WILL BE SHOT A late El Paso telegram states that Bob Clayton, who, in company with Dr. W. S. Bolton, shot and killed J. W. Cavitt, in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, about a year ago, has been sentenced to be shot. His lawyers immediately appealed the case to the supreme court of the state of Chihuahua and he will be taken to that city at once for trial before that tribunal. If the sen- tence is approved, he will be sent back to Ciudad Juarez for execution. Cavitt, Clayton and Bolton were all cattlemen and a misunder- standing about a big deal in Mexico caused the shooting; Doc Bolton, who was in jail awaiting sentence for the killing, escaped several months ago, and is now somewhere in the United States.
