Chief Coffey's Injury More Serious Than Thought, March 3, 1925

Chief Coffey was more seriously hurt in the fall from an automobile near Sylva on March 25th than was at first believed. The doctors say that he will be confined to his bed for several weeks. It is now thought that his hip was either dislocated or fractured. The good people of Franklin regret this accident and wish for the Chief a rapid recovery. While Chief Coffey is confined to his bed, Mr. J.R. Norris is acting Chief of Police.
