Randolph W Cathey, Assistant City Marshal

City of Pauls Valley

About 6:30 P.M. Sunday evening November 3, 1907, Cathey, 30, was shot and killed from ambush as he left the Valley Cafe by Jim Stephenson. Stephenson had openly threatened to kill Cathey since the Marshal had arrested Stephenson’s nephew several months earlier and had to “beat him into submission” when he resisted arrest. Cathey was single at the time.
