BOLT OF LIGHTNING KILLS L. L. MOSELY

Dies Instantly When Struck On Farm at Montpelier Springs.

MULE KILLED BY SAME FLASH

Brother Watches As Man and Animal Sought Shelter of Barn.

Lightning that struck on the farm of Mrs. M. A. Mosely, at Montpelier Springs, on the Thomaston Road, at 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, killed her youngest son, Lunnie L. Mosely. A mule that was standing close-by was killed by the same bolt. No other damage was done to the property, and so far as known this was the only place in Middle Georgia that was struck by lightning during yesterday's thunderstorm.

Mr. Mosely was 32 years old, married and the father of one child, Annie Ruth.

L. F. Mosely, his oldest brother, looked on yesterday afternoon as L. L. Mosely was struck down. He rushed up to his brother's side, and as he reached him the stricken man raised himself to a sitting posture and died in his brother's arms without being able to utter a word.

Watches Bolt Strike.
L. F. Mosely brought the news of the death of his brother to this city last evening. He said that he was standing in the barn and that his brother had just come in from a field with the mule, seeking shelter. The storm was approaching at the time and as he was looking at his brother and the mule, just outside of the barn door there was a blinding flash. When he was able to see again his brother and the mule lay upon the ground.

Besides his mother, wife and daughter, Lunnie L. Mosely is survived by five brothers and two sisters.

L. F., J. L., L. J., L. G., and L. S. Mosely, and Mrs. L. C. Baultney, of Unadilla, and Mrs. L. P. Cosey, of Montpeliar Springs. The family is well known in Macon.

The funeral will take place this afternoon at 4:30 o'clock at the family graveyard, Rev. H. H. Mosely, a member of the family officiating.
