Summary: |
Policeman Slaton was shot and killed as he and another officer attempted to arrest a man for carrying a pistol. The suspect, and an acquaintance, had agreed to leave town because they were both drunk. After riding a short distance they both turned around and returned to a hitching post.
Upon learning that the men returned, and that one of them was armed, Policeman Slaton and the other officer went to the hitching post to arrest them.
