***An Old Timer --
C.X. HOBBS, an old time resident, of San Jose, and builder and owner of
the Postoffice building for a number of years, was killed in Transvaal,
Africa, a few weeks ago, by a fellow miner, also a Californian. Mr. HOBBS
was well known by many of our citizens, who speak of him as a man of many
excellent qualities, a great speculator, and one who has done a great
deal to build up and develop this portion of the State. The fatal quarrel
grew out of an altercation over an old Mono county mining claim, in which
HOBBS and his slayer had been interested.
