One Killed; One Wounded - A Farmer is Killed and His Son Severly Hurt by a 
Stroke of Lightning - Two Other Persons Stunned

Newbern, July 2 - A very fierce thunderstorm occurred two miles from here 
today. Four men who were working in a field sought shelter from the storm in a 
house. Lightning struck the house and killed one of the number, James Averett, 
and severely wounded his son. LeRoy Dixon and a son were stunned by the shock 
and were unconscious for more than an hour. Their horse was killed. The house 
was burned. Telephone and telegraph wires have been wrecked.
