Severe Storm At Waycross

Waycross, Ga., Oct. 6 – A.P. Perham, Jr., Editor of the Waycross Herald, was 
instantly killed in an electric storm of violence that swept over this place 
today, destroying telephone and telegraph wires and throwing live wires about 
the streets.

A number of horses some of them fine animals met instant death in coming in 
contact with the wires while danger was rife.

That no immediate death except Mr. Perham’s occurred is regarded as 
surprising.  Mr. Perham’s was on the street near the office of the Southern 
Express Co., when a live wire, dangling from a pole struck him.  He dropped on 
the streets dead.

Mr. Perham was one of the best-known men of this section, having been in the 
newspaper business here for years.
