Monroe News: While at work in a we'll
IN town last Thursday, CicOro Edwards came
within an inch Of being killed. His assistant
colored man was out to send down a
plank which Cicero needed at the lotion.
Instead Of putting one end OF the plank In the
bucket and fastening the other to the rope
shove, the negro simply tied the plank to the
rope starting 1t down. The plank WAS hard
1y in the mouth OF the we'll before the string
plunged end-first into the we'll striking
Cicero on the curve of his forehead. The
blow was severe, and at first the injury ap.
peared serious. DR.. Galloway, who attended
the injured man. soon brought him round
but expressed the opinion that had the plank
struck an inch or two further toward the top
OF the head, death would have been instanta-
neous.
