Book Title: Illustrated History Of Plumas, Lassen & Sierra Counties

QUICK WORK AT GOODYEAR'S.

   In 1854 the bars on the river at Goodyear's were alive with men, and
sanguinary quarrels were of almost daily occurrence. The gambling-saloons were
generally the pest-houses from which emanated the bloody crimes, and in one of
these a man named Hawkins was killed one day by a Spaniard. No sooner had the
deed been committed than the murderer was fiercely attacked by the spectators,
who cut and hacked him without mercy, causing his death almost instantly. On his
body were ten deep knife-wounds.
