WRECKED; LOSS IS
$3,000; TWO MEN
SLIGHTLY HURT
Two men were slightly in
jured and the rock crushing
plant of the Porter Construe-

wrecked with a loss of $3,000 .
as the result of lightning,
which, attracted by the nu
merous heavy wire trolley
cables overhead, struck the
Porter plant yesterday even
ing at 5 o'clock, just as the
men were about to leave for
their homes.
Louis Porter, owner of the
rock crushing concern, located
at Lobart siding, a few miles
out of the city, and A. J.
Lewis, were knocked uncon
scious, remaining that way for
nearly 15 minutes. They were
rushed to Klamath Falls for
treatment, where, last night
they were reported at their
homes to be severely bruised
and shaken up, but otherwise
not badly injured. y
