country exchange has this to say
about printing all the news: "a man
stopped us on the street the other day
and said we did not print all the news.
We should say not. In the first place,
there's somebody else depending on
us for living If we published all
that happened we would be with the
angels. In order to please the people
we must print only the nice thing said
of them and leave the rest to gossip.
Yes, it's fact, we don't print all the
news. If we did, wouln't it be spicy
reading? But it would be for one
week only. The next week you
would read our obituary and there
would be new face in heaven. All
the news is alright when it is about

Tradgic Death
Of Young Student
J. A Champagne, Genoa Boy, Accident
ally Kills Himself

"Our Comrade' in the center
James Arthur Champagne was born
in Markleeville, California about %
years ago. At the age two he left
Markleeville and lived for few years
in Carson, and then in Genoa until he
entered the university four years ago.
He was very steady and industri-
Gus young man, having earned his
way entirely during the years he at
tended college. He achieved remark
able class standing and because of this
and of his determination and of his
upright he enjoyed the respect and
good will of the members of the facul-
ty and the student body. He had been
pledgeda few months before to the T.
H. p. o. .one of the college fratern-
tiles and would have teken his men,
bership degrees in few weeks.
Death always wonderful, is more SO
when unexpect 3D. Its awful signifi
canoe could not have been better por-
trayed than by the tragic and sudden
end of j. A. Champagne Sunday Feb
urary II. One moment we see him
en- joying the sunshine of life surround
ed by friends and college mates, the
next his soul is summoned from its
earthly abiding place to the ethereal
realms of the Almighty, while about
the clay of his body we see friends and
relatives paying their last sad tributes
of respect.
How sad seems the parting just in
the bloom of life, when the hopes of
those, whose loving care and sacrifice
have reared the youth, are about to be
realized? The fates are cruel, but we
cannot question the wisdom of the
Father i'll Heaven, so let us say with
the poet as we turn our eyes for last
lingering glance upon the graves of
our dead
He gave his honors to the world
again,
His blessed part to Heaven, and
slept in peace.
So may he rest; his faults lie gently
on him.

James A Champagne, Junior i'll

sity..of Nevada and whose home was
in Genoa, this COUNTY, accidentally
shot and killed himself in his room in
Lincoln Hall last Sunday evening at
about nine p. M. Accordig to his
last words he was handling the gun,
which he had taken from drawer in
is study table, and in some manner
discharged it, the bullet passing
through his body just above the heart.
He was alone in the room when the
accident occurred, his room mate hav-
ing just gone out to mail some letters.
The report of the gun was heard by
many of the students in the dormitory
and the wounded boy was found a
very few moments after, by Louis
Goldstein. He was lying face down
ward on the floor with his right arm
thrown across his eyes, while the
pistol Smith q Wesson, 3S caiber,
was found few feet away from his
side. Physicians were summoned and
everything possible was done to save
the young mans life, but to no avail.
The final summons came at 10 30,
an hour and half after the accident.
He was conscious during the greater
part of this time, but he was only able
to speak few words, sayiag to those
about him that it was an accident and
that he suffered terrible pain.

grief stricken relatives were entirely
overcome by the unexpected and awful
nature of the calamity. The mothers
expression of sorrow when she first

witnessed it.

extremely impressive and beautiful.

Custom Dying Out

Wednesday was st. Valentines day
and as result the mail pouches were
somewhat bulky, as this is the one day
in the year in which the enyious and
Others have an opportunity of illus
trating there likes and dislikes upon
their acquaintance. Local dealers
report the sale of valentines both
comic, and those containing messages
of friendship and love as being very
light. This condition goes to show
that the beautiful custom once cher
ished by old and young alike Is fast
dying out, probably caused by the alb
use of the custom by frivilous people.
