LIGHTNING DEALS DEATH
T. L. GAY OF ALLAPAHA WAS KILLED
SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
Tom Wills Seriously Injured But Will
Probably Recover. Dead Man Had
PremOnition of Tragedy.

One dead and another seriously
injured is the sad story of lightning G. s
havoc near Dawson Sunday afternoon.
Mr.. T. L. Gay was struck and in
stantly killed and Mr.. Tom Wills badly
hurt by bolt which descended from
the heavens at 2:l5 o'clock. They
were standing on the front veranda of
Mr.. j. |. Britt's house several miles
west of Dawson when the fatal flash
came. Other inmates of the house
were badly shocked and it was thought
for time that Mr.. Wills would not
recover. DR.. j. H. Lewis was hurriedly
summoned and heroic measures used
for the injured mans restoration,
which was finally accomplished,
though he sustained burns, which if
they do not prove fatal, will be felt for
months to come.
Mr.. Gay was a prominent citizen OF
Allapaha, having recently resigned
the position of town marshal there.
The circumstances surrounding his
sudden death are unusually sad and it
seems that the young man had pre-
monition of the coming tragedy.
He had been visiting relatives in
Calhoun county with a cousin from
Allapaha and the two left there to Wis
it their aunt Mrs. Britt, in this cOun-
ty, having arrived only about an hour
before the sad event occurred. For
the past month Mr.. Gay had seemed to
be impressed with the idea that he was
soon to die and so declared himself to
his relatives. On Sunday morning he
showed some bills TO his cousin and
told him that they would go to pay his
funeral expenses. Strangely enough
they we're the only contents of his
pockets that were not injured by the
bolt of lightning. His clothes were
burned, his watch aud other articles
damaged, but the bills were intact and
the remarkable prophecy was full
filed.
The tragedy was an exceedingly
sad one and is greatly deplored by the
relatives and large number of friends
of the dead young man. The remains
were shipped Monday to AllaUaha for
interment.

farewell respects to The county gang

days of his sentence.
1t was at the last session OF the city
court that Sam was sent up for point

time he exhibited remarkable pro-

was evidenced, as the negro frantical-

up the role by 6guratively butting out

of mprisonment.
1t was while the road gang was
working several miles south of Dawson
Wednesday afternoon that Stewart in
some way contrived to escape. His
absence was soon afterwards noted,
and an immediate hunt for him was
made. Dogs were put on his track and
they followed him to Herod, where
the trail was lost.
This is the third escape from the
road gang within the past few weeks.
Under the conditions prevailing it is
almost impossible to maintain as close
vigilance as in permanent camps,
and it is 30 fault OF the guards that
these escapes have been made.

American System of Cables,
Telegraph and Wireless
Lines Runs to Far North
REPORT MADE ON WORK
General A. W. Greely Tells OF
Great Task Completed by
Signal Corps of the Army

WASHINGTON. Nov 1S.-General A.
w. Greely, chief signal officer Of the
United States army, in his annual re-
port gives an interesting account of the
work performed by his corps in estab-
fishing an all-American telegraphic
system in Alaska, saying the undertake
ing is unique in the annals OF tele-
graphic engineering. The cables used
in the Alaskan system would reach
from Newfoundland To Ireland and the
land lines from Washington to Texas,
there being 2079 miles of cables, 1889
miles of land lines and 107 miles OF
wireless lines.
General Greely says the United States
has brought Southeastern Alaska, the
Yukon Valley and the Bering Straits re-
gion into telegraphic communication
with the rest of the civilized world
General Greedy adds that after thor
ough consideration he decided to install
material of American manufacture. TO
be operated by American soldiers and
to be laid by American ships Every
thing connected with the line Is Ameri-
can with the exception Of some cable
instruments and machinery. A selected
force of men has been so trained that
to-day the signal corps Of the army .s
competent to operate in war emergen~
cies submarine cable Of any length.
repairs In Alaska are made, the re-
port says. by parties stationed at log
cabins about forty miles apart, one
signal corps repair man, with two as
sistants Of the line Of the army and a
dog team, being at each cabin. The
men meet the terrible conditions OF
hardship and privatlon uncOmplaining
ly and with a fortitude characteristic
of the American soldier"
The report says the Nome wireless
station has daily and uninterruptedly
transmitted the entire telegraphic busi-
ness of the peninsula, 5000 words being
exchanged in one afternoon between
Safety Harbor and ST. Michael. The
signal corps of the army, Greedy says.
is now regularly operating the longest
wireless section of any commercial tele-
graph system in the world. The annual
business Of the Seattle cable Is esti-
mated at s25.000. and during the year
there has been spent $56. 935 for Alaskan
kilograms handled by the signal corps.
Speaking Of the Philippines. he says
the sixteen most important islands of
the archipelago are now connected by
cable, which lines, he adds, are recog-
nized as Indispensable both by the mill
tary and civil authorities.
