Terrible Tragedy at Reliance
Man Shot Dead
Murderer Gives Himself Up and is Lodged in City Jail
The little town of Reliance was thrown into a great state of excitement by a terrible tragedy which occurred at ten minutes past six on Wednesday night.
Andrew Bonduras was shot dead in his own home by Resto Patrich, alias Resto Yallich.
On Wednesday night Bonduras was sitting in his home along with is wife, his sister-in-law, Annie Angelovich, and several friends. Bonduras and his sister-in-law were playing cards when a knock came to the door. The visitor was asked to come in and Yallich entered the room. From what we can learn, Yallich had previously been paying unwelcome attention to Annie Angelovich. On entering he was politely asked to take a seat but he refused, saying he was only to stay a minute, and approaching Miss Angelovich asked why she didn't come and work at the boarding house where he was staying.
Miss Angelovich replied that she had plenty of work at home. He then urged her to come and work at his boarding house and was told that she didn't require to go out and work.
Yallich then lost his temper, kicked the girl on the leg and struck her on the head. The girl rushed into an adjoining room and the people present rose to try to restrain Yallich.
Yallich then appeared to lose his head altogether. He backed up to the door, drew a gun and fired three shots into the room. Two of the shots struck Bonduras one in the stomach and one under the left arm.
Yallich then rushed out of the house and apparently appalled at what he had done went straight to Constable Robinson and gave himself up, saying he had killed Andrew Bonduras. He also handed over a 25 calibre Colt automatic with three shells in the magazine and one in the barrel.
In the meantime a doctor had been summoned to attend the injured man but he was dead before the doctor arrived.
Constable Robinson, fearing a demonstration, at once brought Yallich to Rock Springs and handed him over to Deputy Sheriff Dankowski who had him placed in the city jail.
The body of Bonduras was brought the same evening to Rock Springs and taken to the City Undertaking Parlors.
Andrew Bonduras lived for many years in Rock Springs and was a well known and highly respected citizen. His wife is a daughter of John Angelovich, of Reliance, who also resided for a number of years in this city.
The tragedy has caused a painful sensation, not only in the camp where it happened but also in this city.
The body will be taken to the home of Mrs. Bonduras' sister on East Flat.
