  Text	Earl Reeves, 28-year old Simla youth, was instantly killed late Wednesday afternoon, when struck by lightning as he was working in the field. Earl, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Reeves, and a graduate of Simla Union High School, made his home with his parents on their farm about five miles south of Simla. The accident occured about 4:30 o'clock while Mr. Reeves was plowing with a tractor, but was not discovered until approximately thirty minutes later, when two other men working nearby, saw the tractor circling around apparently out of control, they decided to investigate. Nearing the tractor, they saw it was driverless, and upon further investigation found Earl lying in the field. The tractor had been running about in a circle and the body was found some distance from the machine. Dr. D. O. Groves, County Coroner, was called to investigate the accident, after which the body was removed to the Deits Funeral Home in Limon. Funeral services will be conducted from the Evangelical Church in Simla Friay afternoon at 2 o'clock.
