Bruno Asatu was stabbed to death
at Melones last Tuesday evening with
a miners candlestick, IN the hands of
his brother in law, Albino Casillas
There had been bad blood existing
between the two men tor some time
past, and there had been a number of
quarrels between them. On Tuesday
evening they met in saloon, had a
drink together and adjourned to a
bath room and began to quarrel. 1t is
said Asato knocked Casillas down
and the latter drew the candlestick
and began stabbing. People in the
saloon heard the men quarreling but
did not interfere, thinking it nothing
but a family row. The murderer then
left the saloon and went to his home
and told his wife, and then made pre-
parations for his flight. He is said to
have remained about Melones for
more than an hour, but no attempt
was made to apprehend him. Both
men have been working at Melones
for about four years and both married
sisters, the Misses Morales. The
murdered man was about % years of
age, and was not considered of a
quarrelsome nature.

1t is said that the men who dynamit
ed James V. CoIeman's mine in Gala :
veras county to get revenge, unwittlng-
ly played good joke on themselves,
for they uncovered great deal of
wealth for Coleman. In repairing the
damage it has been found that the
ledge in the mine is much wider and
richer than was supposed. The Utica
mine, which adjoins Mr.. Coleman S
property, made the Hobart family
rich. 1t has been one of the best pay
ing mines in California. 1t is thought
likely that Mr.. Coleman's property
will prove even more valuable. The
Angels papers have not heard of this
lucky uncovering of wealth so it may
be set down as myth.
