YOUNG FARMHAND IS INSTANTLY KILLED BY LIGHTNING WHILE HE IS WORKING ON A HARROW IN FIELD
Horses Ran Away and Carry Body Many Rods Before It Is Finally Released----Young Man Was Working Near Employer
(Special to the Tribune)
Ault, Sept. 23.-While working in the fields on a harrow yesterday afternoon about 3:15 o'clock, Bentley Yeck, aged 17, son of Mr. and Mrs., homesteaders, was instantly killed when he was struck by lightning. The death occurred on the farm of C. B. Pierce, seven and a half miles northeast of Ault where Yeck was employed.
Pierce and Yeck were in the field working together when the storm broke. Following a sudden and most violent flash of lightning Pierce turned around and saw that Yeck's four horse team was running away.
The dust was so intense that Pierce could not make out the boy. The body was carried about thirty rods on the harrow before it was dropped. The lightning had struck him in the neck and the clothing on his back was badly burned.
The body was taken to the house and Coroner Macy was summoned. Death had been instantaneous. No inquest will be held.
Yeck and his employer had remained in the field after the storm had started, believing that it would soon pass.
C. O. Pierce said this morning. "I was some distance from Yeck when the terrific blaze of lightning came. I looked back toward him and saw the horses running away. The dust was so thick that I could not make Yeck out until his body fell from the harrow."

Did I tell you the story about Granddad Yeck? Dad Yeck and Mom Yeck (Maggie)
are buried in Mound Cemetery, Cowden ILL. When Dad Yeck remarried - happily
- he envisioned "Clara" joining them - he between the two wives. However,
Clara's Sister, a maiden lady who did not sanction the marriage anyway, had
other thoughts, and when Clara died (after Dad Yeck), sister buried Clara in
the family cemetery on the farm in Farina IL. . . . this came from Dottie
Hitt, Dad ;Yeck grandchild living nearby in IL. I consider it a good story
and reliable. I have never been to the cemetery to verify - I'll take her at
her word.........Ev

Ev has all of Joseph's bibles and numerous sermon notes.
