Sheriff Joe Blakely left this morning

badly injured face yesterday to bear
out his story that he was assaulted
with rocks and then made the target
for couple of shots.
The alteration, it is said, is the re-
suit of a quarrel between Curry and
Johnson. the latter denying the for
mer the privilege of crossing his pro-

two of them striking the other man
in the head and inflicting bad
wounds. Then, the camptender says,
his assailant drew a revolver and
