Ritter, Paul -
Paul Ritter, 23, of Afton, was killed Monday evening when the airplane which he was driving crashed to the ground near Creston, bursting immediately into
flames.

The plane was destroyed by the fire and the body of the young man frightfully burned before it could be removed.

On last Sunday the young man was a guest in the James Ely home east of town, coming here with his plane for a visit with the Ely young people. Ritter had been flying for several years.
