MURDER in BEAR VALLEY -- Mariposa 'Gazette'
On Monday morning at about 1 o'clock a [damaged line -- looks like "German, by the name of Joseph BIEGLER"], was shot by Lafayette CHOISER familiarly known as "Punch." The deceased kept a Lager Beer Saloon and CHOISER, in company with another person entered his bar-room and called for liquor. After drinking, as they were about leaving the house, the proprietor asked them who would pay for the drinks -- CHOISER replied that he would, and at the same time asked if his credit was not good. Some words passed, and CHOISER drew a pistol and struck BIEGLER on the head. BIEGLER was behind the bar and picked up a gun. CHOISER stood by the door with his pistol draw, when someone present told him not to shoot. He replied that he would not, if BIEGLER would put up his gun. BIEGLER immediately set his gun aside, when CHOISER ran in and clenched him, striking him another blow with his pistol, and then shooting him through the breast. He immediately left the camp, and at last accounts had not been arrested.
