ODD FELLOWS VOTE
ON SELLING LOTS
Encampment FavOrs Holding
on to all Property at Fifth
Street and Kentucky Ave.
For Increase i'm Value
MAY MOVE BUILDING OVER.

Mangum lodge OF Odd Fellows last
night voted to sell off a lot from the
property at Fifth street and Ken
lucky avenue. Ingleside lodge prob
ably will follow suit in the next meet
ing. but the encampment voted
against it. The county clerk said
that the incorporation papers would
be sent to Frankfort the last of this
week and when returned, $4,000 in
bonds will be issued to pay off the
balance d e on the Longfellow build
ing. From $4,000 to $1,000 will be
spent in remodeling the building and
installing heating plant and santa
ton.
c. G.. Kelley, one of he trustees of
the Three Links building, does not
favor the sale of any of the property.
Owing to the building sitting in the
center OF the lot, Il makes it difficult
to sell off part of the ground and
Trustee Kelly suggests that the build
ing could be moved over to the cor
ner. This would cost $4,000 or more
but 1t would make the building more
desirable. He thinks the increase in
value in the property will be greater
than the cost of taxes and interest,
and thus make it more profitable to
retain all of the ground.

LIGHTNING PRANK
ON THE DRY DOCKS
Knocks Four W0rkmen Down
and C0nfuses Them
One Thinks Another Assaulted Him
and Finds Other Sprawled
On Ground.
NO ONE SERIOUSLY INJURED

Lightning struck four men at the
Paducah Dry Docks yesterday after
noon at A o'clock during the thun-
der shower. None was seriously in
jured, but all were foored by the
bolt. The lightning was attracted by
the steel tools in the hands of Dick
Thomson, foreman; Louis Moss,
VIII Jordan and Tom Bass, earpen-
tiers.
Feeling a sharp, heavy blow on his
right wrist and directly afterward
on his right ankle, Louis Moss turned
fiercely on VIII Jordan. his supposed
assailant. He saw Jordan sprawling
on his back across a wooden horse,
and Thomson, the foreman and
Bass, were raising themselves from
PROSTATE positions.
Drdan, just previous to the
stroke of lightning, had called Moss
to help him and Moss supposed when
he was struck by the bolt, that Jor-
dan had thrown a block of wood at
him. Moss had no tool in his hand,
but was straining at timber. Jordan
had a brace and bit in his hand and
the lightning, according to the other
men on the docks who saw the oc-
currence, played up and down this
bit until Jordan was knocked back
ward. Thomson had a saw in his
hand and his experience was the
same as Jordan's. Bass had a crow
bar in his hand prizing out rotten
timbers from the towboat Nellie and
was sent reeling from the shock.
Where the lightning struck Moss
on the wrist and ankle, there are two
scars about an inch and a half long
each, of a whitlsh color. His leg was
twisted sharply as the lightning ran
down from his wrist to his ankle. The
others have no scars as the light
ming did not strike their persons, but
the tools in their hands.
The dry docks are a peculiarly in
viting place for lightning. After the
rain yesterday, the men were stand
ing on the wet docks and all the tim
bers they were handling, were wet.
Water is one of the best conductors.
The lightning played visibly all up
and down tie steel rails of the Illi-
nois Central railroad trestle on the
bank above the dry docks.
Aside from the four men directly
struck by the bolt, boy was fioored
as he entered the door of the tool
flatboat, and men on other parts of
the docks felt the effects of the
lightning.
