FIRES INTO HOTEL AND KILLS BARKEEPER
Dispute Over a Bill at Rich Gulch Results In a Murder by a Cowboy.

MOKELUMNE HILL, June 17.— About 10 o'clock Friday night a courier named B. M. Hawver arrived from Rich Gulch and reported to the authorities that Fred Johns, known as "Montana Cowboy," shot and killed Tom Evans, a bartender employed In the Rich Gulch Hotel, who is a son-in-law of the proprietor of the hostelry. The trouble arose over a hotel bill. After a dispute, which occurred at 2 o'clock, Johns left and went to Mokelumne Hill on horseback, returning at 9:20. He shot his victim through a window, the ball taking effect in the brain. The hotel proprietor thereupon took a shot at the asailant, wounding him in the shoulder. The assailant mounted a horse and went to Mineral station, two miles distant. He is suffering from his wound.

Accoding to Langley’s Directory of San Francisco, Benjamin’s mother worked at a tobacco and cigar shop at 41 4th st. in San Francisco. Magdalena’s father worked at the bakery and coffee saloon across the street at 28 4th St. You can see how Ben and Lena could have met just by being in their parents’s stores. The family story passed down is that Ben was washing windows and saw Lena and fell in love. Today the approximate location of where these stores were in San Francisco is now Old Navy (the bakery) and the Marriot Hotel (cigar shop) on 4th and Market Streets. The original buildings fell down in the 1906 earthquake.
