Princeton, Colusa County, says mr. HI Glenn, the
largest wheat raiser OF the state, who for Cover
on the Democratic ticket in 1879, shot day

but the brain is oozing from the wound, and there is
little or no hope of recovery. Miller refused TO

is that Miller did not give satisfaction as a book
keeper, and was discharged yesterday.

a California Complication.

h4tHh"Ves
A possibility OF trouble looms up in
California over the choice OF tho next Leg.
gisIature and-Prtsidentisl election in that
State. The Legislature Of 1881 failed to
divide the State into legislative districts,
though the Constitution required it to per
form the work. So the new apportion.
ment for Senator'S will not take effect until
1885, two years later than was intended.
This will not affect the election for mem.
bers OF the lower house, but 1t may cloud
the title of the Senator to be elected next
year. The possibility Of q difficulty over
the electoral ticket arises from tho illegal
method in which tho bill for the Congress
sional apportionment which controls that
OF electors was passed by the Democratic
Legislature. This bill was read once only,
while the Constitution requires that all
bills must DO read three times. California
will DO allowed 10 settle its legislative diff
Culties in its own way, but II an attempt |:
made 10 get up any more Cronin electoral
colleges the country will make short work
OF them.
