KILLED BY
LIGHTNING
MRS. ). L. JAMES STRUCK At
HER HOME ON THE HAMp-
SHIRE PIKE.

During a heavy electrical and rain
storm Saturday. afternoon Mrs. J. L.
Jaynes was killed at her home a few
miles out on the Hampshire pike
There were about fifteen people in the
house at the time. a number Of pas
sers-by having sought refuge out Of
the storm, but no one else was in
jured. The lightning struck near the
chimney on the roof and it Is thought
the bolt came down the fiue. The
bolt appeared to separate on reaching
the interior Of the room, part strik-
ing door way against which Mrs.
Jaynes was leaning and killing her,
and a part entering another room and
doing some damage. This part of the
bolt which entered the other room
burned hole through the hat of one
of the men in the room. Mr.. Jaynesa
was directly under the fiue and was
knocked down and badly shocked.
No mark was found on the body of
Mrs. Jaynes to show that she was
struck. and the opinion is advanced
that she was not struck at all. but
was simply shocked and frightened tol
death. She is survived by her hus-
band and several children. The fam
lily formerly lived if Columbia, Mr..
Jaynes clerling for M. d. King. His
