A Colorado man was killed and three companions injured Friday when their car ran off Interstate 15 and overturned just south of Mesquite near the Arizona border.
The Nevada Highway Patrol said a passenger, 55-year-old Clyde EASTMAN of Grand Junction, Colo., died when he was thrown from the car. Twenty-six-year-old Gary CROSSLEY, who is stationed at Fort Irwin, Calif., and two other passengers, 21-year-old Franklin SPURLOCK of Fort Irwin and Paul RAMSEY, listed as a hitchhiker suffered non-critical injuries. The patrol said CROSSLEY, the driver, apparently fell asleep at the wheel."deceased was 35 years of age, and leaves three orphan children at Grass Valley, California, the oldest ten years of age. I do no know what if any other relatives than those orphans. Deceased left no property nor means of support. Appended to the report was the following letter: "Grass Valley, California. April 16, 1869. William H. SMITH, Esq. Foreman of Crown Point Mine, Gold Hill - Dear Sir; your very kind favor of 15th instant was duly received, and in reply I would inform you in addition to my letter to Superintendent JONES, of 14th instant, that there are three children aged 5, 7 and 10 years, which are under my immediate charge. Their mother died about 21 months ago. Two of the children are with me - the youngest and oldest - the other is with Humphrey JULIEN. Mr. J. has four children of his own, and I have six. We are both day laborers, which keeps us digging all he time for hem; which if you are a man of family, you well know. Therefore, if anyone has any claims for charity, there little ones have; and if your committee donate anything for them, please send it to me, and I will see that it is judiciously used for their benefit. Yours Very Truly, James GLUYAS."
