st. Louis.
The Yanks, driving across 995. not
only led the league but by the same
token set new major league record
