DRIVER AND 4
MULES KILLED
CHARLIE CANIPE AND HL3
TEAM OF FOUR MULES BE
LONGING TO STAMEY BROS.
KILLED WEDNESDAY OX FAL
LSTOX ROAD BY LIGHTNING.
On th? Fallston road Ayednesday
afternoon during a thunderstorm, Mr.
Charlie Canipe and his team of four
rnules, belonging to Stamey Broa,
merchants of Fallston, were killed
suddenly by a bolt of lightning while
the wagon was making its daily re
turn from Shelby to Fallston. The
accident happened on a clear road
near Mr. Jim Wright's just beyond
Mr. Odus Mull's place. While the
storm was brewing, the Wrights no
ticed Mr.. Canipe coming up the road,
and shut the door to keep out the
wind and rain. They heard the re
port of the lightning and thought it
struck their barn and on looking out
of the window, saw the mule3 to the
Stamey wagon lying in the road.
They hastened to the scene and found
all four mules and Mr. Canipe deac.
All fell to the left just as if the wind
had blown them down. As soon as
the starm abated, Mr. Wright went
to the home of a neighbor where a
telephone message was sent to Stam
ey Bros. The news spread quickly
and people gathered, two physicians
being sent to the scene, but it was
found that the driver and his four
mules were stone dead.
Those who visited the scene say
Mr. Canipe showed a slight burnt
place to the rear of one ear and one
of the mules appealed scorched on
the side. Otherwise there were no
apparent wounds, neither was the
freight nor the wagon damaged. A
spot of cotton in the field may die.
Mr. Canipe was 30 years of age and
the son of Mr. Amos Canipe. He was
married to Miss Fay Gladden who
survives with three small children.
For seven years he had been in the
employ of Stamey Bro3. and was a
man of splendid character, high mor
als, even temperament and thorough
ly trustworthy in every respect. Mr.
Stamey said yesterday that in the 7
years he had been in their employ he
was never known to lose his temper
and show anger. The Shelby business
men with whom he was thrown in
contact held him in high esteem. He
was courteous and always willing to
accommodate anyone.
The funeral was held yesterday at
Fallston and the interment was at
Friendship church, the services be
ing conducted by Revs. J. II. Moton
and J. F. Moser with Junior Order
honors. A large crowd attended as
testimony to the high esteem in which
he was held and the sadness that was
caused by his untimely di-ath.
Stamey Bros, had the four dead
mules hauled off yesterday and bur
ied. During the same storm, lightning
struck a tree in the yard of Mr. and
Mrs. Claude Stamey at Fallston. No
one was at home at the time. No
damage except to the tree.
