4 FORMER CITIZEN OF AUGUSTA COUNTY IVA.
SHOT AND KILLED IN CALIFORNIA.

A FORMER CITIZEN OF AUGUSTA COUNTY (yA.)
SHOT AND KILLED IN CALIFORNIA.
A dispatch from Princeton, Colusa coun-
tv, Cab, says "Dr. III. j. Glenn, the largest
wheat raiser Of the State, who ran for Gov
ernor on the Democratic ticket in 1879. was
shot on his ranch. at Jacinto, Saturday. by
II. Miller, his book-keeper. Miller shot
Glenn with n shotgun at a distance Of
about sixty feet, the charge taking effect in
Glenn's head. Glenn is dead. Miller re-
fused to surrender until shot in the knee
by II. VI. Cochrane, Glenn's superintend-
emit. The only cause yet known for the
shooting is that Miller did not give salts
faction as bool-keeper, and was discharged
Saturday. DR.. Glenn is native OF Augusta
county, Va"
LATER PARTICULARS OF THE AFFAIR.
A dispatch from Willows says Heron
Miller, the man who murdered DR.. Glenn,
is about fifty-iiyc years OF age and mar
ried. lie was addicted to intemperance,
which was the cause OF his discharge.
Miller had known DR.. Glenn intimately
for many years. Glenn started him in
business, but through dissipation Miller
was unsuccessful, and was finally forced
to accept mental situation at a
nominal salary. Glenn found him IN
this plight and gave him situation As
book-keeper. On Monday Glenn found
him intoxicated, and when he reprimand-
ed him Miller applied very insolent and in
sulting language to his beneiactor, who at
once discharged him. Since his discharge
| Miller has been hanging around Jacinto
under the preteXt OF hunting. 1t is now
thought he was only waiting for an oppor-
tunitv TO execute his terrible design. AZ
ter surrendering himself, Miller was
taken to Colusa and put in Jail.
Public indignation is intense at willows,
and it Is thought the prisoner would
have been lynched had he been placed in
custody there. While OH the way to jail
Miller seemed perfectly composed. No de-
finite cause is yet known for the asslssina-
ton. Miller has been drinking heavily
since he was discharged. but every one
says he was perfectly sober when he COM
mitted the deed.
a dispatch from Colusa says Miller, who
/ is i'm jail there. refuses to make any state
ment regarding the assassination. lie says
the man who shot him TO make him surren-
der did right. Miller was very much afraid
OF the mob when lodged i'm Jail.

few couples, not so prctcntious IN style

wenlrd their way to the Potomac. Mirth-
full hesitancy ruled the approach to the

dispelled suspense, when little short

had now changed. The enjoyment OF the

visited. a carelcssly broken umbrella
and an accidental parting of portion OF

the evening, the party returning at sea-
sonable hour with many pleasant rccol-
