Former Durango Man Killed
In Tonopah.

"Blondie" lie Blanc, a bar tender
who worked in Durango in ante pro
hibition days met death in Tonopah,
Nevada few weeks ago when five
shots fired by his wife penetrated
his body. 1t appears the trouble was
the result of threat he made to take
her life. He secured good sized
rock, forced his way into her room
and was evidently prepared to suit
the action to the word, when the
woman fired five shots at him, each
time aiming true. The man turned
and walked few steps and dropped
over dead.

WITHHOLDING THE NEWS.

There is hardly day that passes
by that some one does not call and
ask the Herald to withhold certain
news from the public. A second
thought will bring most any one to
the realization of the unfairness in
many such instances.
1t must be remembered that the
very business OF u Newspaper is the
publicat ON Of the news. When you
ASK newspaper not to publish ans
news that is going to 90 10 the pub
lie iDyv ay you are inflicting an in
jury to the business Just the same
AS you would were you 10 ask a mer-
chant &c put aside an article and not
sell L fcr a time or perhaps for all
tire. Just as well ask farmer to
leave his crop stand in the field until
one determines whether or not there
is going to be an over production
along that line.
Occasionally editors are asked t.
withhold certain news for a day or
two for the convenience of somebody
and invariably the same news will be
published in some other paper and
the newspaper accommodating someone
loses the news and of course is in
jured to the extent of the value of
the news item to tho public.
In the publication Of the news it
must be remembered that there is a
mutual contract between the news
paper and the public that the paper
will publish the news and it should
not be asked to violate that contract.
The Pueblo Chieftain fully explains
the situation in the following edi-
torial:
The Chieftain has a contract with
several thousand subscribers in Pueblo
and with other thousands outside of
this city to give them fair, accurate
and complete account Of the news
events from day to day. Upon the
ability and good faith with which the
editors of this paper perform the OBJ
legations of this contract depends its
success as a public newspaper, in
volving, in addition to its duty to its
subscribers, its value as an advertis-
: ing medium, and the success of
business involving the Investment OF
daily wages of more than a hundred
large amount of capital, and the
workers in various departments.
1t frequently happens that The
Chieftain is requested, as a matter of
personal favor to violate it's contract
with its subscribers, to lessen its val
ue as an advertising medium, to dis
regard the interests of its stockhold.
ers and to inflict an injury upon
everyone connected with this news
paper in any capacity, by suppress
ing some item of news value and in
terest.
1t is always a matter of regret
when we are not able to comply with
any request that seems reasonable to
anyone and especially if that one is
subscriber or patron of the ad-
vertising columns of The Chieftain.
But this paper is engaged in the busi-
ness of publishing the news, not of
suppressing it. The very life of the
paper depends upon the confidence of
its readers, the confidence that they
are going to get the news, and all
the news, without fear or favor, and
that confidence we are not gong to
betray.
