Rosebud Youth Killed By Lightning.
-----

Rosebud, Tex., May 25.--A telegram was received by Capt. J. W. Sneed announcing the death of his son Harry Sneed who was killed by lightning on the Sneed ranch forty miles north of Amarillo.
       Young Sneed who was but seventeen years of age, was out horseback riding when he was struck.  Both he and the horse were killed instantly.  The remains will be interred in Rosebud cemetery arriving here about Sunday.
       Harry had recently returned from a San Antonio college and went to his father's ranch to recuperate.  His tragic death is universally regretted, as he was very popular here.
