DWELLING ON HORSEBACK.
Both. Found Dead---Eaoh Shot Three
Times Through the Body.

SAN FRANCISCO, November 49,.
The little hamlet Of Tehachipi is stu
ated up in the mountains of the same
name in Santa Barbara county. Jerry
O. Glenn and Guadalupe Astorga were
men widely knownin that part Of the
State. Glenn was a married man,
though separated from his wife, and
Astorga had formerly been in his en-
ploy. The former is a native Cali
fornian, and the latter of Mexican pa
rentage. They formerly lived in Car
penteria, Los Angeles county, where
the difficulty originated. Glenn had
acquired a strong appetite for liquor,
and when drunk was violent and
abusive. According to the story
of his father-in- law, he used
to abuse his wife s~hamefully,
charging around the house with
a revolver, chasing her from room
to room and threatening to kill
her, Astorga interfered at times to
protect her, and finally assisted her to
60 to her fathers, and the latter fur
nished money to go to San Luis 0bispo,
where she now resides, Glenn hen
accused Astorga Of criminal intimacy
with the woman, and made threats
that he would kill him.
AstOraga finally went away, and
Glenn concluded that he followed his
fugitive wife. He started in pursuit,
and upon inquiry learned that Astorga
was in Santa Barbara, Going there,
he gained satisfactory evidence that
the two were not together but his
anger having been aroused al Astorga,
he followed him, tracking him to
Tehashipi, where the two met on the
18th inst. But, on epcountering his
victim, Glenn's bloodthirsty purpose
seems TO have deserted HIM AT all
events, at the interview which occur
red the principal matter discussed
was a sum of money which Astorga
claimed to be due him, and which
Glenn disputed, A good deal Of harsh
language was INDUCED in on both
sides, when they separated, Astorga
riding away from town. Sometime
afterward Glenn rode out to a place
occupied by a Mr.. Paine, a short dis
lance from town, and inquired ifthey
had seen anything OF a man on q gray
horse and when asked who he was
looking for, he replied Astorga, and
said he would kill him that night lift
WAS the last thing he did. Not fB1ilg
or hearing ofhis man there, he rode
away.
Soon after Astorga rodeup to Psineis
house, and after q while Glenn re-
turned, also ON horseback, with a cock
ed pistol in his right hand. Astorga
was still sitting on his horse, and also
armed, The TWO men met in the
highway. No words were spoken, nor
was any ammunition wasted. Each
made a rush for the other, and, com.
ING to close quarters, they eliAehed
each still sitting on his horse. The

KANSAS WILD HORSES.

Wild horses roam over southwestern
Kansas. The difficult feat of capturing
them was formerly ACCOMPLISHED with the
lasso Entire herds are now secured by
new plan. The hunters outfit ordinarily
consists of fast walking pair of horses
attached to wagon, four saddle penies,
provisions for several weeks, and six men.
A herd being found, the pursuers go after
them at aleisurely pace, doing nothi ng to
frighten them. The wild horses run away,
but are again overtaken, No effort is
made to drive them in any particular di,
rection, nor to hurry them. This is kept
up day after day, until they become famil>
lar with the sight of the men, VITO, at the
end of two weeks are able to 60 among
them. They are somewhat docile through
hunger, too. having been kept to- steadily
moving to permit Of sufficient grazing
They are at length driven to the ranch and
secured. 4
