dering Missle as He Sits
Down at Table.
C. L. Glaspey of Lowell was
knocked unconscious and his head
pierced by a stray bullet at-noon
Saturday when he with other men
were eating lunch at the Hill mill,
Lowell. On investigation by phy
sicinns at Springfield tho injury
was found not to be serious, the
bullet having penetrated the man’s
head but not having fractured the
skull.
No trace of the source of the
bullet has been found.
It hit
Glaspey from an angle and glanced
from his head. First reports led
mill officials to believe that the
bullet had been aimed at the man,
but after a thorough investigation
it was agreed that the injury was
accidental.
Mr. Glaspey, accompanied by his
wife, was rushed to Springfield,
where tho unconscious man was ex
amined by a physician there. In
less than an hour after the acci
dent, Mr. Glaspey was on his re
turn trip back to the mill, suf
fering considerably from the injury
but not in a serious condition.
The mill employes had just taken
their places at the table when the
bullet whizzed through tho room,
striking Mr. Glaspey. Immediate
search was made in the surrounding
territory for a supposed murderer,
but no trace of a man with a gun
could be found.
If no complications set in, tho
man will recover from the accident
