CHOOSES DEATH
TO DISGRACE

Ottoe Hupfer, who for several
months acted as barkeeper for
Vim. Kruse at this place committed
suicide last Friday morning at
Carson by firing bullet into his
brain. The yourg man left Gard
nerville about two months ago and
went to Carson where he secured n
position at the Park hotel as night
barkeeper.
The direct cause of his rash act
is attributed to the loss of several
hundred dollars of his employer.
The young man took the money
from the safe and lost it gambling
and having no money to replace it,
desided that death was preferable
to disgrace AMI probably prison.
mcnt, and ended his earthly exist
ance.
He walked out to spot near
the Gardner ranch and standing
on the bank of a ditch, fired the
fatal shot. Mr.. Gardner found the
body few hours later partially
covered with water. He notified
the authorities at Carson and an
inquest was held which resulted in
verdict that the deceased had
met his death from a gun shot
wound, self inflicted with suicidal
intent.
He left a short note to his
employer and one to his parents
in Germany, stating that he could
not stand to work all the time and
never have any money.
The young man made many
friends while in Gardnerville who
were greatly surprised to learn of
his downfall.
