BATES COUNTY OFFICER KILLED
ATFT. RILEY
Lieut.. Floyd s. Bates, Of Adrian,
Killed by Stroke Of Lightning
at the Training Camp.

The first death among the men
from Bates county who offered them
selves to their country for war SER
vice occurred at the Officers Train
ing Camp, at Ft. Riley, Kansas, Mon
day evening when Dr. Floyd S. Bates,
of Adrian, was killed by a bolt Of
lightning.
Lieutenant Bates and Lieutenant
Belshe, OF Trenton, were laying in
their hunks commenting on the rain
and the brilliant lightning play, when
suddenly there was a clap of thunder
and the lightning bolt struck a wire
stretched from one tent pole to an
other and came down, the wire dang
ling over DR.. Bates bed, striking him
over the heart. Lieutenant Belshe, al
though stunned, ran out and called
for help, but DR.. Bates had been killed
instantly.
Lieutenant Bates was attached to
the sanitary department of the Sec
ond regiment Missouri National
Guard and was receiving training at
the medical officers training camp
He was one Of the most prominent
and successful of Bates county's
young physicians and was among the
first to volunteer for service when the
need for men Of his profession was
made known.
He was born in Adrian about thir-
ty years ago and is the son of DR.. and
Mrs. S. L. Bates. Besides his parents
he is survived by wife and three
sman children. who are spending the
summer in Colorado.
Arrangements for the funeral have
not been made up to the hour of going
to press. The body will reach Adrian
Thursday.

sary to wait for train No. 2oS which
goes at II:oo a. m, and which does
not arrive at Kansas City until af-
ternoon. Coming back it will be
necessary to wait in Kansas City un-
til after midnight for a train 1t
will also be inconvenient about the
evening papers which have been re-
ceived here at 800 o'clock in the
evening. In the future they will get

In 1916, when war with Mexico
looked like a certainty, the company
was again called into active service
and saw several months of hard camp
life on the border.
Captain Caruthers enlisted as a pri
vate in company B in 1895 and
served with 1t until after the
Spanish American war. When the
company was reorganized he was
made first sergeant and a little later
was elected lieutenant. He resigned

interests will be carefully looked af-
ter at all times by their captain.

Thomas Burner, first sergeant, has
been with the company for long
time, and earned his chevrons while
on the border last summer. There is
no doubt but that he will be a very
popular "Top" sergeant.
One of the most important positions
of all, that Of mess sergeant, is held
by Richard Haynes. He is largely re.
sponsible for the proper feeding Ct

terial from the commissary and super
