KILLED BY
LIGHTNING
jfarion Gross Strnck by a
Bolt and Instantly
Killed
About 5 o'clock Wednesday of
last week, while loading crossties
r the Ashboro Wheelbarrow
Co 's planing mill, in the sou th
em part of town, Marion Cross, a
negro about 21 years old, was
struck by lightning and instantly
killed. - ,
A cloud coming from the south
was heavily loaded with electric
ity and when it began to rain
Cross ran into the office of the
planing mill. As he was letting
the window down a bolt of light
ning struck a pine tree a few feet
from the rear of the office, glanc
ed and went through a pane of
glass, in the stomach or breast,
setting fire to his clothes, Cross
falling over a table,, dead.
Mr. Lysander Johnson, who
was in the office at the time, was
badly shocked, his hearing being
impaired, but he never lost con
ciousness. He called for help,
and in a minute or so - men came
from the mill and put out the fire
which was then burning Cross
I Cross' remains were sent to his
home in Harnett county where
they were buried. ,
On the same afternoon a flash
of lightning played havoc with
l r T- V 1 A 1
some worK ivir. ttODeri a., uienn
had been doing at Mr. Wm. Eu:
bank's- residence. While the
storm was at its worst Mr. Glenn
left the outhouse where he had
been at work. A flash of light
ning struck a tree near the out-.
i
house, glanced and struck the
flatter, tearing it nearly to pieces.
.Mr. Glenn had only been out of
.the house about ten minutes.
