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

TIRED OF LIFE.

   In 1859 Justice Burgess, at Goodyear's bar, had a Chinaman brought before
him, charged with robbing a toll-house. Considering a light punishment
sufficient, his honor furnished him a temporary residence at the county seat. A
day or two after his confinement, the melancholy Mongolian was found hanging by
the neck in his cell, life having taken its exit.
