Son of Nicolas Solari, a merchant of Zoaglia, Italy and Louisa Ghelane/Gherlendi of Ohio. Lived in Mariposa and Tuolumne Townships with his parents.
According to James Hendrick's memorial, James became involved with a very young divorcee, Olive Mary(Stephens) Milford, who worked in a Jamestown soda fountain(bar) for a man over twice her age. The owner, Victor Solari born in Indian Gulch, was a former Constable and Tuolumne County Supervisor for the Jamestown area. Solari and the girl became romantically involved and slipped off to Fresno on a Friday the 13th and married.
James protested for several months and finally confronted Solari at his place of business. Solari shot him dead in cold blood in his establishment with James unarmed. Solari, a bootlegger, used his political muscle to get the Grand Jury to recommend dropping charges after the murder trial began. As a result, the trial never resumed after a month's recess.
