MURPHY'S Early in 1849, John and Daniel Murphy, two brothers, came from Monterey to do a little gold digging. They struck it rich and the camp took their name. It was here that Joaquin Murrieta was a monte dealer in 1851. His bloody career started when his brother was unjustly accused of horse stealing and was hung, Joaquin was 'flogged. Out- wardly the town looks like it did in the 1800's, the street is shaded by elms and Chinese heaven trees. The buildings have iron shutters. A great number of notable men stopped here, Mark Twain, Horatio Alger, Thomas Lipton, C.E. Bolton (Black Bart the bandit), General Ulysses S. Grant, and many others..M.P. © & Published by Royal Pictures, Colton, California C-307 Photo-color by Merle Porter S-100018
