Jealous rival theory in Bell resort tragedy
Reported in a Saturday morning shooting at the Bell resort on West Market Street with Fahrbach shot in the left eye. Friends suspect a third person and blood traces point to a possible altercation, while police consider Fahrbach killed himself after a quarrel with Bessie Bell. Dora Bartlett and Jennie Bell testify of conflicting details as coroner Geck seeks Fosner, a boatman, and the overnight visitor. The wounded woman remains in serious condition with slim chances of recovery.
