Correspondence of The Gazette.
CHERRYVILLE, June 30. Ira
Roscoe Nlell, the 12-year-old son or
Dora Nlell, was killed Friday even
ing by lightning during a rain and
hall storm which visited this section.
Young Nlell, with three other play
mates, had taken refuge in the gar
age building near the depot. The
boys were standing in the door when
the shock came that killed young
Nlell and knocked all the other boys
down. The theory advanced by some
for the escape of the three boys from
death was because they had shoes on
and the Nlell boy was barefooted.
Others say that the dead boy must
have been standing on the cast door
piece and the other boys were not.
It is all a matter of presumption as
the boys were all together and the.
living ones can't say whether they
were all standing on the cast door
piece or not. Burial was made in
the Lutheran cemetery Sunday - ar
ternoon at 3 o'clock. The following
members of the family survive; Miss
Dora Nlell, his mother, and two sis
ters, Mrs. John Wrains, of Cherry
ville, and Mrs. Worth Black, of Da
nia, Fla.
Floyd Mauney, aged 16, and a son
of Mr. Phillip Mauney, who lives
near Cherryville, was the victim or a
painful accident Saturday night
while returning home from town.
Mr. Mauney was riding his bicycle
and the night being dark could not
see any one coming towards him, and
when opposite the Cherryville Manu
facturing Co. on the macadam road
ran into a horse and buggy, wbica
threw him violently to the ground,
breaking both bones in one leg and
otherwise bruising him up. The ser
vices of a physician were immediate
ly secured, his wounds dressed and
last reports say that he is resting
well.
Mr. and Mrs. D. P. McCIurd and
