GEORGE WILKINS

St. Johns:  Word has just reached here from the little 
mountain town of Nutrioso in the southern part of Apache 
County telling of the killing of George Wilkins of that 
place by lightning, while he was on his way to Magdalena, 
New Mexico.  The particulars cannot be learned at this 
time, but it is known that he left home with his wife 
and family to two children five days ago to resume some 
work that he had been doing.  He was raised in this 
county, having come here with his parents over  
twenty years ago.
