Book Title: History Of Contra Costa County, California

   KILLING OF JAMES MILLS.—On Monday, June 18, 1877, a young man named Mills was
fatally stabbed in an affray with P. B. Martin. It would appear that ill-feeling
had existed for some time between the parties, which culminated in a fight on
the day named. Mills died on June 24th, and Martin was arrested, tried, and,
April 20, 1877, found not guilty.
