Som? of Our K'me Bojs in Aviation Jquadron Gut Kent Experience at It 0ma8, Nibraska. The Fulton County Contingent who joined the Aero , Squadron and left McConnellsburg on the first day of February for the Kelly Aviation Field at San At onia, Texas, have been having real war experience. The Ful ton County boys have been sep arated to such an extent that there is not more than two or three at any one camp. Pete Morton is down at Hampton, Va., Willis Daniels, at Camp Morri son, near Newport News, Va. Lester Waidlich and Jay Taker at Fort Omaha, Neb. It dosen't mean that $vry man in the aviation service is a "bird man" for part of the boys are in the airplane division and part in the balloon service. Wil lis Daniels i3 in the balloon per vice as is, also, Lester Waidlich and Jay Baker. On the 2nd day of May, after a day's training at Fort Omaha, the balloons were brought down and placed in their stoedi?, or "hangars" as they call them. A big balloon, about as large as the Court House more or less it had a capacity of 36,000 cubic feet of gas-had just been housed, when without a moment's warning there was a ttemendous explosion, and at the same instant the balloon and hangar were a mass of flames. Two men were burnt to a crisp, and others so seriously injured that they will be disfigured for life. Harry Theys was slightly burned about the back and neck. W. Don Morton, formerly of this county, very kindly sent the Editor an Omaha paper which gives the details of the accident, and in a letter accompaning the clippings, Mr. Morton says: "Harry Theys who is mention ed comes from Hopewell and is a cousin of the Guillards of Wells Valley. I entertained him and Lester Waidlich of McConnells burg last week in my home. Lester is a member of this same company but, fortunately, had been detailed on special work at the time of explosion. I called at the hospital to-day to see Theys and found that he had been discharged. He was burnt a little. It is said that he wa3 on top of the balloon at the time it exploded and was blown about fifty feet by the concussion. I saw some of the boys that were very badly burned and they will be disfigured for life. Two were burned to death. Their bodies were unrecognizable. A young Baker from Clear Ridge is a member of this same company (the Fourteenth) but I have been unable to see him. The officers make them realize that war is a stern business and they have very little time for visiting. From this it will be seen that the danger of getting hurt in the aviation service is not confined alone to the time they are in the air. Mrs. Peter Morton and daugh ter Miss Joan went to Langley Aviation Field at Hampton, Va. last week to visit Peter Morton Jr., who is a member of Sqadron 119, and who left with the squad ron recruited here in Jauuary. The ladies expect to visit Wash ington, Baltimore, and Camp Meade before returning home. An All-day meeting will be held atPleasant Grove church on Sun day, May 26th, which will con sist of Baptism, Mothers' service and a patriotic service at which time a service flag for the boys who have goneto war will beded icated. Evangelist Beard and Rev. A. R. Garland will be the s peakers. Wednesday, May 22nd Den ton Peck will sell at public sale at his home one-half mile east of Sharpe post office, household goods, carpenter tools, chickens and many other things. Also, at the same time and place, Austin C. Peck will offer for sale the farm, which contains 90 acres. Pocketbook Lost.
