He got here all right and on time and then on through town down the railroad to rest and enjoy a lunch under the trees. He was a tall man. dressed in black, with a plug hat and looked much like a preacher, which he proved to be. He also very much resembled the nictures sent out of Lawless. After his icsl lie resumed his journey north on the railroad track carrying two valUes. Marshal Nunii made a detour on the county load and headed him off at the home of Mr. King, covered him with his gun awl ordered his hands thrown up, nearly scaring the poor man into fits.
