Killing of JOHN B. SEE.---On Wednesday, May 1, 1872, at 4 P. M., at Monticello,
Berryessa Valley, John B. See was killed under the following circumstances: The
See brothers, three in number, were standing in the street at Monticello, when
Le Grande Thompson passed by. Some hard words passed between them, growing out
of an old feud, when they agreed to fight it out there and then. Thompson and
John B. See clinched, and after scuffling for awhile Thompson drew a dirk knife
and cut See twice with it. Just then Granville Thompson, a brother of the one in
the fight, rushed up and drew a pistol and shot, the ball taking effect in See's
breast. See only lived a short time.
