Killed by Ligning

One Of the most regrettable
accidents that has occ urred late
ly resulted in the death by
lightning stroke, of Alfredo
Laumbach, eldest son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Pete j. Laumbach, at their
home in La Cinta Canyon, last
Thursday, Aug. 29th
Alfredo, who was almost a
man grown, and would have
been 18 years old Oct. 4th, next
was working at building fence
about 200 yards from his fathers
house when a little storm came
up. He gathered up an armload
of firewood, tops from the fence
posts, and started to the house
when the bolt struck him. He
pitched forward on his face,
killed instantly. Julian Sandoval,
who was with him was knocked
down and stunned but he manag-
ed, to crawl on his hands and
knees toward the house till he
met Pete and could not then
speak for time. He is fully
recovered, however.
Alfredo was found with his
clothing riddled as if torn by
shot, and burning. He was
borne to the house and restora-
tives applied but to no avail,
The body was Scared and
burned from head to feet and his
hat and shoes torn to shreds.
Following close on this disaster
a baby was still-born to the
bereaved parents. Messengers
were sent to Roy and relatives in
Santa Fe, La Cueva were no
If ed, but none could come
until after the funeral which
was held at $50 P. M. Friday
evening. A hundred or more
friends and neighbors we're pre-
sent with sympathy and to
assist at the obsequies. Eight
Odd Fellows from Roy went to
the top of the hill in cars with
Rev. Hearn, climbed down over
the many hundred feet of rocks
and walked to the ranch house on
La Cinta creek, to attend. Rev. |
Hearn conducted a short service
in english and spanish and the
bodies were carried from the
desolated home to a little ceme-
terry nearby, where both were
inferred in the same grave.
The parents, five sisters and
three brothers survive them
threeaother children having died !
in infancy.
The death of their frst-born is
the most bitter grief ever
experienced by this worthy
family and all that friends
could do was done to soften
their sorrow. Alfredo had been
sent to School in Albuquerque
and received a good education
and was already his fathers
main dependence in the manage
ment of his large ranch, as well
as his pride and joy.
lara Oh lHdukS
We are deeply grateful to al! the
friends and neighbors, and
especially the Odd Fellows, from
Homestead Lodge, for the sympa
thy and assistance rendered us
in our time of bitterest afliction
in the death of our eldest son,
Alfredo, and at the funeral
obsequies. May you all be spar
ed such grief.
PETE J. LAUMBACH,
and family.

Enroute home from France.
Aug. 18th
Dear Parents;-
will write you
of my most exciting trip with the
convoy feet. | hardly know
where to START
On this trip out from New
York bad luck went with us.
Soon after starting we passed
a Spanish Gasoline schooner that
exploded and went down in five
seconds, the men jumped into
the water and many were lost.
From then on we had all bad
luck. One evening about sunset
a submarine came out and shot
two torpedoes at us. One went

other 20 feet behind. | was
standing on the bridge and saw
both torpedoes. Yes. | was
scared. They were smooth as
glass and under water looked
like snakes coming to us. The
Sub. came out only 10 seconds
our guns started to shoot but too
late. Two minutes later a great
explosion shook the ship and we
thought we were hit, it was a
depth bomb. Next morning the
Sub. came up again at 4.15 and
shot at another ship but did no.
harm, later it fired a torpedo
which sunk the us. S. Tip
pecanoe which sankin % minutes
Next day it came out again
but the Destroyers came and it
left us. Next day we learned
that it was sunk.
At the Docks in France Gen.
Pershing and his staff came and
he made a speech, He said
Heaven, He'll or Hoboken by
Christmas" On the way
home we were awakened one
night by an explosion and the
cannons were booming. We got
up and learned that one ship
was sunk by a torpedo, the same
night a wireless S. 0. S. called
and in less than an hour we
ran into a Convoy going across.
Things were badly mixed all
were running from a Sub. We
missed another ship by not more
than ten feet but all got out
safely. I saw more exitement
and had more real danger on
this trip than on all the others
have made with the convoy fleet.
Your son,

There seems to be an inclina
ton on the part of some to start
reports concerning statements
supposed to have been made by
American citizens of German
birth or extraction. This is very
wrong and should not be counte-
nanced by any patriotic citizen.
Many men of German birth are
as good citizens as we have. A
survey of the lists of killed and
wounded sent over from France
will show that there are quite q
number of German names serv-
ing with the colors and doing
their duty just like other good
citizens.
