An Assassination.

DR. Hugh ]. Glenn. who was the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor of California
in 1879, the most extensive farmer in the
State, was murdered BY H. Miller at Ger
mantown, Colusa county, Feb. 18th.
While DR.. Glenn was walking along the
porch of Jacinto hall Miller fred at him with
a shot gun, the charge striking him jim the
head and killing him in few hours. The
murderer III. Miller, is man of family, aud
about So years of age. He has been intim-
ately acquainted fer years with DIR. Glenn.
Twice has DIR. Glenn started him in business,
the last time at Colusa, but being an intem-
perate man, he did not succeed Finally he
was compelled to resort to the menial labor
of herding geese at paltry wages, when DIR.
Glenn again took pity on him aud gave him
a situation as his book-keeper at a salary of
S75 a month. Last Monday the Doctor again
found him under the influence of liquor and
severely reprimanded him. when Miller re-
torted in vile and abusive language, where
upon he was discharged. J As soon as Miller
saw his victim fall he turned to es cape by
going across field IN southerly direction
Just then r. M. Cochran, general superin-
tendant for DR.. Glenn, hearing of the crime,
rushed for Henry rifle and started in pur-
suit When within hailing distance he or-
dered Miller to stop. Miller then turned
upon Cochran and told him not to approach
he would shoot, having taken his shot gun
along Cochran seeing no other way of
capturing the murderer, ,shotrat Miller. The
bullet entered the feshy part Of his thigh.
Being wounded, Miller threw up his hands
and called for mercy. He was then trans
ferred to Colusa jail DR.. Glenn owned
/ 81, 900 acres of land in Colusa county of which
5000 are in cultivation. He usually raised
250,0o0 eentals of wheat every year. He
also had large cattle and farming interests
in Oregon aud Nevada. He employed hum
dreds of men, and was always generous and
kind to his employees.

Reply to the Challenge.

Some weeks ago there appeared a
challenge in the columns OF the INDE-
PENDENT addressed to the shooters Of.
Douglas county, the Redfelds not ex-
cepted, by Mr. Alex ireland. AS the
challenge seems to be specially intended
for the Red6elds, we will say it would
have been sooner answered but for the
fact that Mr., Ireland was interviewed
by enc of the Redfelds and failed to
come to the centre by insisting that the
Redfelds should place themselves in
some particular position while shooting.
We, the Redfelds are somewhat
known for shooting, but not for blow
ing about it We have never chal-
leDged Douglas county, and very sell
dom any person, nor will we now, but
have always found plenty of shooting
without advertising for it. We are
under the impression you could have
done the same, Mr.. Ireland, and you
are not the first man who has challenged
Douglas county and gone back on ic.
The Redfelds are somewhat scat
tered, bit by addressing them at Gales
vile you will reach some of them, and
you will be sure to be accommodated
and met half way. It will only cost
you postal card to get all the shooting
you desire. We will not insist on
your taking any certain position. You
may lie down, sit down or stand up;
suit yourself, we claim the same priv
ilege. The regular rules for shooting
will be strictly adhered to- Off haa1
shooters have the benefit Of one half
the distance; these rules all shooters
are familiar with If you fail to come
to time now it would be better for you
to cease your blowing, dispose of your
gun and turn your attention to some
thing you understand, and not consid-
er yourself longer sport.

FROM CLEVELAND.

A legal tender-ness-the valentine.
This coin is from the Cleveland mint.
Although it is very dull out here
at present, I will try to give you few
items of general interest.
The young folks of this neighbor-
hood say that they enjoyed themselves
immensely at the dance given by Mr..
Peter Mckinney on the night of the
14th, and we are not in the least in
clined to doubt it.
Mr. Buell. the efficient mail carrier
between Looking Glass and Oakland,
generally succeeds in making through
trips, rain or shine, for which he de-
serves the thanks Of every resident
along the route.
Winter is very duh season to the
people on this side Of the river, and it
is not to be wondered at, either, if one
will only study the geography of this
part of Douglas county and see how
completely the inhabitants of Coles
valley are cut off from their county
seat and the rest Of the county by the
Umpqua river. This stream could be
bridged with little trouble and no great
amount of money. Yes, a bridge is
what we want. NEwsBoY.

LETTER FROM 0AMf No. 8

Having but little to occupy my time
to-day / thought perhaps i few items
from here would be acceptable.
It has been showing nearly all day
and is quite warm SO the snow has
melted freely. Work has not progressed
very rapidly for the last week on ac-
count of Chinese New Years and bad
weather. There seems to be considera-
bic complaint among the men about
bad colds, but nothing very serious.
On the 18th our doctor came near get
ting hurt by tree falling on his tent,
which destroyed his drugs and tore up
things generally. Our engineer, Mr..
Walk, while riding over the works met
with a fall which bruised him very
badly but not seriously. [ was in
formed to-day that tunnels No. 5 and
I are nearly completed, which speaks
we'll for the energy of Mr. Sweet. /
understand that gin mill is to be put
mp at this can p soon by Dir. Cannon,
but I am of the opinion he will not do
very well as the officers of the road are
opposed to anything of the kind being
operated on the line. Mr.. G. W.
Cleveland has resigned his position as
foreman, and will GO into the wood, tie
and farming business with his uncle.
/ hope Mr. C. will do as well in his
new business as he did training horses.
We have had quite snow storm since
the above was written. The snow is
about eight inches deep, but the wealth
er is quite pleasant. | hear the pay
master will be here soon, and then
suppose all the tin horn gambleas from
Myrtle Greek and other places will be
on hand to swindle men who have
worked hard for the last month Such
gamblers should be put in prison for
the remainder of their natural lives.

The only apology we can make to our
subscribers for the failure to issue a pa
per last week, is that the Editor G. Ball
was confined to his bed, the foreman
Mr.. Richardson and one of the type
settlers were sick, and no printers avail
able We are only able to get out this
number With the assistance of volun-
teers and some young lady typos. I'm

hope that our patrons viii overlook the
omission and extend to US that liberal
ity and support which We need to make
areliable and lively newspaper, whether
the editor be sick or not.

A BLAzE.-On last Tuesday night
about ten o'clock Henry Bowen City
Marshsl and Will Pitchford discovered
smoke issuing from the iron doors Of the
brick store occupied by NJ. Josephson.
The store had been closed about an hour
and half and Mr.. Josephson had gone
home. Word was sent to him to bring
the key of the door. He could scarcely
believe that the fire could be in his
building as there was no stove in it and
no light burning, but upon opening the
the doors the room was found to be fill
ed with smoke and blaze in the shelly
ing on the south side adjoining the
drug store of DR.. Hamilton. The fire
was soon extinguished with cempara-
lively little loss. 1t appears that the
fue is built in the partition wall between
the two stores with pipe hole iu each.
The scot took fire from the drug store
and fell through the pipe hole, there
being no cap on it, on to Josephson's
goods. It is fortunate thst the goods
which first took fire were woolen and
burned slowly, and it was also fortun-
ate that it was discovered before late
hour of the night, or very disastrous
confagration would have occurred.
Mr., Josephsen was fully insured.
