THE MARLIN DEMOCRAT
Eighteenth Year - Number 36
Marlin, Texas, Wednesday, September 25, 1907
-----
Bad Negro on the Warpath.
-----

       John Stuart, a well known negro, of powerful build, went on the warpath Saturday afternoon in the vicinity of Peacock's saloon.
       He cursed and otherwise abused a white youth from the country.  He asservated that he was impregnable to any officer and exhibited his utter contempt for the laws generally.
       City Marshall Stallworth appeared on the scene and arrested him, not without the necessity of reducing his walking stick to kindling wood in a successful effort to reduce the negro to a state of submission.
