INC' PARTICULARS Of DUEL TO DEATH AT LOVELOCK LOVELOCK RANCHER ANI EM PLOYE SETTLE TROUBLE; P.OTII ARE DEAD. The Winneniucea Star publishes the following account of the bloody duel recently fought at Lovelock, by two farmers. Both duelists are well Known in Tonopah, a married daughter of Killabrew's living here formerly, the wife of Geo. Lovelock: li. A. Killabrew, a well-known rancher of Lovelock, and William Hubbard, a man who has been in the employ of Airs. Killebrew for some time, are dead as the result ot a u.oo.ty daei between the two men which was fought about noon yes terday at the Killabrew ranch, a few miles below the town of Love lock. About noon yesterday Kitlalirew was driving along the highway iu front of the ranch house that is occupied by his wife. Hubbard stepped to the roadside and appar ently began demonstrating with Killabrew, then they whipped out their six shooters and began firing at each other. Only Ilesh wounds resulted from this battle; then Hub jard picked up a shotgun that was aenr w.liere he had been standing, and unlimbered it and began firing at his adversary, who replied with i Wimiioster taken from his con veyance. With blood streaming from their wounds, the infuriated .lieu adianccd upon each other, flr .lig willi deadly effect. Coming to a point just a few feet away Hub bard pressed the smoking repeating .shotgun against the wavering, on coming bloody figure; lie was also badly injured, and as he pressed the trigger Killabrew moved just enough to save his entitre head from being shot away from the charge of buckhot. But this did not save him. Half his head was blown away, and as he began to settle down to his death he push ed forward his Winchester and placed the muzzle closely to th body of Hubbard In the region of che abdomen, pressed the trigger and passed across the Great Divldt "Killabrew's body was fairly rid dled with heavy charges of buck shot, and great holes were drilled through different parts of his body. Hubbard was wounded in a half dozen places, but they were all of minor character, except the dying man's last effort, which proved fatal. "Both men were shot to pieces, Killabrew dying where he fell, and Hubbard being "shot in the Intestines and mortally wounded. As soon as neighbors reached the scene Hub bard was taken to Lovelock and arrangements were . made to send him to Winneniucea to be operated upon in the faint hope of saving his life. But he expired last night as he was being carried to the train. "The tragedy is said to have been the culmination of family troubles extending over a period of five or six years, during which time Kil labrew and his wife have been sep arated. Since that time they have been living as neighbors, having divided the ranch property equally. Neither secured a divorce, but the estrangement continued and devel oped into a quarrel which increased NOTICE OF APPOINTMENT OF ADMINISTRATOR AND NO TICE TO CREDITORS, IN THE FIFTH JUDICIAL DIS trlct Pnnrt nf the Rtnto nt NTn. vada, in and for the County of Nye. ir the Matter of the Estate of Mal colm Lloyd Macdonald, Deceased.

"Hubbard, who was hired by Mrs. Killabrew some time ago, took up her side of the controversy and many clashes followed between he and the husband. Only a few weeks ago Killabrew had Hubbard arrested for the alleged theft of a revolver, but the trial resulted in an acquittal. In retaliation Hubbard endeavored to have Killabrew pros ecuted on a charge of perjury,' but without success. These matters had the effect of increasing the bitter ness of the men toward each other, to the point where each thirsted for the other's blood. Yesterday morn ing they met and the quarrel was renewed with the result that they fought the bloody battle which re sulted in the death of loth." MRS.

REFUSES TO DESTROY A CAR Of SPUDS SACRAMENTO, . Dec. 29. Coun ty Horticultural Commissioner F. R. M. Bloomer has troubles of his own. On the 12th of December he located a carload of Nevada po tatoes and gave notice to the South ern Pacific company either' to take the spuds out of the county or de stroy them within three days. The potatoes, according to Bloomer, are Infected with ell worms, against which there is a quarantine. The Southern Pacific company did not haul the spuds out of Sacra mento county and it did not destroy them. The company has no inten tion of doing so, and yesterday in formed Bloomer to that effect. At the same time the company told Bloomer that he could do whatever he wanted to with the spuds, and take all the chances, but that the company would not be a party to his act and would not stand t'le responsibility. Bloomer has passed the matter up to District Attorney Wachhorst, and if. the district attorney advises him to go out and destroy those 147 sacks of spuds, he will do it. If the district attorney does not so advise, Bloomer doesn't know what he will do. The spuds still are in the car, and Bloomer says they are afflicted with ell worm. HARRY K.
