County Dies at His Home in
Reno.

Hon. ]. J. Linn. a pioneer of this coun-
ty. and man universally loved and re-
spected by every one who knew him,
died at his home in Reno Wednesday
evening, aged rs years. Mr.. Linn was
native of Maine and came to Humboldt
county early in the COS. He brought
with him sturdy characteristics of his
native State and had not been here loag
until his worth was recognized by every
one with whom he came in contact. tIe
followed mining in this county and was
associated in labor with Hon. s. j. Bon
nifeld, now Judge of this district. Mr..
Linn and Judge Bonniield cabined to-
getner and were bosom companions. In
the election of 1866 he was chosen to rep
resent this county in the lower house OF
Nevaoa's Legislature. Nevada was then
within her confines some of the brainiesr
men that ever lived. and Hon. ]. J. Linn
was not among the least men of the
times. He served his people so well in
1ne lower house that In 1867 they elected
aim Senator, and he served in the ses-
SONS OF 1861 and 69. He moved to Car
son some time after and was appointed
commissary at the State prison and
served under Warden Batterman for Tour
years. With the change of adminisIra-
lon he moved to Reno and for a time
vas employed on the construction work
Of the N. &. and .. running north from
reno. After leaving the employ of the
railroad he accepted a position as local
ana exchange editor of the Gazette and
niied the position to the great satisfac-
.ion OF his employer. He was on the
gazette number of years, when he was
elected Justice OF the Peace Of Reno
township. He served two or three terms
IN that capacity. His health began fail
ing and he retired from the position at
me expiration of his term and since tnar
lime he has been nursing his health.
About two weeks ago he was visited by
another stroke which finally carried him

Spfatlin of Memphis and Jake Glenn Of
Greenwood, Miss. fought duel TN the
street here at noon today, both being
killed: Glenn instantly and SpratIin dy-
ing twenty minutes later from his
wounds.
Ii was deliberate affair. provoked
by a poker game. Spratlin accused
Glenn of cheating, and Glen denied it.
You are liar and a -- -, y
replied Spratlin.
Glenn told Spratlin that he would
have TO take back the vile epithets, and
Spratlins answer was, go arm your
self and prepare to fight 1t out"
They both came down the steps Of the
hotel, talking of their quarrel in ordi-
nary tones. Glenn went to hardware
store and purchased revolver and
Spratlin returned to his home in the
hotel and secured his pistol. They met
on the street in front Of the Wilson
House, and Glenn again asked Spratlin
to recall his ugly words. There was no
menace in his tones that any of the
bystandcrs could detect but he spoke
with determination, and with courage
to enforce his demand
Spratlin had his gun out by the time
they met, and as soon a, his antagonist
had spoken he began to fire, shooting
four times Each Of the bullets entered
Glenn's body. and death was almost in
Simultaneous. Before he fell he managed
to draw his gun and fired twice, infict-
ing mortal wounds on his slayer, who
turned and ran into the store of Roby Il
Jones. Mr.. Roby, who had witnessed
the duel, went up to him and tried to
catch him as he went down Spratlin

KENTUCKY COTTON.
Seed Brought From Mississippi Ma
lures Early With Good Fruit.

Hickman, KY, Oct. 1.-THE Dodds
Brothers cotton gin is in active opera
tion and eighty-fve bales of superior
quality of cotton have been turned out,
and either shipped or are awaiting
shipment, representing a mercantile
value of $3.50. Last year Sydney
Dodds of Clarksdale, Miss, sent from
Mississippi cotton seed which matured
much earlier in this latitude, and if gem
orally planted, will make distinct type
of cotton that will not only be valuable
to the grower, but to the buyer and
shipper as we'll. That which is now
coming to the gin is of excellent quality,
there being only one drawback to its
bringing the best price obtainable for
the commodity. Care in picking is lack
ing, leaves and husks from the stalk
and boil being mixed with the cotton,
which depreciates its quality. The bot
toms up and down the Mississippi river
here are ideal for this kind of agricul-
ture, and the cotton grown on Kentucky
soil is said to be superior to that grown
in Mississippi and brings better prices
