| learned. but who boards with a man I'm
F'iskville by the name OF John Smith.
| returned to the house on Wednesday ar
| ternoon with his face besmeared with
1 -.
| by highwaymsn on Fairview avenue
while walking along tho road bound for
| Anthony. The wounds. which were
evidently not self-inihcted. bore evidence
| OF the truth OF n part OF the story at
] least. and n physician was at once sent
| for who found that one bullet had en-
tered the scalp I'm the forehead near the
beginning OF the hair. This ball. how
| ever, had come out again. however. and
! had made scalp wound about three
inches long. The other ball had entered
the head near the temple and the side OF
| the mans face was badly swollen. The
| physician probed for the bah. but could
not locate II. and gave II az his opinion
that II had also oame out again. The
man claims that while walking along the
road the three men jumped from the
bushes al the roadside and told him 10
give up his valuables This he refused
to do. and he says that one OF the men
pulled p revolver and began shooting az
him. He fell at the second shot and
did not regain consciousness for more
than an hour. and when he did there was
| no one In sight He then went 10 HIS
home and doctor was called The po-
lice OF either towns were not notified and
the first they knew of the happenings
was yesterday afternoon when the story
! became circulated. At present there ls
no clue 10 the men and they are proba bly,
| safe bv this time
