TRAGEDY AGAIN ENTERED CHRISTY HOME IN NEVADA

Grim tragedy has stalked the life of one Nevada citizen the second time within six months.

Earl Christy, 404 J avenue, received a message Sunday announcing the death of his father, Arthur B. Christy, at St. Paul as a result of injuries sustained in a fall Saturday afternoon.

Mr. Christy, employed in one of the school buildings at St. Paul, fell from a ladder upon which he was working and struck upon his head on a cement floor.

He was hurried from the scene of the accident to a hospital, where he died early Sunday morning.

The son left here at once for St. Paul, where he will be joined by his brothers and sisters for the funeral and intement services.

Arthur B. Christy had lived in Nevada at one time, but of later years had made his home in Minnesota and for some time held a responsible position in charge of equipment in on the large schools in St. Paul.

He leaves two sons and two daughters. The sons are Earl Christy of Nevada and Walter Christy of San Francisco, while the daughters are Mrs. Lorraine Garrison of Riceville, Iowa, and Miss Christine Christy of Pueblo, Colorado. The younger daughter Myrtle Christy, died at her home there March 27, from the effects of poison taken a few days before.
