"The Owyhee Avalanche", Silver City, I.T., Saturday, March 28, 1868:
THE WAR ON THE MOUNTAIN: John C. Holgate, an owner in the Golden Chariot, and one of the foremost in the advance, was shot in the head and must have died almost instantaneously.
The Dead: John C. Holgate, who was killed in the fatal affray last Wednesday, was a native of Ohio, and came to Oregon at an early day, previous to the discovery of gold in California in '48. He is identified with the early history of Oregon and Washington Territories and was one of the pioneers in Idaho. In 1863 he was in Boise Basin, and came over to Owyhee the next Spring, where he resided up to the time of his unfortunate death. While here he made geology a study, and became largely interested in quartz mines, some of which are great value. We learn that he has a brother and sister residing at Seattle, on Puget Sound, besides other relatives in the States. He was buried Thursday last at three o'clock. A large number of People followed his remains to the grave.
