Strikes
Two Women!

Mrs. Carl Haapala, living out be-
yond Turkey hammock, received seri-
Gus injuries when she was struck by
lightning during the electric storm
last night. Mrs. Haapala was work
ing around the kitchen when the light
ming struck the chimney and followed
it down, accompanied by a shower Of
SCOT. The current struck Mrs. Haapala
about the waist and ran down her
limbs to the floor. She was burned
badly and her right leg was paralyzed.
Dir. Albaugh was called Immediately
to attend her.
Mary Clark, a colored woman, was
badly shaken up also when her house
was struck recently during storm.
The stove was knocked down, win
dow casing shattered, and the woman
herself was knocked over by the force
of the shock.

ASSURANCES ARE GIVEN
FOR BARGE CONTRACTS
ANOTHER SHIPYARD FOR TAM
PA CERTAIN - BOARD WILL
AWARD CONTRACT AS SOON
AS YARD is READY
(Tampa Tribune.)

Tampa will get new shipyard, as
@surances having been given w. H.
Kendrick by the shipping board that a
contract for barges will be awarded his
concern as soon as it has its yard
ready to lay the keel. H. C. McFar-
lane wrote S. NJ Sparlsman from
Philadelphia, where the officials in
charge of letting contracts had acted
favorably on Chairman Hurley's rec
ommendation that the Tampa concern
be given contracts for barges.
The letter stated that the contracts
will be on as favorable terms as those
offered by any contractor, though no
information is given as to which of
two types of barges under considera-
ton are to be built here.
The understanding here regarding
the fact that the contracts have not
been actually awarded is that under
the boards policy no contracts will be
awarded to any but an established
concern. Mr.. Sparkman, Mr.. Macfar-
lane and Senator Fletcher have been
able to get around this by securing as
suranees for the contractors, which
are binding enough, so that the local
syndicate can go ahead with the con-
struction of its yard without any dan
ger of the shipping boards failure
to let the contract as soon os the con-
cern has an established yard.
S. c. Cobb, who with c. F. Auliel1
and J Wade Tucker are associated
with Mr. Kendrick, stated last night
that he understood the local shipping
board inspector had been instructed to
investigate the site proposed for the
yard and that he had made his report
by wire on the Ball-Swann property
on the estuary Immediately. across
from the Daniels plant.

TERRY MURPHY'S BIG FIST
SENDS HUN TO LAND OF NOD

Paris, Aug. 17.-Forced in close
bayonet fighting to use the butt OF his
gun across the head of a boche to lay
him low, Terry Murphy, the Pitts
burgh lightweight, unable to recover
his gun rapidly enough to meet the
next man, swung with his right fist
upon German lieutenant who was
ready to draw upon him, and knocked
the Hun into Inconsistencies. 1t was
Terry's first knockout in France.
Terry's unit was brigaded with the
French in the sector about Chateau
Thierry. He was one of hundreds OF
volunteers from his regiment to seek
duty in the front line.
1t was the intention at first to have
the volunteers proceed brigaded with
a French battalion. They were given
their proper formation and told to adj
vance with the French poilus only to
certain point, the idea being to ia
miharize them with actual fire. Fur
ther advance was to be made by the
poilus leaving the American volun-
teers behind. At the point where they
were to stop, they were overcome with
eagerness. and went right on with the
poilus, making creditable showing.

France, Sunday, July 21, 1918.
Dear Friend Lucas:
Your letter received yesterday ev-
ening, and glad to hear from you. !
am very glad to know that you will
send my paper right to me. We are
in a more permanent place now and
the mail will travel faster. We were
in the trenches for ten days and we
had very heavy bombardment of
artillery fire. The Germans made
strong drive last Sunday night and
shelled us for four days. They were
driven back with a heavy loss. The
battle was fought by the French and
Americans assisting together. We
were relieved last Friday from the
trenches so as we could get a good
rest as we had a very hard battle. The
explosion Of the shells and shrapnel
flying through the air is very hard
on any ones nerves.
Our American artillery were praised
very much for their work, as Gen.
Pershing said we are the Iron Divis-
ion.''
Several were shell shocked and quite
a few casualties, but not as many as
we expected in comparison with the
heavy attack.
Please excuse this unclean paper,
but I am lucky to get this. You know
a sold ss.s' siife issvery indefinite and
I'VE have to watch our chance to write.
/ appreciate your kindness in print
ing my previous letter and reading
them to my friends. Very sorry |
cannot tell you more of the plain
facts, but you know we have got to be
careful.
So far I have escaped injury. The
gas attacks were very numerous, but
few of US were caught.
hope to>be back in Tarpon Springs
soon; probably by Christmas. The
Germans are just beginning to realize
what the American soldiers can do.
Give my regards to my friends and
brot hers. | hope you are getting
along good; business increasing.
Just now we are camping out of
range of the Hun guns. Our trip
across was successful, landing in Eng
land and from there to here in France.
The climate is very agreeable and we
have had very little sickness.
Will close, trusting you are well, and
give my regards to my friends, and
I'll live in hopes of receiving my pa
per. From your old friend,
