His condition is reported good in the Pratt Hospital. After investigating the accident later, they found that a tree limb had broken and fallen across the wires west of where the accident happened and this caused the wires to be “hot”. Ralph Nitzsche was born December 9, 1904 at Rulo, Nebraska. He lived in Rossville for several years before moving to Turon, Kansas 26 years ago. He worked as a signal maintainer for the Rock Island Railroad for 26 years. He was a member of the Christian Church and Masonic Lodge in Turori.
