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.
