TIE Eng,,sh Dam Hood.

fore the dam broke, the water continues to
run from the river through the levee gaps
over the grain felds. It has to flow FIVE or
six miles through farming lands before it can
escape houeh drains into the Feather river.
| A survey of the flooded sections shows :. 200
acres under water, of which about 300 acres
are in standiug grain, the remainder pastur-
age and stubble. The standing grain ia con-
sidered a total loss as it will be impossible to
harvest it. Even il the water could be pre-
vented from hlwl0g in great portion of the
| flooded grain fields would remain wet for ten
DAYS or more. The water continues to flow
through ths leyee gaps because the river
channel is so much filed by mining debris
that the bed of the stream is higher than the
farming land. In addition to the standing
grain and pasturage ruined there is consider
able grain in stack which is also a total loss.
Careful detailed calculations from an actual
| survey show that the losses SO far sustained
in Linda township by the farmers amount TO
$34 600, not including minor damages to
roads, bridges, gardens, the levee and live
stock. AS the area of flooded lands is con.
stantly extending the total loss may reach
S40,0 600 or $4,000.
The COlusa Murder Trial-A Jury OBJ
faincd.
| CoLUsA, june 2lst.-A suecial venire of
! fifty jurors was returned at P. NJ. to-day, to
complete the panel in the Glenn murder
case. This is the third venire returned in
| the case, only ten Jurors having been OBJ
| tanned out of about 200 persons summoned.
| The present venire was summoned by an
elisor, and was challenged By counsel for the
defense, on the ground that the order of the
| Court appointing an elisor was irregular, it
not having been shown that the Sheriff was
disqualified from acting impartially and
promptly, and the order appointing the elisor
being irregular, sll his acts unGeF it we're null
| and void. Counsel presented the further OBJ
| jecsions that the venire had been irregularly
summoned, the returns not showing that the
| jurors were summoned to act as trial Jurors,
or in what manner they were summoned.
| The objections were overTuled by the Court.
Counsel next challenged the venire on the
ground that l. 7. Jarnison, the elisor, was
biased and Incompetent to act. On ex-
animation, the elisor testified that he had
| known DR.. Glenn intimately for five or six
| years ; as an officer of the law he had inquired
into the facts of the homicide had heard
several statements, but had formed no opin.
ion, and had no impression as to the guilt or
innocence OF the accused. The Court over
ruled the challenge. After examining forty
three of the persons summoned, the two
jurors required to complete the panel were
| obtained. The jury is composed as follows
Ex-senator B. B. Glascock J. B. Dsnner.
builder; w. 81. Degarnatt, merchant; W.
| II. Brown, farmer G. l.. Booth, farmer;
Walter Leaper. painter; Robert Cosmer,
| farmer 5. r. Smith, builder; L. H. Baker.
farmer; P. Y. Burkey, ranch foreman
Perry Wills, blacksmith II. Geer, farmer
The jury consists of leading citizens, and is
said to be the best ever obtained in q criminal
case in this county. the taking of testimony
will be commenced as o'clock tomorrow
morning. The reason assigned for the diff
Guilty in obtaining Jurors in this case is that
| harvesting has just begun, and the farmers
! having found that the forming Of ixed
opinion "a TO the guilt or innocence of the &C.
| cused is sufficient TO release them from acting
| as jurors, they almost unanimously announce
| that they have such an opinion, or, AZ one
| juror expressed it, "The testimony will have
TO buck mighty hard to make me change my
opinion" He was excused. The elisor ex.
perienced many difficulties in summoning the
| jurors. Some of the rsnehers, on seeing him
| approach, mounted their horses and rode off
across the country, to avoid the service of
| subpoena. One farmer gave the officer chase
of three miles through field of barley, and
finally eluded him by jumping his horse across
a slough and riding into some brush, The off
Ger, being in buggy, was forced to give up
the chase. Another stalwart granger was ex-
cused from serving as Juror upon sn intima-
tion that he had the mumps, and might infect
| the jurors.
