shooting are as follows: Miller, who had
been employed as book keeper for Glenn,
was discharged for the reason
that he did not give salts
faction, and for this only
so far as known here. He procured shot
gun and fired at the doctor,who was stand
ing at distance of sixty feet, at the south
east corner of the hotel porch. The whole
top of his head was blown off. A dispatch
received here at p. m. bringing the news
of the affair says that Glenn's brains were
then oozing out and protruded four inches,
and death was momentarily expected. r..

tempting to arrest Miller, shot him IN the
knee. Miller is now under arrest Great
excitement prevails in the vicinity. Glenn

gagged in dispute with James McDaniels,

mistaking him for McDaniels assaulted him
with billy. He was struck in the back
of the neck with the weapon and felled to
the ground, when the gang pitched upon
him and kicked him until
