Bloomington (Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana) Daily Telephone, June 20, 1928, pgs. 1 & 8. Note: Because of the length of the item and its being divided into sections with their own headings, I am dividing the posts into multiple items, using the sections and their headings. The newspaper story covers one full-page column on page 1 and the greater part of three full-page columns on page 8. Freakishness of the Bolt The freakishness of the bolt of lightning which killed the four men yesterday afternoon is shown in a number of ways. The escape of two men who were directly in the party is most marvelous. Hobbs was directly between Thomas and Otto Hacker, so close that he could touch both men, when the bolt struck. There was a terrible crash, a blinding flare and Hobbs knew nothing for some time. The time of the accident is not known definitely to the minute, although watches were carried by two of the victims. These watches were not damaged and were not even stopped by the terrible force of the bolt of lightning. Dr. Smith found both the watches running when he examined the bodies of the two men. He took possession of them to turn over to the proper relatives.
