In Hotel at Jacinto.
GERMANTOWN, Cal, Feb. 17.-Dr. Hugh
j. Glenn of Jacinto, the owner of the
largest grain ranch in the State, was shot
and killed to-day by H. Miller. About 2
O'Clock this afternoon DR.. Glenn was going
along the porch Of the Jacinto Hotel.
When near the south end of the porch he
passed II. Miller, who had been in the en-
ploy Of the Doctor as a bookkeeper for
about a month. Last Monday Miller was
discharged for drunkenness. Miller was
standing on the porch with a double-bar-
relied shotgun in his hand, and just as Dr..
Glenn passed him he raised the gun and
fired, only a distance Of 10 feet separating
them. The whole charge took effect in the
Doctors head, tearing away a portion of
the skull about the size of a large hens
egg on the top and slightly to the right
side OF his head. The Doctor fell forward
on his face and as soon as possible was
conveyed to the hotel parlor. Medical aid
was at once summoned. but it was of no
avail, for at S:57 o'clock this evening the
injured man quietly passed away, sur
rounded by his family and numerous
friends.
LATER INTELLIGENCE.
SAN Francisco, Feb. 1S-A Willows dis
patch says: Huron Miller, the man who
murdered DR.. Glenn, is about So years Of
age and married. He was addicted to in
temperance, which was the cause of his
discharge. Miller had known Glenn init
mately for many years. Glenn started
him in business, but through dissipation
Miller was unsuccessful, and finally was
forced to accept a mental situation at a
nominal salary. Glenn found him in this
plight, and gave him a situation as book
keeper. Monday Glenn found him intoxi-
Gated, and when reprimanded Miller ap-
piled very lnsolent and insulting language
to his benefactor, who at once discharged
him. Since his discharge Miller has been
hanging around Jacinto under the preteSt
Of bunting. 1t is now thought that he was
only waiting an opportunity to execute his
terrible design. After surrendering Miller
was taken to Colusa and Jailed. Public
indignation is intense at the Willows. and
it is thought the prisoner would have been
lynched had he been placed in custody
there. While on the way to jail he seemed
to be perfectly composed. No definite
reason is known yet for the assassination.
Miller has been drinking heavily since his
discharge, but all say he was perfectly
sober when he committed the deed.
CoLusA, Feb. 1S.-Miller, now in Jail for
shooting DR.. Glenn, and refuses to say
ANYTHING about the affair. He says that
Cochran, who shot him in the leg, to make
him surrender, did right. Miller's leg is
badly swollen and very painful. Miller
was very much afraid of the mob when
lodged in Jail. Mrs. Miller, his wife, is
terribly Frustrated with the news of the
shooting and 10 very i'll. No lady stands
higher in the estimation of the people, and
she has borne many trials with fOrtitude
that has won her the admiration of all.
