Ration, n. M, July 24.-District At
torney Leahy returned to the city this
morning from Clayton. where yester-
day he appeared in the case of the
territory versus L. ID. Bolton, charged
with shooting and killing Carl Gilg
a wealthy wool grower of that place
on Friday, July 13. The hearing was
held bofere Justice John Springer, and
at the close of the hearing Bolton
was held to the next grand Jury with
out bonds, and was remanded to the
county Jail at Clayton. Bolton has
suffered much since the shooting. and
Is but the shadow of his former self
There Is some doubts as to whether
he will ever be tried as it is feared
he will die before justice overtak rs
him. For the last few days the man
has refused to eat anything, and
whether 1t is owing to his i'll health
or whether he is attempting to starve
himself to death, the officers do not
know. Bolton has grown exceedingly
weak and is unable to rise from his
couch, 1t is believed that his actions
are caused by insanity His attorneys
Will apply for change of venue.
There were some fourteen witnesses
in the case, eight for the territory
and six for the defense. Several Of the
witnesses for the territory told the same
story 1t was to the effect that Bolton
came down the street with a gun In
his hand. He fired some shots nj
George Hobson, with whom he had
previously had a fight Hobson ran
into a soloon and evaded Bolton, and
when Bolton saw that his man had
fled he turned the gun on Gilg and
shot him, saying as he did so, well
[ got one of the -, ANYWAY.
Bolton did not go on the stand in his
| own behalf, and received the decision
of the justice very stoically. John Pace
and w. j. Eaton, two attorneys OF
Clayton. defended him, and the stories
told by the witnesses for the defense
were to the effect that Bolton shot
Gig by accident, but none of them
were very close to the two men when
the shooting took place, they were moi
close enough to see very distinctly or
to hear anything that Bolton might
have said. While the killing is said tC
have been a deliberate one, there is
no real motive that can be found for
the shooting, and it is believed that
Bolton was either insane or that he be-
| came an enemy of the owners of cat
tie and focks of sheep on account OF
their holding the land which he was
settling up with eastern ranchers
Bolton will now be forced to stand
trial for murder In the first degree
for which the penalty Is death. VThe
district attorney believes that he has
an excellent case against the man
Hobson will be held as a witness in
| the case.
