Bank Cashier Shot in Marbleton After Marriage Jest
Dan B. Crafton, a 44 year old Marbleton cashier, was shot by Charley Toley, his friend and fellow banker, during a confrontation at the Marbleton Bar. The incident followed Crafton’s secret marriage to Kathryn Hoyt and threats as hotel guests mocked the couple. Toley was wounded in the abdomen. Crafton faced no clear prosecution vows as doctors rushed to treat both men and arrange transport to Kemmerer. Crafton, a longtime resident, had previously lived in Lander and Pike areas and was well regarded in western Wyoming.
