TWO KILLED WHEN TRUCKS COLLIDE NEAR CASTLETON, KANSAS

Hutchinson, Kan. — A harvest accident at a road intersection near Castleton claimed the lives of two Kansas farmers Monday evening.

A pick-up truck driven by Ralph Stucky, 18-year-old son of G. A. Stucky of Partridge, and a grain truck driven by 80-year-old Charles E. Graves collided. It is believed both were instantly killed. The pick-up truck burned, and it was some time before the charred body of the Stucky youth could be removed. He had been working in the harvest for his uncle, J. W. Krehbiel, Pretty Prairie.

Funeral services for the Stucky youth were held Wednesday afternoon at the Assembly of God church here.
