Statesville, Feb. 2—William Morrison, cabinet foreman in the Sherrill Green Lumber Company, is in the Davis Hospital tonight suffering with a fractured skull resulting from injuries inflicted by Arch Cline, employe of the same company, this morning about 10 o’clock. The difficulty started with a few words between the two employes over a trivial matter, it is said, the outcome being that Cline picked up a piece of timber and struck Morrison over the side of his head. He was carried to the hospital in an unconscious condition, but later partly recovered from the shock and regained partial consciousness.
The skull on the left side was fractured and is considered very serious. Attending physicians stated it may be 48 hours before the outcome can be determined.
Cline, after realizing the seriousness, surrendered to officers and is now in jail awaiting results of Morrison’s injuries. Morrison is 42 years old, has a wife and five children. Cline is about 35 years old and has a wife.
