One article said $25 and one said he beat up a man for $15 


Value of $15 from 1893 to 2021

$15 in 1893 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $445.09 today, an increase of $430.09 over 128 years. The dollar had an average inflation rate of 2.68% per year between 1893 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of 2,867.27%.


Value of $25 from 1893 to 2021

$25 in 1893 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $741.82 today, an increase of $716.82 over 128 years. The dollar had an average inflation rate of 2.68% per year between 1893 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of 2,867.27%.


He was held for a $5000 bond.  He almost killed the man.


I didn't find any genealogy information for Mathew but the earliest record I did find was for 1884 Voter Registration in Sacramento. In 1896 he was living in Tuolumne, CA. He must of learned his lesson because there are no further criminal records for him in California.
