          Murder of -------- Prieto. �This occurred in July, 1859, in that part 
of Napa City known as Spanishtown. There was a general row going on among the 
Spaniards and Prieto was stabbed several times, any one of seven of them being 
severe enough to have proved fatal. One Geralda Feliz was held for commission of 
the deed by the Grand Jury, but there is nothing further on record concerning 
the case.
