the life of the young seaman as taken

John Tousley,
Rancher, Killed
By Lightning

John Tousley, a rancher residing
in the Bluff Springs district north of
OIney Springs, was instantly killed
by lightning late last Sunday after
noon while riding along the road in
a buggy. With him were Fred Seba
and Harley Carter. Carter was
knocked from the vehicle and landed
twenty-five feet away in a dazed con-
dition. Carter was rendered uncon-
scious but remained in the rig while
the body of Tousley was almost un-
moved from its position, leaving the
dead body upright in the seat. One
of the mules was also killed.
The men had been at Olney Springs
where they played ball that after
noon. They were driving a mule
team hitched to a spring wagon, and
when within a mile and half of the
Tousley home bolt of lightning was
shot from a small cloud overhead
killing the one and injuring and
rendering unconscious the other two.
The fact that Tousley wore ball cap
and the other two wore hats is partly
accounted for all three not having
been killed. One of the injured men
had his ball cap in pocket In his
trousers and it was almost completely
burned up, and when the current of
lightning passed down their clothing
and out at their shoes the shoes were
torn and the shoe soles wrenched
from position.
j. H. Guthals and son, Alfred,
were in Ordway Tuesday and gave
an account of the accident, stating
that the funeral service of Mr.. Tous-
ley was held at Calhan that day. Mr.,
Tousley is survived by a wife and
two children. They have homestead
in the northwest part of the county,
having formerly lived in the Calhan
neighborhood.

Dear Friend:
viii try and write line to let you
know l am getting along fine. l re-
ceived the Ordway New Era today.
l was sure glad to get 1t, for it is
like letter from home to me. Well
l am still down at our camp in
Nogales. But we got orders that we
would leave in August from this
camp to our mobilization camp, where
we will probably be for several weeks
before going across the pond.
The way things look we leave here
about the 10th of August. Do not
know where our mobilization camp
will be. For no one knows where
we go or land till we land. / sure
hope we get to place where it isn't
quite so hot. For l think this is
the hottest place in the u. S. We
get quite little drilling-about s
or 8 hours per day. After we come
in after retreat we wash out our
sweaty clothes and hang them up
for it only takes thAm a little while
to dry in the hot sun. We get Q
hike over the rocks and hills once
week, sometimes two times. Sure
some hills in this country. Our camp
is right In between hills-hills all
around our camp. The boys that
come from Colorado are going to get
a half day off tomorrow afternoon to
celebrate Colorado day. There are
about 1000 of the Colorado boys in
the 35th infantry.
