 LODGING HEART
Puzz'es Physicians Who Do Not Know Why Y.cl.m of Na.chman's Gun
 Still Lives.

That aged William Carn1an of Green wich. who was sentenced yesterday. by Judge Ralph Wheeler. to three months in jail, is alive is beyond the explanation of physicians. Carman on the night of Sept 19. last. attempted to enter a Greenwich hardware store. As he was entering a window, the watcrhman fired. The bullet hit Car man just over the heart. went through his body, and came out under the shoulder. His heart nomina.ly lay in the course of the leaden shot. The physicians give only one explanation. They believe that Carman was lean ing over in going through the win dow, which caused his heart to be in a different than normal position. Oth- CTS suggested that Carman was so frightened when he saw the pistol that his heart went up into his mouth. Carman Is now in broken health. He told the court that he was drunk and did not know he was rob- ping the place.

Brunswick is yitaly interested in
the subject for which this meeting is
called, that of securing better game
laws for the state, and a representa-
tive from this city should be present.
it is known that the present game
laws are grossly violated in this and
adjoining counties, to such an extent
that if something is not done in the
near future to protect game in all sec
tions of the state, it will soon be a
"gameless" state.
The three gentlemen who. have
signed the call for the meeting are
well known Georgia sportsmen, who
have been the initiatives in providing
some law for the protection of the
game, and every county in the state
should be represented at the meeting
Tuesday.
