>THURSDAY, 23 JUNE 1864<<

ON SATURDAY MORNING last Francis McCONNELL, a Sacramento lawyer, was killed by the accidental discharge of both barrels of his gun, while he was driving a wagon on the road near Union Valley above Georgetown. It is supposed that one of the wheels, in running over a rock, had shaken the vehicle and caused the deceased to strike the hammers of the gun with his foot, or in some other way to jar them sufficiently to explode the charges. Deceased was latterly Court Commissioner in the 6th District Court and was a promising young lawyer. He was buried in Sacramento.
