THE MAN KILLED NEAR BoDIE.
Probably Shot by Drew, Of this city-Wai
Robbery Prearranged7
1t is understood that the young man named
Drew, who shot and killed his travelling com
panion near Bodie, as stated in dispatch
published yesterday. is the engineer at the
Sacramento County Hospital. and nephew
of NJ. M. Drew, who is now over in the
Bodie section. It is stated that the man who
was killed was one who came to the hospital
some time since for treatment, and while
there represented to engineer Drew that be
knew where certain valuable treasures or
mines could be found in the region of the
summit of the Sierras that if he could go
there he could locate them, and making other
similar representations that recently young
Drew concluded to take team and, as a
matter of recreation and examination drive
to the region referred to, and his uncle, M.
NJ. Drew, aided him in arranging his out
fit and means for the trip. His
uncle insisted that he should take at least
two men with him, but young Drew pre-
ferred to take only one, and that one was
George (by which name he was known at the
hospital). who claimed to be possessed of
knowledge of the treasure. Drew procured
man to take his place as engineer at the
hospital during his absence, and few days
since left upon his trip, having about $500 in
money, and accompanied by George. Drew
is a young man of good character and correct
habits, and as the dispatch says, Drew
states that the deceased made an unprovoked
and incomprehensible attempt to shoot him
with revolver, whereupon he shot his COM
panion to save his own life" it is quite prob
able that the deceased, who was stranger
here, and of the adventurous class, may have
put up the entire matter for the purpose of
eventually robbing Drew, which he seems to
have been attempting when he was shot and
killed by Drew in seif-defense.
