ED BELL LOSES ARM AT PUMPING STATION

 

 

 

 

  George Crigger, of Duhring, W. VA., who on Thanksgiving Day at Falls Mills, this county, struck Ed. Bell of Coopers, over the head with a Winchester rifle, crushing his skull, was brought to Tazewell on Monday and lodged in the county jail. Crigger has almost entirely recovered from the gunshot wounds inflicted on him by the friends of Bell, who attempted to lynch him on the night following the tragedy at Falls Mills.  Bell is still in the hospital at Bluefield, but is now stated that he will certainly recover.  [Tazewell Republican (Twell, Va.), January 28, 1909]

 

A steel plate was placed in Ed's skull as a result of this injury.
