Book Title: History Of Contra Costa County, California

   MURDER OF A MAN, NAME UNKNOWN.—A stranger, dressed in working clothes,
arrived at San Pablo on the night of Tuesday, August 4, 1863, and after eating
supper at the hotel, took his blanket and proceeded a short distance up the
road, when he turned off into a wheat-field, spread his bedding and lay down. On
the following morning he was found there quite dead, with a wound in the temple,
apparently caused by a blow from a heavy instrument. The body was yet warm when
discovered.
