June 1900 Shooting Affray At Clay Results in the Death of a Business Man Not Involved In the Fight Dixon, Ky., Jun 24 In a shooting affray between Jack Raybourn and John McGill, at Clay, A.N. Skinner was killed by a shot fired by Raybourn. Skinner was one of the most prominent business men of Clay and was a member of the Knights of Pythias and Masonic lodges. The trouble came about by McGill and Raybour wrestling in the morning, both being intoxicated. They got into a general fight and Raybourn bit a piece out of McGill's neck. Both men armed themselves and Raybourn went to Skinner's livery stable, where McGill was employed, and opened fire on him. The first shot struck Skinner in the head from which he died in about two hours. Skinner was putting some harness on a horse at the time, and had a collar and bridle on his arm when killed. The horse was hit twice. Neither of the men shooting was hit. An attempt was made to arrest Raybourn by a citizen, but being a powerful man, he fought his way out of the stable and made his escape. McGillw as arrested and placed under bond. A posse is after Raybourn and he will probably be arrested tonight. Betty Sellers
