Sandy McCorkle, foreman of the Key, met
with an accident last week which came near
depriving him of his right hand. A rock weigh-
ing three or four hundred pounds fell, mashing
his hand as flat as the proverbial pancake. No
bones were broken, but it will be some time be-
fore Sandy will be able to do a day’s work.
Clayton To Die
Nearly all of the people of this county
know Clayton, who several years ago made a
race from this city to Doming with a horse vs.
bicycle. About a year ago Clayton, with his
partner. Doc. Bolton, killed S. H. Cavitt, in
Juarez, Mexico. Bolton subsequently made his
escape, Clayton refusing to leave the prison.
Clayton was tried and convicted and appealed
to the higher court at Chihuahua. The higher
court has now confirmed the sentence and he
will soon be shot. Bolton’s whereabouts at the
present time is not known, but only a few weeks
ago was in Grant county.
