Sacramento Daily Union, January 8, 1879
“Homicide in Colusa County. 

Willows, January 7th.— An altercation took place here in a saloon last night 
[January 6] between R[obert] B[urns] Magness and J. W. Morrow. In the scuffle 
Morrow drew his revolver and shot Magness in the leg. Magness ran out of the 
saloon, Morrow following closely and firing several shots, one of which took 
effect, the ball entering the heart, causing instant death. A Coroner's jury 
was summoned to-day, which returned a verdict in accordance with the above 
facts. Morrow was committed to jail, to await his examination on the 16th 
instant.” END  [Same article appeared in the Daily Alta California on the same 
day.] 


Additional Comments:
Sacramento Daily Union, January 8, 1879 (Wednesday), Page 3, Column 3.  [Note 
that Robert B. Magness appears in the Napa County death records, so contrary to 
the above article, he may have died in Napa County but at least his death was 
recorded there.  He was buried in the Tulocay Cemetery, Napa, with other 
Magness family members.]
