Captain Stout, Grant County Road Agent
Captain Stout appears to have been among the road agents who frequented Mowry City, a favorite resort for those who captured silver bullion from stage coaches [3]. While traveling through Cook's Canyon, Judge Mullen recognized Stout among a group of Silver City acquaintances [3]. The captain did not disturb the buck-board or its passengers on that occasion, but he might have done so [1][2]. Stout was afterwards identified in Arizona as a famous road agent and was sent to the Yuma penitentiary [1][2].
